Thanks for the replies.
Yes, I get ABC2.

Unfortunately the references and frequency suggested are for Perth.  I 
live in Collie, with the transmitter located on Mt Leonard which is 
about 30km east of Bunbury.

I get "no signal" on the 536MHz frequency.  I have yet to find a website 
with details for the Mt Leonard digital transmitter.

I do get a lock on a transmitter using 571MHz, but critical information 
on using the signal appears to be missing.  I'm not sure where I got 
571.  It's left over from when I was trying to get things working a few 
months ago, but what notes I can find from that effort associate it with 
SBS.
