Welcome to the forum, your best chance of catching them is the Close Call feature on that scanner, searching the ACMA database doesnt show up too much, they could also be simply using CB frequency with a subtone, somewhere around 476-477mhz!

Thanks for your reply matthewn1983
Still getting around my scanner and to be honest not really sure what the subtone is ? Is the 476-477 MHz like a custom search ? Thanks again

Use close call on the uniden and you will get a hit pretty quickly.
