The callsign WRMZ587 is also licensed for 470.6875, 478.5125, and 478.5375. I am receiving a Tier III control channel on 478.5125, also a strong signal. The FCC shows no other licensees for 478.5125 that I would be able to receive. There is almost no traffic, mostly private data calls. The site is L6-17.3 with DCC = 1. Channel number is 3870 and so far only the control... Read more View article »

01-13-26 Poplar Bluff encrypted now? After a search, it came up that a lot is encrypted now. I wondered why I haven't heard any transmissions for the last few hours. Just bought a new SDS150 too! 01-13-26, 21:11 pm After a search, it came up that a lot is encrypted now. I wondered why I haven't heard any transmissions for the last few hours.

I assume that the VP8000 is similar using a membrane switch stuck to chassis. On APX I had to buy a chassis to get the switch which had the switch been available as a separate part I could have peeled off the old one and stuck on the new and been spared transferring all the guts to a new chassis! Basically if I need to replace how hard to do and if best done by dealer. View article »

I’ve noticed this comes up not just with casual listening, but also when people are using radios more as a coordination or monitoring tool (events, team activities, emergency/weather monitoring, etc.). I’m curious how common this actually is — do others wish their handhelds were more “ambient” around the house (hear traffic anywhere, talk back if needed), or do... Read more View article »
