Mr-Toy33 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 get a police scanner Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153807-uhf-radio-for-cruzin/#findComment-2860566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMR33 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Between those 2, I would invest in the 1 watt model...better range, includes batteries, recharger, speaker microphone etc. Worth the extra $$$ IMO. Uniden is a reputable brand too when it comes to UHF's. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Benno31 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't know how true it is but here goes, correct me if I am wrong. I was informed the Police will soon be using a system which you will not be able to listen in on, well it will be garbled to your ear. Might be worth researching that before purchasing a scanner which is often more expensive then a basic CB/UHF.

Col-GTSX Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Ben all the cops that I have delt with at Harveys use qld police provided mobile phones... The radio is only used for general coded info... Its not like you can sit there and listern to back ground checks... I had a scanner in my old 4wd back in the day... When they used to use analogue signal pre-1999 you could listern to your hearts content...

Silver_R34_GT-T Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You can buy digital scanners (dick smith guy showed me they are 900 bucks0 and he reacons u can listen to them i live in redcliffe, and luckiy for me my 200 bucks scanner works perfectly here as redcliffe is still on old system. i also get dbay, morayfeild cabultoure bribie , burpengary , and you get to hear alot of crimes go down i also heard my mate in a skyline get fingered by the cops on it lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153807-uhf-radio-for-cruzin/#findComment-2863030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphid Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 a $900 dollar scanner isn't going to let you listen to police without the crypto they're using, however a little thinking and perhaps alot less expensive scanner might do the trick.. if all else fails perhaps a little social engineering never goes astray (ie flog a cops radio) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153807-uhf-radio-for-cruzin/#findComment-2863033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
