    Hopefully they've gone onto a frequency I haven't programmed into my scanner. It's been a couple of months since I can remember hearing them. Used to hear them over the North or South main channels.:confused:
    Worringly I did hear a controller mention something about Tetra:eek: and Alpha Sierra and if the mobile unit could hear them.:confused::confused:

    Any confirmed freqs would come in handy.

    AFAIK that is the DMA Southern Control Channel.

    Tallaght and Rathfarnham are in the Mike Division (164.3375). Tallaght's callsign is Mike Alpha and Rathfarnham's is Mike Bravo.

    The Garda frequencies that I listen to most are the DMA Traffic Channel on 455.1250, the DMA Northern Control on 455.7750 and my local division channel.

    I let the scanner work away in the background while I'm doing other things It's much easier than sitting in front of it waiting for transmissions.

    Some channels are very strong and easy to pick up. Just to see if your scanner is working properly try Dublin Fire Brigade on 84.5250 or Dublin Bus on 426.0500, 426.3500, 426.6250, 426.6500, 426.9500, 427.5500, 427.8250, 427.9500.

    Forgive me.. what's all this mike seria alpha brava stuff? It's how you know which guards are being called? Rather than saying "Tallaght Alpha" they'll say "Mike Alpha" ?

    And you make it sound like transmissions are very hit and miss? Is there not a lot of radio traffic with the guards?

    Im picking up tallaght garda on that frequency wishbone ash, thanks. Im also picking them up at Dublin South Control. same as Wishbone, i have it on as i play football manager or when im reading, wouldnt just sit there listening.

    Last night was fun. loads going down. Some fella was transmitting on a garda frequency, doing impressions of bertie and the garda. They werent to impressed and it think temporarily changed channels, but t was dam funny.

    Is there a decdicated Irish forum for discussing this stuff?

    most of these services have moved to a system called tetra and scanners are dying a death because they cannot reveive the signals
    best bet is to sell your scanner and use the online free scanners instead

    Or put up a discone aerial and scan other stuff. There is a HUGE lot more to Radio that evesdropping on Garda.

    Want to get my dad one for xmas, lookin to spend about 80 euro or so, wil that get me a decent one?

    Any recommendations or links?

    Probably the best starter scanner is the Yupiteru MVT 7100 one of which I sold recently for 150 euro in immaculate condition.....new they cost approx 400.

    You'll get nothing worthwhile for 80.

    I bought a Uniden from ebay for 90 a couple of years ago. Did the job.

    Glad i didnt spend more than 90 tbh.
