This also makes scan a complete mess as it will stop on a channel when there... Read more View article »

I just started hearing it today. I haven’t updated my talk groups in a bit, so I will try that. https://i.postimg.cc/2ySZmgvL/IMG-4794.jpg The unit calling in is making stops from multiple locations in multiple towns, I suspect it is a training setup for dispatchers. Which would explain why it’s unencrypted. View article »

Once I got the radios programmed and working the way I want I purchased a couple new batteries (not Impress) off Amazon. One of the radios does not like either of these new batteries.

02-09-26 Is this considered professional and is it... So I purchased a truck that came with 3 NMO mounts in the roof.
