A lot more is going on, but I rearranged my power for my radios and now my SDS200 causes a "pop" noise via my mini-mixer every 3 minutes and 50 seconds...but only if the mixer is powered off. The audio for the SDS doesn't go trough the mixer so that's not a cause. The mixer is wired to a BT transmitter and obviously turning off the BT stops the pop since the sound goes no where at that point. Both the mixer and SDS... Read more View article »

Recently got a SDS100 a few days ago and tried out the ZIP Code scanning features then made my own favorites list in the Sentinel Software after downloading it. Since then, I've noticed audio cuts, distribution and distortion on top of a few other issues. My filters are set on AUTO but tried turning them OFF and tried the NORMAL setting. My ATT is off and stays off unless I go into Clinton (Vermillion County IN) where the site tower is. Any ideas on... Read more View article »
04-06-26 Charleston County changes? I was recently in the Charleston area for a few hours and didn't hear a peep out of Charleston County FD/EMS Dispatch channel? Are they still using it?

Is it encrypted now? I only had a unication and no scanner with me so couldn't do much to figure it out. Nothing changed with my programming so I am worried it's one of the two options I suggested. Can anyone in the area confirm? View article »
04-06-26 Where do I begin with setting this up properly So, I decided to get into CB's looking for something to do and now I'm pretty sure I've screwed most of it up.

First off, I live in a townhouse with an HOA that has pretty specific rules, so to circumvent those I did this: I bought a Courier Centurion PLL with AM-USB and LSB (base station type). For an antenna I ran a new 15ft RG58 and connected that to the antenna wire (because the antenna wire was not long enough to where the radio is at in my basement). my antenna is a mag mount 2ft tall...

I’m trying to connect my Wouxun KG-UV980P to my Rugged Radio 696 intercom and need to make my own RJ45 connection to go from the intercom to the radio’s microphone 8 pin Cat socket. I ordered a “Universal Radio Jumper Kit from Rugged Radio” and will have to crimp the wires onto the connector, in the proper color order. I took a... Read more View article »

It has two wires, red and white. Not wanting to assume red is positive and white is negative (and maybe reverse polarity and fry the GPS) can anyone verify which is which? Uniden does not offer a direct replacement for the plug and buying a complete new GPS rig for $100 is BS. Thoughts please! View article »
