Thanks Wonky, a whole heap of little things really that I've either been unable to find on the various websites or work out for myself?

I've got a list (so far) of 91 sites but some of them have unknown site numbers (Mt Dandenong, Bacchus Marsh, Burwood East, Egg Rock, Greensborough & Mt Towt), some of them I'm missing control channels for, I haven't got any backup CC info for any of the MMR sites and I've discovered that there must be a seventh bandplan that I'm missing; I have plans 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 & 07 but site 124 (Mt Anakie - love the name BTW) and site 140 (Mt Victoria) have a heap of freqs in the 462 MHz range that don't fit any of the above bandplans?

Also, I'm trying to work out which simulcast sites belong to which donor sites? I have:

101 Collins St, 525 Collins St & 360 Elizabeth St as site 101

Geelong & Wandana Heights as site 108

Kinglake & Pheasant Creek as site 119

Frankston, Narre Warren, Clayton & Cheltenham as site 123 (off Mt Dandenong)

Preston, Parkville, Maribyrnong, Southbank, Docklands, Federation Sq, Footscray, Prahan & Heidelberg as site 126 (off 525 Collins Street)

Wantirna South & Ringwood as site 145 (off Ferny Creek)

and

South Melbourne, Parliament & Flagstaff railway stations as site 166 (off 120 Collins St)

All the above is pretty much guesswork so please, nobody quote me on any of them just yet????

Besides all that, I will be interested to try and keep up with any future developments with regards to the rumours of state-wide expansion!

Andrew

Negative.

I gather the Admin is the only one who can initiate the activation email, and he is fairly busy with other matters (like earning a living, family, etc). The website is only a hobby, so we just have to wait.

Hey Sigint, go try the VICSCAN forum again...

I still haven't received an activation email (as it said I would) but now I can log in anyway!

P.S. I'm now looking at the SA-GRN and it's HUGE... 191 sites! Compared to 162 sites for the NSWGRN and 102 for the VICMMR (counting simulcast sites for each).

MMR and SAGRN have simulcast?

Does NSWGRN have it too?

Great work Andrew :!:

Mt Helen apparently has CC 421.475, but the site ID is unknown at the moment.

Do you think to save yourself a heap of work on the SAGRN - wait until they have made the P25 change over? Moto now has the contract and they going to upgrade it...sometime :)

Yep, when I say simulcast I'm referring to sites like our Site 150 (Crown Castle) where one donor site is simulcast from a number of different 'slave' sites.
