At the start of each forum is a set of stickies - some of them will have the info you need. Try
this for instance.

The Uniden uh044dp is a CB radio. You wont get the police with that!

Google the models that are on there. Look around this site and see what the members are using. Try looking under the scanners and recievers section.

Possibly - why the big interest in listening to police communications? Whats your background?

Are you in Perth or rural? soon you won't hear much police chat in the Metro area

You can listen to the Perth online scanner - there is a link in the forums here somewhere

You can hear the Bunbury police but not with your UHF CB. The only use for that is going on Channel 2 repeater and talking to other people.
