Then you've probably realised if you clicked that previous link, that you cannot listen to the WA Police in Perth.

You can listen to some country stuff, generally if you're in country locations, but that's about all. And even then, there'll come a time when you can't even do that most likely, once the digital network extends to those places and they switch over.
