TOWIE RADIO NOW IN OPERATION
Jam Communications has set up and provided a private UHF channel specifically for the use of tow truck drivers around Australia.
Just think - how good it would it be to travel anywhere in Australia and just speak with fellow towies on the one channel?
This private channel enables tow truck drivers to have quiet communications free from citizens band/general public traffic – when you need it most. Examples of circumstances where this is required can be seen/heard in major cities where there is a large amount of radio traffic on free CB channels, or out on the road where people can hear our conversations from 20 to 30 km’s away. Having a quiet, registered private channel enables tow truck drivers to get on with getting the job done safely, free from the idle and sometimes moronic dialogue contained within the free channels.
To enable use of the Towie channel, a new radio is required and is supplied only by JAM Communications. These are a specific type radio especially programmed for the Towie channel that also uses features such as scrambler and radio ID to eliminate the likes of “ Gordon the radio nerd ” programming up his own device and attempting to transmit on this channel or eavesdroppers on scanners. A six digit identification number is assigned to your radio which identifies you when transmitting on this channel – this is also another way to weed out undesirable communications, but mostly to identify you to other tow truck drivers within range. The normal 40 CB UHF channels will also be programmed, along with any other channels you may have rights to on request (proof of usage rights will be required to enable programming of additional channels).
No yearly fee is required for the use of this channel – Just purchase your radio from JAM Communications and away you go!
Compatible handheld radios and new antenna’s are also available if required
