03-20-26 SDS150: Wish List: Audio AGC Hi All! I'm new to scanning, and a new SDS150 owner. Big learning curve for me - and I'm a ham and a computer programmer...

I've been been listening to my local area for a few weeks now, and notice that different users on the same channel/system have very different volume levels. The 'per channel' volume offset in the SDS150 doesn't help this. I see that this has been discussed here several times over the years for different scanners. I found that the BCD396 has some detailed audio AGC... Read more View article »
03-20-26 BC125AT USB Port I can no longer make connection on my usb port because the cable port doesn’t hold it. It’s very loose.

You can see the metal piece surrounding the port is split. How do you fix it without replacing the circuit board? It runs through batteries really fast. Not being able to plug into my car is a pain. I can’t afford a new scanner. View article »
03-20-26 HAM radio for emergencies Hi, I'm new to the forum, and am looking into HAM radio. I've had a landline telephone (copper wire) for decades.

We no longer answer incoming calls, not ever, because of the volume of spam. We use our cell phones instead. The reason we've kept the landline was the idea that in a catastrophic event (like earthquake, I'm in California) with power and cell towers unavailable, we'd have a shot at using the landline for communication. For various reasons, maintaining the landline may not be... Read more View article »

I am working on a project that might turn into another member's research project if I can do this. 1. Are there any SDRs and associated programs (preferably open source) that can decode conventional P25 that's encrypted with ARC4/ADP? They key would be known and passed to the SDR/program. I am not a noob asking to decode encrypted traffic without a key. This is in a controlled environment. 2. Or, are there any programs I can... Read more View article »

It is dead. The red charging light works when the phone is in the housing; the screen displays information; I had the battery tested at Batteries and Bulbs, and it is fine. The antenna is long gone, but the phone has worked fine without it for years. However, there is no dial tone. One night the phone worked, and the next morning, the line was dead. AI...

The person I bought it from was apparently feed up in trying to operate the scanner because when I got it, there wasn’t any Groups or Data save to it. The users manual reads like a technobabble document which fails to help a novice who bought this type scanner. I sought help on-line and found “Mike’s” easier to read/understand BCD996-XT, but it too doesn’t give a Step by Step tutorial which is desperately needed. Then, I tried the numerous YouTube video‘s... Read more View article »
