All good with AAA this morning.

92.5 2WYR (Music FM) Moss vale.
As we know the failed radio station has been off air for quite some time now.
Now the licence for 92.5MHz is no longer to be found in the ACMA Radcom database.
Perhaps fair to say the radio station has disappeared for good. :man_shrugging:
No other clues to be found anywhere.

Definitely looks like if is it’s no longer listed.

Sad really, because they did play some good music.

I know the ABC wanted to up 92.5 Gosford to 2kw to match the community radio specs, perhaps that might now occur (going to 16kw to match the commercials might be asking too much).

IMO it has the best quality FM sound of all the Sydney-wide community stations in Sydney. I don’t notice a big difference from the left-channel but the FM stereo sounds excellent.

Yup but there is worse out there… :woozy_face:
Whilst Dynamic PS is discouraged in the Int RDS standards, the manufacturers of
some RDS encoders greatly promote the wide features & flexibility of Dynamic PS in their encoders & of course some of the (usually community) radio stations don’t know any better.
One of the worst RDS encoders I’ve seen for this online is the Dolphin brand of RDS encoder.
This doesn’t help our cause. :roll_eyes:

AAA has gone off the rails again.

The fact you have not peeled off the plastic off your screen of your radio gives me great sorrow.

Hi @Alex_Agaciak or @matt86 (if you are still at SWR 99.9)

The audio level on Tim William’s microphone during Awesome 80s is very low, particularly when mixed into the opening bits of a song.

Could I suggest that it be considered about levelling that out a bit?

I am pretty rough on equipment, so stopping the screen getting scratched up for a little while longer :joy:

I agree with this, though mine didn’t have any plastic on the screen when I got it… I can imagine it would be easy to scratch, I would have left it on mine as well if there was one.

I usually put it back in the box with the foam packaging when travelling.

My TEF (the 3 coloured buttons/silver body version) had this screen protector on as well, but it also included a custom fit screen protector in the packaging box.

Thanks for posting the revealing 99.1 MMM Country & 89.9 4AAA issue with pics & video. Hopefully SCA might have cause to pursue that interference?

All good with 4AAA this morning.

Edit: Typed too soon. Starting to go again. Can still get 99.1 Mt Dowe but stating to get interference. RDS is gone.

I wonder if ACMA will reissue the 92.5 licence for Community broadcasting in the Southern Highlands? I cannot see it being viable, or there being much interest.

I agree ACMA should not reissue the 92.5 licence in the Southern Highlands and give ABC CC a power increase. 4KW would be good.
