175 to 199 is allocated to anti-theft investigations. Actual number is a local decision. Some have 175, others 185 etc. eg Midcoast 185 is based out of Port Macquarie

Access to old notes.
A lot of the callsigns have not changed since Commissioner Ryan took over in the late 90s.
This is confirmed by what we can hear in the areas not encrypted (yet)
Even the greater metro radio channels are largely the same since 2008 .... Minor changes here and there but by and large the same.
The acma database and monitoring confirm this

As i said a lot of scanning is incremental knowledge, built up over a period of time.
The folk here on this forum would rather teach people how to fish, so to speak, than just give you a bucket load of fish.
A lot of scanning knowledge is just sheer hard detective work and patient monitoring.
Most enquiries need to start from the acma database, understand how transmit and receive frequencies work etc.

Probably talking in riddles i suppose, but i think what i am saying is by and large the way forward.

Fair enough if I knew how to use the program free scan it would be easier but listening to variety as well helps as well it's awesome when I come to Sydney it goes nuts but I live on the central coast and its limited

From Police Media today..

Police radio transmissions to be encrypted in Northern Region

Wednesday, 12 August 2015 08:30:49 AM

Police radio transmissions will soon be encrypted in parts of the state’s north under new arrangements aimed at improving officer safety in the region.

The encryption process, which is expected to go-live mid-September, will affect digital radio across Central Hunter, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Manning Great Lakes Local Area Commands.

This follows the successful encryption of police digital radios across all commands in the Sydney metropolitan region, Newcastle and Wollongong seven years ago.

Northern Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Jeff Loy, said the strategy represents an important step forward in ensuring the safety of police.

“Criminals will no longer be able to listen in on police radio transmissions to track emergency responses, which means we’re eliminating a significant risk to officer safety,” Assistant Commissioner Loy said.

“Policing can be a highly challenging and dangerous job and we’ll continue to develop and implement strategies that make their role as safe as possible.

“Encrypting radio transmissions not only means protecting our officers but also helping them solve and prevent crime,” Assistant Commissioner Loy said.

The change will also affect local media organisations as they’ll no longer have access to monitor police radio via scanners in newsrooms and vehicles.

“We will continue to assist media in the vital role they play in communicating information to the public that helps tackle crime,” Assistant Commissioner Loy said.

“To maintain this connection, we’ve developed the Police External Agencies Transfer System (PEATS), an internet feed that’s proved effective for a number of years in providing information on police activity, in place of radio transmissions.

“In addition, we’ll work with affected media organisations to ensure the new measures allow opportunities to attend operations of public significance,” Assistant Commissioner Loy said.

I will be up in port macquarie friday morning to monday evening with the tapped 796 plus dsd
I will be having a final monitor of november as well as listening to oscar
Usually papa gets patched in to oscar overnight

Those frequency changes would have been the 458.850 vote 21 Central Hunter I posted on the previous page of this thread
NAC change would have been 526 to 61F for the same area

I am up here in Port Macquarie (on my last day), furiously logging all and sundry on November, Oscar and Papa.

We need folk further north that can comment on my previous list, so I can update it.
The sites are as per ACMA listing
It seems from reports from others on another forum that all analog has been switched off throughout OSCAR and PAPA ...I could hear the Ballina analog site from a high coastal location in Port Macquarie earlier in the year but it is now switched off
The digital wobbles continue around Kempsey and Macksville ....
Apart from a few sites in PAPA showing "1" around Ballina, Lismore, Casino and Benalbo the rest of the Northern Rivers Group appears to be more or less linked up ... RIDS visible
All cars are transmitting in digital
