That Triton may have been bought in Nowra (before 2022) and then transferred to Warragul Victoria, going via Cooma. ---

I think they’re the default factory settings, with one at each end of the dial, one in the middle and 603 being an odd one. Probably a bit of a coincidence that 2 of them are/were Nowra stations. Probably one or two others as well, unusual for a radio to only have four presets, usually have at least five. ---

Probably impressive only because of the amount of noise a high power TX site can generate that can wash it out. If it was at the top of any hill without a high power TX nearby, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid at that getting that, in fact, I would be surprised if I couldn’t get it (at approx 120 km away). ---

Southern Cross Austereo have definitely started using computer generated voices for their weather bulletins, at least here in the MIA (hit/MMM). [Here is a sample of one](https://vocaroo.com/18h50v3aDJqI). It sounds so obviously robotic. Although they do still do have an actual person reading the weather updates during the morning weekday programs. ---
