On some radios your emergency button(s) can be programmed, so that with a single press the radio automatically sends a distress alert call, gaining automatic access to a human operator. Our HELP is not just for life threatening emergencies. There are many circumstances that can arise in remote areas where you may just require assistance. We allow all of our channels to be used mobile to mobile including vessels, be mindful of the sked times to minimise interference to others. In total Austravel has 31 licensed frequencies which cover all of Australia and all bases have Telcall+ which provildes direct dial Phone access, GPS logging, SMS to any mobile phone, Mail Box messaging and Emergency (Help) call monitoring. We make the most of operational features available on newer CODAN, BARRETT and ICOM commercial radios, while still supporting older radios, making Austravel SafetyNet the premier of all HF radio networks. Austravel now has six bases in total two of which are North of the Tropic of Capricorn. That locates two bases covering very remote areas where it is nice to travel and mobile phone communication is sporadic. We have a focus on having a high technical standard at the bases. In the North bases have two antennas each to cater for close and long range communication while Perth base as a specific antenna to provide very strong signals to the North, North East covering the vast state of W.A. and into the N.T.
