Thun, I merged your existing thread with the new one you created in the Australian forum. Please do not post the same question to multiple forums. This is known as a cross-post and is against the sites rules.

In the future if you want to move your thread to a more appropriate forum, click on the triangle in the top right of your initial post and ask that a moderator move it.

Thanks.

The New South Wales Police use APCO P25, which means you would need a digital scanner, such as a Uniden UBCD396XT.

Unfortunately, I believe they also use encryption, which means they can't be monitored.

The NSW Police Force uses APCO-25 w/encryption (DES-OFB with OTAR) in the Sydney and Greater Sydney Areas. The only analog channel available for listening in Sydney and other nearby areas is the analog liaison channel which can also be heard on the NSWGRN Talkgroup ESO10.
