476.625 MHz is UHF CB Channel 9, so there could be numerous other users on the frequency.

Now that you know the frequency, put that in your scanner and run a tone scan. Almost certain that they are using either CTCSS or DCS, especially since its a UHF CB channel. Once you know the tone program that as well, and that should cut out some interference.

Think I may know where he is. I've picked up his transmission on closecall and spotted an antenna nearby.

Its interesting, I heard 2-3 from under your crane, there's a few job sites around the eastern suburbs. I caught about 1/2 dozen at Macquarie Park yesterday from the roof of the shopping centre.
