Is it possible, or wise, to buy an actual handheld railroad radio for railfan use? Are they even sold to hobbyists? I would want a way to disable the PTT button because I wouldn't want to accidentally hit it and cause issues. I know the BNSF uses ICOM radios here in Iowa.

I have checked, unplugged and replugged all of the connections. Anyone have any thoughts on some other troubleshooting?

The temporary licenses for the NFL were already discussed here: Superbowl LX - STA License Today there seems to be a practice intercept with BIGFOOT and the Civil Air Patrol.

I was also curious about the Sheraton Hotel. I stayed there recently and didn't see any staff around that was using radios. I also did a quick TAFL search and it looks like they have some frequencies lisenced to them but I never heard any activity. Thank you View article »

In my travels, I have noticed that many big box and retail chains are using the same frequency and DCS/CTCSS tone for each retailer or chain. While some are used provincewide, others appear to be used solely in the GTA. Is it possible to have these submitted to the database as an Provincewide agency? Thank you, View article »
