In the last several months, I have been working on a remote head project for my BCD996P2. It uses a Raspberry Pi3 as the compute as well as a 480x320 pixel, 3.5" touchscreen. The Pi and screen are mounted in a compact case and the connection to the scanner is via USB. The remote head is for display and control only -- it does... Read more View article »

Probably a dumb question, but I have been listening to railroad radio for along time trackside, but I only just recently got around to putting a dipole up on my house. I noticed something interesting though, I seem to only hear half of a conversation. I researched this, and I was introduced to duplex radio. Do railroads do this, and does this mean that I need to scan for two frequencies to hear a complete conversation between train crew and dispatcher? Additionally, is this also why...

I was checking on something and realized it had been almost a year since I last updated the SD-Card based scanners in the shack, car and belt. I decided it was also high time to update the Favorites Lists as well; it has been several years since I had really done any updating on them. Here is the background: My main shack is anchored by 4 BCD536HP’s, 2 SDS200’s, a BCD260DN and a BCD996P2. There are another pair of BCD536HP’s in the car and my handhelds include...

I did this as a stop gap until the big players have come up with something. And in true SDR form, here is the setup. I used 2 instances of SDR# (for CC and VC): Both CC and VC have 'TETRA Demodulator plug-in' with 'Network Info' windows open. SDR# VC has 'Net Remote' plug-in to allow custom made program to communicate with SDR# SDR# CC has volume... Read more View article »
