I configured the scanlist to monitor all fire, EMS, and law groups. I seem to be receiving police transmissions, but not Fire/EMS. I am monitoring side by side with my old analog scanner. There have been several dispatches on the analog scanner that I am not receiving on the TRX-1. Likely, I have something set up or configured incorrectly, but any... Read more View article »

Then I noticed the rssi was -115dbm with or without the antenna. I don't think it's hitting the pin but might be wrong. The radio was built in 2024. I bought a remtronix 920s will this make it work? I don't want a 500 dollar scanner with a paperclip sticking out forever! Just for reference my uniden bcd325p2 worked right out of the... Read more View article »
02-22-26 NAS scan configuration I know that NAS discussion is generally not permitted so I hope I am not crossing any lines by posting this… I have an XTS2500 and a Unication G5 programmed to the... 02-22-26, 12:42 pm I know that NAS discussion is generally not permitted so I hope I am not crossing any lines by posting this… I have an XTS2500 and a Unication G5 programmed to the same system (Phase 1). Side by side, my G5 appears to pick up all transmissions, while the XTS2500 seems to miss the start of a lot of communications and actually not receive some communications at all. Both devices are programmed with only the CC’s and backup CC’s, so there is no unnecessary frequencies programmed. The only... Read more View article »
02-22-26 SDS200 w/bluetooth speakers I am planning to purchase a SDS 200. I live in Shed/house with steel external and Interior skins. I plan to use an external antenna on my roof peak. I want to be able... 02-22-26, 12:38 pm I am planning to purchase a SDS 200. I live in Shed/house with steel external and Interior skins. I plan to use an external antenna on my roof peak. I want to be able to hear the scanner in the apartment portion of the building as well as the shop part of the building. I am leaning toward a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into the Aux port on the SDS 200. I believe this disables the built in speaker on the scanner; thus, I need a Bluetooth system that connects to 2 or more Bluetooth... Read more View article »

In this file you will find various digital and conventional frequencies and systems. They have been put together in a way to easily be able to scan everything in this list. For many of the systems, they have not been heard by me or anyone. I've been scouring the tafl list for frequencies and systems in the Ottawa area in hopes that someone will be able to confirm this information and put it into the... Read more View article »
