My interest in ham radio is with APRS and location tracking as well as data but also "simplex" communication - radio to radio (similar to a licensed or unlicensed walkie talkie) Though currently I will probably be communicated through my local clubs repeater, the distance is around 2-3km in a built up city. I probably want to play around with digital too and have been looking at XLX server to use as... Read more View article »

This purchase was just for fun. Mainly to use on civil/military aircraft bands, rail, etc. That being said, I am now looking around for a back-of-the-set telescopic antenna for VHF/UHF. I HATE adapters. Any recommendations? View article »
03-23-26 Missing DMR T3 Departments Between RR Database... Unsure where to best put this. Is it a database issue? Or a Uniden Sentinel issue? I am trying to add this DMR Tier 3 Capacity Max system to my favourites list via... 03-23-26, 18:51 pm Unsure where to best put this. Is it a database issue? Or a Uniden Sentinel issue? I am trying to add this DMR Tier 3 Capacity Max system to my favourites list via Sentinel. The database in Sentinel is up to date, however, the data only includes 3 of the 5 departments listed in the RR database. The departments for "Cambridge" and "Brant" are not included in the Sentinel transfer. Grand River Conservation Authority, Wellington County Departments and Wellington County Fire transfer in...

03-23-26 Going to give a Uniden HP-2 a try I am a Las Vegas resident and I just ordered an HP-2 in an attempt to try my hand at digital scanning.

I am a long time analog scanner enthusiast but don't really know too much about the digital world. I do know that most of the public safety functions in Clark County are encrypted so those are a lost cause but am hoping that I can pick up the SNACC system and / or some digital activities at Nellis. We will see how the simulcast element works out at my home location. If you have any... Read more View article »

I'm running two scanners off my desktop via proscan. The IP website I've created for both are working but when I go into the remote scanner over ip tap in proscan, I put my IP address in and the port number, hit start, along with client selected. It tries to connect and always comes up with a code 1 issue. Like I said, the IP address websites work still... Read more View article »

I just heard the radio transmissions on the news right before the crash and was amazed to hear ATC speaking with FDNY over the radio. Does FDNY really have separate AM two way radios to communicate with ATC at the airports? View article »
