Scanning the Sydney Cricket Ground

The Sydney Cricket Ground Trust uses a 800MHz Trunking Network for their communication needs. On match days, their radios are abuzz with chatter from the control room to security guards. Catering, cleaning, medical, promotional and maintenance teams can also be heard.

The following frequencies make up the trunking system that is used off the Governor Philip Tower site
