In Australia there are companies that offer a full service solution to businesses that need two-way comms, typically pubs, private security, event management etc where radio is not their core business. They provide 400mHz band radios on a lease basis and handle licencing for a monthly fee. The problem is the licence is not in the name of the end user, so impossible to discern from the ACMA public register (bit like Rimington cabs). The only way to find out is to use a scanner with close capture technology, or an rtl-sdr with a very short ant positioned close to the location of interest. Most are still NFM simplex and unencrypted - this video has inspired me to start hunting!

The most important part of scanning is having the right antennas for what you want to listen to. You have a lot more flexibility receiving vs transmitting, but if you're trying to cover 150mhz to 800 mhz with a little whip sitting in an apartment you'll have a bad time.

I just built & installed a biconical antenna which seems to work well from VHF up to 800 MHZ (and I've also heard CB on it) which basically consists of two bowties at right angles to each other, making a fat dipole with omnidirectional coverage. I can certainly hear the 800 MHZ trunked systems better than on my discone.

One of my prized possessions in the late 90s was a Scout RF scanner. It was great for finding any nearby FM transmitters. It was a very simple device that would simply capture a log any FM modulation considerably above the RF floor. They make a new variant called the digital scout for finding newer digitally modulated signals...but it's not cheap.

There's also the shortwave frequencies, if you don't live near an airport the airband is going to be very spotty (you're only going to hear the airplanes that are in your vicinity), now if you have an SSB capable shortwave radio you you can get the ones on shortwave in most places.

If you've got a scanning program for that dongle, and the dongle is right on frequency. Sometimes I have to adjust the dongle frequency when listening to VHF or UHF, using the program SDR-radio. But actually the best scanner I have is the Uniden BCD396XT I got recently. I can hear all the local trunked systems on it, plus I can record all the traffic to my laptop.

I use an Airspy R2 and an AR-DV1 at the same time, connected to the same antena with a splitter. While searching, i look for signals on the SDR (10 MHz bandwidth window) and tune the AR-DV1 whenever I discover a new signal. Log everyting in a spreadsheet. Store the interesting frequencies in the AR-DV1. When listening, just set the AR-DV1 in scanner mode hopping over all the banks you're interested. This way you can compile your own "frequency book" in a couple of weeks. The best part is listening to a frequency for hours, logging every small glimpse of information, putting it all together and getting a picture of what's going on and where.

Just my 2 cents if you want to scan only get an SDR 1 they are cheap 2 you can listen to everything within a very large frequency range. Yes it does take a little bit of learning but there is a tutorial for everything and you can visually look at a large portion of bandwidth and actually see transmissions and there are decoders available for almost everything that isn’t truly encrypted and it’s easy to expand its capabilities through application specific add ons.

I still have that AOR AR-2002 it was a great receiver (still in the filling cabinet) in it's time and also a Sony PRO-80 (now I have only 2 working ones of those and one broken). Now I use a MALAHIT DSP2, SDR USB radio receivers and a couple of modded Ham handheld transmitters (modded to not transmit and better frequency coverage software). I also have that book of radio frequencies in the ring binder and I can confirm most are now digital frequencies now.

It would still require some manual cultivation, but I could imagine having an SDR and some programming knowledge could help. Write a programme that listens to a small section of the airwaves for a fraction of a second, if there's some signal above a certain threshold, record the frequency and time, then move on, if there is no signal just move on. You'd need to then go through and actually see what's there and prune your list to get rid of the frequencies that are just interference, but such a programme if run for a day or two would easily give you a finite list of places to start a manual search. Recording the time would be crucial in narrowing your search, since if something is making noise at all hours of the day, it could just be a machine making electrical noise, but if times are sporadic or only showing activity on a schedule, you might have actual communication.

You'll never hear the police but you can still very easily hear ambo's in Victoria at around 166-168mhz, a lot of it's not even digital, and what is isn't encrypted (analogue seems to be used to service more regional areas, I've heard Wodonga and Warnambool mentioned a few times). l feel comfortable sharing because they've on those frequencies since I got my first cheap realtek dongle 10 years ago, they're very clearly aware anyone can listen, and the signals are so damn strong I can sit inside and pick them up with a 1" needle inserted into the sma of a realtek dongle as the "antenna" (I'm just in south eastern suburbs of Melbourne too, nowhere near where it's coming from), so I wouldn't call them hard to find.

Spot on Lewis, time and patience are key parts of scanning. Takes some time to build up a directory and some frequencies come and go. It’s also worth keeping an eye on big events too like Eurovision and the Commonwealth Games for example, new comms usually pop up. Driving around town with a small micro mag mount can be interesting and new frequencies can be found that way. 73 👍🏼

Yip, it's just what I do as a newcomer to this game: I use the best antenna that's fit for t'job, and just keep scanning the bejesus out of every frequency my kit covers.. Great fun... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Best way I used to find what frequency is I had a tiny handheld frequency counter. Find a place where let’s say police hang out. I’d have the box turned on and if anyone close by keyed up their radio the box would lock on the frequency. I’d make a note of it. When back home I’d put that frequency into a search on the FCC licensing service with a location and 99% of time I’d find the matching repeater output frequency. This works because all the frequency’s are in the FCC database they just may not be listed as who really uses them may be under a generic name like local government or other nonsense. of course this is USA only info.

U don't need freq counters today use the ubc125 or other uniden with close calls and many freqs in uksd weren't out of date by publication there's still some from 2009 edition that still in use many of course have but can assure u I 2009 edition I. Purpose added a section about latest changed before publication And also sections on coms at airshows etc, especially riat that still active today Also airshow vhf reserved freqs But no u can't keep fully upto date it's impossible but edition 9 of uksd I. Personally deleted large chunks of freqs and added many new heard at that time

I only used the internet to find out the calls for said station (largely Ham repeaters), but every frequency programmed in my scanner I knew by heart or I manually found, it's more fun that way.

Who would know of the European digital police radio systems and how to hack in and listen in to them today? who is an authority on the digital radio system RAKEL is a system based on a digital standard TETRA "Terrestrial Trunked Radio" which is used within the EU for "blue light systems". The frequency band is 380 to 395 MHz. anyone that know about this and who on KZbin that is great authority on educating in this system? please let me know, is my passion to understand radio networks and smart phone hacking. Am not a criminal, but is passion about this tech and like to learn and understand. thanks!

Serious they never really worried, earlier they did a bit but by time several uk scanning directory came out the old radio communication agency's Baldock monitoring station used scanning directory and my lists as w extras to monitor Was told because there lists aren't always upto date and many using freqs without licence wouod appear in scanning directory and my lists But I never had any issues never told by government to stop publishing freqs in all the years I did it

Sad even governments website listing freqs has a mix of old unused and current licences so even that's not fully accurate, but it's ano5her good resource But close call on uniden especially events and sites is fantastic on scanners, finds the freqs and give the audio, and as said on the digital scanners will decode non encrypted stuff as well Take imperial war Duxford museum, on site vhf air, display teams vhf and uhf coms, the sites own uhf repeaters and non dmr singles as well, you would find modt freqs relative quickly on such a site, and 3ven better if using a dmr scanner Last year Swiss version of red arrows there, stood by tower as guy on ground spoke to them and straight away a new freq for them I hadn't had then checked in on another, close call hit the freqs as being used
