Today I tried for this weeks update but it still says no DB update available. The is the orange icon version of Sentinel for the HP1 & 2 models. Still not a big deal but figured I'd report it for others. The x36/SDS DB updates did update, both last week and today, without issue. Thanks View article »
01-26-26 Repeater questions Our local fire department has three repeaters. They're all Motorola Quantars. They are in 3 different locations to cover our service area.

They're currently programmed so that the repeater output is all the same with matching DPL's. They all have the same input freqs BUT have different DPL's based on the area we are in. I asked our county radio shop and he said that it's fine how it is. I, however, disagree. We have highspeed fiber internet running to all the locations where the repeaters... Read more View article »

From what I have experienced, I now only use the OEM antenna since I have not been able to significantly improve reception with anything else. For those that have had the pin pushed in, was it very noticeable? I did not measure the pin length when it was new, but right now it is 2 mm long. Sometimes when I measure I get 1.97 mm. Those measurements are within spec for SMA male connectors... Read more View article »
01-26-26 RV Camper Vertical Dipole Am trying to find an inexpensive “mobile” local comms CB antenna setups for some of my neighbors.

While there are those who come and go, some of us are longer-term residents (RV Park). We utilize a cellphone group chat (term?), but that’s rather impersonal. And service dependent. CB is seen as desirable. RV Channel 14 Kick Start I’ve helped with one pickup truck to get him prepped for better radio/antenna — have another waiting — but it’s the composite-body camper vehicles have me...

It's definitely public works as they do mention county properties for some of their traffic. It's something to keep an eye before I send a submission as I thought they were only conventional frequencies... Read more View article »
