10-28-25 I'm Really HATING This Forum (Yes, I'm Serious) More than anything, I despise how the encryption SIMPS get to say everything they want.

But, if you talk bad about it, then at best, you'll get your post removed. At worst, you'll get your account terminated. Absolutely ridiculous, and I've had enough. And if anyone reacts to this post with a laughing, dislike, etc, SCREW YOU and I question how you sleep at night. View article »

It’s a dark-theme, portrait-mode KiwiSDR app for Android. Instead of running in the browser, my app processes the KiwiSDR stream locally on your phone. With no official KiwiSDR protocol documentation available, I relied on example Python code and reverse-engineered browser clients to piece together how the protocol operates. Features: • Connects to the public shared KiwiSDR... Read more View article »
10-28-25 Dual band 10 meter/11 meter base antenna? Is there a vertical omnidirectional base antenna with good performance on both the 10m and 11m bands? It seems likely, since the bands are so close together, but I can't... 10-28-25, 05:14 am Is there a vertical omnidirectional base antenna with good performance on both the 10m and 11m bands? It seems likely, since the bands are so close together, but I can't find one advertised as such and a Google search turned out to be more confusing than informative. Edited to add: Okay, right after I posted, I found this Moonraker. Any feedback on it? Are there others? View article »
10-28-25 anyone having new LMR400 problems? I got a 60' cut from Talley, my standard test is to put on a connector and do a DTF to make sure I got all I paid for. For some reason I put a connector on both ends and... 10-28-25, 04:58 am I got a 60' cut from Talley, my standard test is to put on a connector and do a DTF to make sure I got all I paid for. For some reason I put a connector on both ends and ran a test, there is a fault at 15' or 45' depending on which end I test from. This return loss looks crappy too, not the smooth sine wave I expect to see. I was talking to a service manager a few minutes ago, he said his guys ran into the same issue on a PD station roof. The installed 4 antennas and the last run of LMR400... Read more View article »

10-28-25 More sensitivity and selectivity? Is the BCD396XT more sensitive and selective (on 800mhz) or is it just me?

I bought a BCD396XT off eBay a while back because I thought it was a really cool scanner, despite being outdated. Luckily, the majority of our state is still on phase 1. After I've bought it, I started using it as my main portable. It's smaller, has a brighter and more colorful backlight, and seems to be sensitive like my bc125at, as well as being less prone to simulcast distortion than my bcd325p2. I'm not sure if...

10-28-25 Issues picking up local city So I just got my BCD996P2 today, I used Proscan to import all the databases from Norfolk and Hampton but some reason I can only get Hampton and not Norfolk. Hampton... 10-28-25, 04:36 am So I just got my BCD996P2 today, I used Proscan to import all the databases from Norfolk and Hampton but some reason I can only get Hampton and not Norfolk. Hampton seems to just use analog for fire but if I recall correctly I saw it pickup Hampton University Police which I think uses the P25 stuff (don’t know the exact term). My question is why would I not be able to pickup Norfolk Public Safety if I can get Hampton? Could I just be over my head and it just being a reception issue or could... Read more View article »
