I stopped one day and looked from the car. It appears to be a 2 meter(?) loaded antenna at the top of 30' mast, and I could see ladder line coming down from some tree branches. Today curiosity got the better of me and I stopped by to knock on the door. Before I even got to the door a woman came outside and I said hello. I introduced... Read more View article »

TRI-CITY is a YSF room which the owner of the repeater helped me program, and it works perfectly through my hotspot in DMR2YSF mode. As far as I can tell, I followed the same steps exactly, but I can't get a response from the Parrot or any other DMR entry. I must be leaving something out, but I can't figure out what it is. I tried changing the hotspot from DMR/DMR2YSF to just DMR, but it didn't make any difference. Logically, if I... Read more View article »

I thought they were exaggerating until I got up and walked 20 feet to the living room. Wow! the sound was clear and LOUD. I walked back to source and the same volume sounded way lower. I can't explain the physics or reason on why I have a hard time hearing it 2 feet away but it is very loud 20 feet away at the same volume. View article »

Today when I was monitoring local law enforcement I heard a State Trooper tell dispatch he was going to "Troop F talkgroup". That suggested he was going into a trunked system, if I understand correctly. As best I can tell from RadioReference and other research, Troop F is not trunked. Any thoughts on the transmission would be much appreciated as I... Read more View article »
