bit of a silly question for people in Perth

[craigperth]

Hey guys & Gals,

I just had my GME 3100 installed with a 6.6DB aerial ($360 installed)... I know it works cause I have managed to hear some folk on it...

But what channel do most people sit their radios on? I was told losely

5 is emergency
rest are hit and miss

They thought 1 and 2 was southern suburbs traffic and 2 and 3 was northern suburbs traffic...

I am northern suburbs but some of the traffic I hear is based in kewdale...

Maybe I should just leave it off except when I am wheeling??

I have tried to search on here for more info / radio ediquite but cant find anything...

[craigperth]

ah ok... any tips? I believe by law you cant transmit on all channels??? what cant you use? also how would they catch you??

Jocwa, She'll Be Right Gang, and when wheeling we all use CH 16...

Thats what mine is tuned to all the time...

Hey Gravel,

Sorry been away, Heard some folk yesterday on chanel 5 carring on... thought it was reserved for emergency? But then again I guess how do you get caught right?

Cool will keep an ear on chanel 16, I saw a nice yellow rig heading north on the freeway arround greenwood station, approx 5:30ish... I think he had chanel 16 displayed on the rear window of the flattop... nice rig :)

Cheers
