So we all know that our loved emergency red button on our HF Radios is no longer monitored by the RFDS.
BUT, never fear, Austravel Safetynet has resurected the beloved button, meaning that anyone in your travelling party can operate the HF radio, simply by one press of one button on a Codan or two buttons together on a Barrett to make direct voice contact with an emergency help responder. (No radio operation knoweledge required.)
But how does it work? It's not magic, BUT, you do need to need to be a member and have your radio programmed appropriately.

WHO NEEDS HF RADIO
Any traveller in Australia who visits areas outside mobile-phone coverage, either camping, prospecting, caravanning or just passing through remote areas should consider High Frequency (HF) radio. HF radio is a viable method of making a call for assistance or emergency contact for help in the instant required, which could be life saving. .
Austravel SafetyNet Inc. is a not-for-profit HF radio club run by volunteers, established to provide an affordable recreational HF radio communications network for its members. Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle/vessel to base communications including, radphone, direct dial telephone calls, electronic position logging, text and position emails and bi-directional mailbox text messaging are all features of the network. Membership at the appropriate level grants license to transmit on our commercial frequencies.
