Good Morning Group,
We are heading out to the Painted Desert then returning via the Oodnadata track next week. We have just bought a UHF radio per all the advise you read about doing a trip in the bush. I have one question regarding the use of repeaters, are they for emergency use only or is it only the listed channel that is for emergency use and the repeater boosts all 40 channels? We bought the Track Series book which lists all the emergency channels down the track, but as you can see we are first timers and don't really understand how it works.
Any advise on the track and or uhf useage will be greatly appreciated. We would like to stay at Arckaringa Station but have been unable to contact them, I'm hoping we will have more luck from Coober Pedy where we may find more information on the Station. Has anyone stayed at the Station? what is it like? it appears to be the closest point to the Painted Desert, We want to take sunrise pictures of the area.
Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming.
