10. RFDS and Telstra services

The Radiophone has been customised for simple operation into
the following remote area safety services:

•

the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)

•

Telstra (formerly OTC).

Channel frequencies for both services have been programmed
into the Radiophone and some front panel controls have been
dedicated to operate into those facilities provided.

This section briefly covers the services offered by each
organisation and details the procedures required to use these
services.
