Gday Tony I have never got intrested in listenning to the Police but I do take an intrest in listenning to ambulance ,buses,cfa,marine,trams and i do have more readios and antennas and in fact i am thinking of getting the AOR-ALPHA and by the way my reception on the vhf bands is long distance i could hear aircraft in the northern teeritory on a full signal strength on the flight watch frequencies with my custom made airband antennas which the civil aviation authorities in australia and world wide use from Polar & Rfi and they are very well known these australian companies.

Gday Tony I have noticed in the past few months at Melbourne airport that seems to be a lot of police presence and australian protective services patrolling around the perimiter of the airport and where plane spotters usually go and a lot of people that i have spoken to say its a good idea and they always look at me with the amount of gear that i take with me and they always have a friendly chat and below is a list off all the gear that i took with me on sunday afternoon. AOR-8200MK3,AOR-8600MK2,ICOM-R20,UNIDEN-396,YAESU-VX7R,PANASONIC-FZ50 10.5 MEGAPIXELS WITH AN EXTENDED LENS. Regards L

Hell there is alsoa few places in Australia where you can buy Discones of the Internet and these are the ones I use and I will put them in order for best results ICOM-AH7000 is an Excellent Discone for around 250 bucks & you also get 50 feet of good quality low loss cable from Japan COMET-DS3000 is a good Discone but to receive good Signals you have to mount it very high because its half the size of the ICOM and thats the only way you can get good signals DIAMOND-D150 is a similar Discone to the COMET and it also has to be Mounted High.
