You can't because the military equipment doesn't work that way. Ham radio operators that have scanned military signals say it sounds like a couple of Spanish females talking to one another. The signals are scrambled and translated back into the receiving device. The codes are ever changing, even on the fly.

Check with your local short wave radio supply/repair shop. There are books (one is called Scan Fan) which lists the various frequencies for government agencies.

But in all likelihood, the military, like much of the nation's big city police departments, have moved to a truncated system - meaning that at best you might hear a snippet of a conversation and that's it. With a truncated system, each time a transmission is relayed, the signal is bounced off a different radio tower with a different frequency.

Several police departments moved to this system in the late 80s/early 90s because they were afraid that criminals were monitoring their transmissions. It was a real hinderance to news reporters who often relied on scanners for breaking events.

Just scan the bands.

BTW, you will need to de-code spread spectrum.
