01-31-26 APX to XL 200 Migration (CPS to RPM2) I am new to the radio world, but catching on to how it all works. I have a lot to learn, please be gentle with me!!!

We are implementing some L3 Harris XL 200 radios into our environment.

The thread I found here was from 2019 and I would guess there have been... Read more View article »

It typically goes “(base ops callsign) this is (callsign##), we are mustang, alpha one…” then gives other instructions like fuel order and such. I was curious as to what the “mustang” means.

It's a Capacity Plus system. Active... Read more View article »
01-31-26 Local MURS Activity I've been monitoring MURS activity in my area (West NJ) just out of curiosity and haven't come up with any comms. Perhaps it's because of the low wattage the HT's use?... 01-31-26, 09:29 am I've been monitoring MURS activity in my area (West NJ) just out of curiosity and haven't come up with any comms. Perhaps it's because of the low wattage the HT's use? My antenna is a ham 2m/440 MHz antenna mounted on the roof and am using an SDR dongle. Wondering how MURS actiity is in other areas? Thanks.
