WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Does anyone know what after market modifications have been made to the car? I drive a WRX myself and know their handling and performance makes them a pleasure to drive. At 6'2 I find there is enough room in standard road models but I haven't had to wear all equipment police have to. a radio that ha...

As opposed to a detective in uniform...........

Anything from ch10 tonight re a stolen HSV?

You are obviously talking to the wrong people. I agree with BF completely.

If you look at the intended use for the vehicle it fits the role perfectly.

Yep absolutely. I have gone portable to portable from Joondalup Health Campus to Peel Health Campus on a talkgroup so it doesn't matter whereabouts in the network you are as long as your are in the network....... The coverage experienced by the network so far has been greater than expected including...

From the early 90's (edited for political correctness but you get the idea)

VKI: Any vehicle to assist with a group of A***ls wandering on the
freeway.

T621: I've got a roo bar if that helps.



Oh the days before radio id's

I agree with Walks it is sort of sad and definetley the end of an era. Mind you scanning police these days is alot different from the early 90's. In 1993 there were nearly 600 pursuits in Perth. Whilst it is always said that crime is on the "rise" I believe that Perth in the early to mid 9...

Sorry had to be done just to stir the pot, not in a smart arse way though.

And yes I just spoke with Walks he does have a big grin.

Pursuit at moment on 1006, stolen silver Monaro, chased by a traffic car. Last seen the Crescent, Maddington at high speed.

Some of us can still listen..........

oh...and the GPS for handhelds (addon) ...so they can keep track of Police walking the beat. Big Brother :P Bout to be trialed in Freo VKI this is Foot Patrol, request toilet break.. Roger, if you take the next left and follow the path to the public toilets :| I dont want get into a slanging match ...

The way around listing to the cops is buy a motorola xts3000 S 3 mine cost me $675 from the states and i can hear them all,at $675 its cheaper than the digital scanners that dont work :lol: Well that was a waste of $675. Yes they maybe the portables WAPOL use but without the encryption key they are...

That's right Mr G.

Digital - No analogue patch = no police scanning.

Make the most of it while you can guys.

There are issues with the analogue patch which normally they try and fix asap. In this case seeing the patch will be pulled in just over a week they will just let it run as the cost can't really be justified.

It is just a term "Crime Car". In the districts each detectives office takes it in turn to do the crime car on afternoon shift and dayshift weekends. This car is responsible for dealing with a serious crime in the district and then hand it over to the relevant detectives office.
