SOME Aus stations use a 125 kHz offset.  In Melbourne it is Ch 9 and SBS.  
If you want it to work with version 0.24, and maybe others, scan, then go 
to "edit transports" and add 125000 to the offending entries.  Reception 
improved dramatically for me when I did that.   

While you are at it, mark the ABC as add free, and delete duplicate 
transports.  

After that write it down somewhere so that you will remember to do it 
again next time you have to set anything up.
