    Yep, wont pick it up on a normal UHF radio, will need a radio scanner within the right frequency range.
    Vic isnt digital either, well atleast not in rural areas.

    But I dont think anyone will post up the frequency for you mate, doesnt look good for the forum, and it is illegal to have a scanner programmed to it from what I've told.

    dont know about over there but its fully legal to listen here as long as you dont use it for criminal gains or to help anyone avoid arrest etc

    Not sure about other states but nothing illegal about it here (vic).
    Seems to be a common misconception though.

    Its completely legal. Though vic HAS gone digital, quite a while back. I bought a scanner a few years ago then a month later they went digital. Waste of $300 lol. I live in the sticks too btw so defiantly no go without a digital scanner. My uncle warned me it would happen but me being ignorant I bought one anyway . (hes right into this stuff and has a HUGE HF aerial on his shed supported by numerous cables )

    the portable sends and recieves on 2 frequencies so you need to scan both or you only hear half of the conversation either in or out

    you need to find the transmit frequency and the receive frequency, then set it to scan them both, or you will only get one side of the convo.

    its bloody funny listening to the police the amount of silly things they do and cockups they make.over here we were cracking up at the amount of cops who couldnt fuel up when they got the VE's cause the fuel flap locks with the car and they couldnt get it open there they were on open radio asking what the go was.and its fun when they loose someone or are tracking people with dogs all good listening,especially when they are donut eating ones puffing like hell after running after people.then theres the crashes they are funny

    Mine just has to be different lol. It has transmit and receive on the same frequency, then a separate transmit frequency. Its an old-ish uniden phone.

    As far as I know, and Im into radios/scanning, All Citys are Encrypted Apco 25 digital networks (in english - Their all "Digital") (un encrypted digital networks can be scanned with a digital scanner compatable with the network your trying to scan - but all the police ones are encrypted.) the country stuff is all analouge, so it can still be scanned - There are 468mhz networks and a few VHF networks around the country. if you want to listen to somthing because your bored, listen to transit security/transit police if their not digital. or if you wanna know where the cops are, then try listening to the fire brigade as they often say if the police are in the area of a fire their attending. no where near as good as pre-digital but its better than f**k all

    its completly legal to have it n listen it is highly illegal to transmit on these freq's and if u get pulled over with it on in the car and they test it and its able to transmit on these channels then ur stuffed where you have actually been tramsmitting.

    it has to be disabled completly

    i use to have one over here in wa great fun beats the radio anyday haha

    yeh just get a decent one 25wats etc so it got decent range

    i only had an icom ic400 pro with a tiny little antenna fixed to the glass and even that got good reception....

    and with that one you can have the police scanner aswell as 40ch cb too, handy if ur in busy areas ask some truckers to let you in etc haha

    I'm pretty damn sure that QLD has already gone digital. So no good.
