Cheers :)

If the police have anything important to say they use a cellphone

I would agree that there is a bad smell to this. Anyone who "needs to know", such as your local newshound already knows through his or her office.

Try searching between 75.000 to 76.500 and 485.000 to 487.000 in 12.5khz steps.

That is not actually a reason .

Trev gives you good advice but what no one here has bothered to say is that you need to sit down and carefully read the instruction manual that came with your scanner . It is a SCANNER: duh!!! So learn how to scan and eventually you will find whatever frequencies are used in your area .

For some odd reason most scanners will not have the 75 Mhz range and the police only use this as back up / secondary use.

BTW, the Mobile One antennas for sale on the NZ Scanner website are made in Australia and are cut for frequencies in Oz, not NZ. I spoke with the director of Mobile One in Oz and the owner of the NZ Scanner website, about this issue. They acknowledged that I was correct but basically, imho, as long as kiwis continue to buy Mobile One aerials (at Dick Smith's also) there will not be any change. The frequencies are substantially different so Mobile One antennas will definitely under-perform in NZ. There is a bloke in the S Island who makes scanner aerials (Google it) cut for NZ frequencies but his prices are too high.

510468 2007-01-02 19:35:00 Here (homepages.ihug.co.nz) is where i got mine from.
Unfortunately i cant get reception now where i live so have sold my scanner.
listening to the police and fire is great fun but very addicting. You can end up doing it for hours. And Plod's right, if they have anything important to say then they use a cellphone.
