*** HOW TO PAY  ***

1. Using this Website, Click on the 'DONATE' tab on the top right corner of this page "Shout Me A Coffee" & Deposit the correct amount
This Method uses Paypal and Takes 30sec of your Time
 
2. In the notes section in Paypal, please state the its for 'Radio Programming', and address if sending Micro SD Card & Area of Listening


Please allow 24/48 hours for the instructions and link to the file to be emailed to you. (i have 4 kids so things get hectic at times) also it gives me time to find frequencies for your area.

 
WHY CHOOSE ME TO PROGRAM YOUR RADIO?  
1. 40 year experience with Radio Scanners
2. I was the founder of the COW (Cell on Wheels) frequency list on GRN. 
After searching for nearly 2 days, i found that the GRN COW Portable systems have a 'NSW Wide' assignment attached to them, which means if your tower goes down for maintenance, the COW system will kick in & because my Master File includes all NSW Wide COW frequencies, you will be able to continue to listen...
3. I was also the person who worked out settings for the 436PT that need to be changed in order to receive the GRN properly. 
While everyone else was wondering why they were getting crappy reception on GRN using the 'Auto' setting, I worked out that it needed to be set to 'Manual 6' in order to be more sensitive on decoding GRN.

UNIDEN BEARCAT BC895XLT (Flashback)

Hello and welcome back... The Uniden Bearcat BC895XLT was a 300ch desktop scanner, which in its time could scan 100ch a second.. That's pretty good, even in today's standard.


This beast was chunky, had 300chs (10 bank) of storage and sported 'Trunktracker' technology. (Motorola Type I, II, IIi Hybrid, Smartnet and Privacy Plus).. analogue only.

Released in 1997, other features include: LCD dimmer, S-indicator, channel lockout, count key, weather alert, autosort and ten priority channels.

The BC-895XLT even has built-in CTCSS decode.

Other claim to fame was the ability to update the scanners firmware (a serial port on the back of the scanner supported this function)

FREQUENCY COVERAGE

  • 29-54 in 5 khz steps
  • 137-174 in 5 khz steps
  • 108-137 in 12.5 khz steps
  • 137-144 in 5 khz steps (NOTE: AM mode reception in this band is not possible due to firmware limitations)
  • 216-225 in 5 khz steps
  • 225-400 in 5 khz steps
  • 400-512 in 12.5 khz steps
  • 806-956 in 12.5 khz steps 

RESET SCANNER
With power off press and hold the MAN, 2, and 9 keys. Turn the radio on and release the keys after a few seconds.

Would i buy one? ... Yes

Anyone else have any thoughts about this radio... Good / Bad

POLAIR 3

Hello and welcome back... Taken this afternoon while buzzing around Springwood.

Apart from Radios and Music, Photography is a huge hobby of mine. Very impressed with this photo, i don't own an expensive camera (Nikon L310), so i get excited when my photos turn out sharp and reasonable size.

AIRPORT CHAOS AFTER HOAX CALL

Hello and welcome back... Sometimes, I can't believe the stupidity of people.

Someone has decided that it would be funny to start transmitting on aircraft radio and issuing directions to airplanes saying they were from control towers, they even made a hoax mayday call to Avalon and Melbourne (Tullamarine) airports.

This happened 15 times...

Unauthorized transmissions on non-public radio channels is an offence, and the person responsible could face up to 20 years in prison.

Apart from the obvious danger to passengers and crew, this is the sort of behavior is what will make authority's say 'How can we stop this thing from happening again'
The result will be, that changes will be made and the hobby of Aviation listening will be a thing of the past.. all thanks to some dickhead.

This sort of shit pisses me off...I love Aviation monitoring, its about the only thing that hasn't changed much in 30 years which means you can still get a cheap receiver (or an old scanner), as long as it covers the aviation bands and be sure to hear something within a few mins.

If anyone knows who is doing this, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000
before its too late.

Oh yeah, and if you know them personally, give them a good smack in the head and tell them to wake up to themselves, courtesy of the aviation loving community.
