Filtering to only show patch calls does not display... Read more View article »

I have racked my brain trying to think of some sort of compact directional high gain antenna that she could use in her apartment to get into the repeater reliably. Many many thanks in advance for any... Read more View article »

I have my scanner (Uniden SDS100) working to receive without issues. However on the Anytone Radio, I'm getting weird results. Voice traffic comes in, and I can hear it all as long as there is a gap in the conversation. If there is immediate key up on a reply from someone however, the... Read more View article »

I downloaded the SW and FW from the KFDshield github and the software sees the shield just fine. The self test passes but the detect MR test and... Read more View article »
