It would appear that some arrest/patrol/ERO teams are using Zello on Android while on operations rather than the systems and frequencies they have access to on their APX's. Had a officer I know in Minnesota confirm he had seen the same there. View article »

I have radio central and cps 2.0 The programming is stumping me in regards to things such as contacts. Does it matter if they are "members" or "available"? All radio alias/ids are correct/functioning. But some radios RX/TX some dont and some will only RX but show to be receiving signal, but no audio. The dealers techs arent knowledgable(their own admission) with ION radios. They just referred me to motorola tech support... Read more View article »

02-15-26 Listening to Twin Cities Light Rail & Etc. Hi there, I'm looking to listen to the light rail radio in the Twin Cities and play around with what else I can pick up, but I'm pretty brand new to this sort of radio... 02-15-26, 10:09 am Hi there, I'm looking to listen to the light rail radio in the Twin Cities and play around with what else I can pick up, but I'm pretty brand new to this sort of radio scanning/amateur radio sort of stuff. Unfortunately, it seems like most folks are interested in doing more or less the opposite, picking up other things and blocking the light rail out, so I haven't been able to find a lot of info on it. Consequenses of being the oddball, I guess. Basically, I don't really know what I need to... Read more View article »
02-15-26 NXDN gen-2 trunking telephone interconnect I have a NXDN GEN-2 trunking system with NXR-5800 repeaters. I have a KTI-4 unit connected to a model 30 with NX-3300k2 and k3 portables.

I am able to do individual calls but am having troubles doing group calls. I did some research and what I found was to dial 22 and then the group ID. When I do that, it gives me a quick tone then ends the call. Is there something in KPG-110 that I need to setup to enable group calls? Is it something in the KTI-4 or the radio program?
