After changing target model I plugged my sds100 into the same cable I used for the 436 and it can't find the radio. Thought maybe an sd card problem so put it aside and went to my 150, changed target, plugged usb a to c data cable in (no native usb-c port) and it can't find that radio either. I doubt the 150 has a... Read more View article »

I turn it on and it scans but is not doing a good job of picking up any traffic. I have selected the WX and I can hear the NWS very clear. I'm sure there are probably a lot of changes in frequency settings since the last time I programmed the scanner. 1. What software do I need to download? 2. What programming cable do I need? (because the one I had grew legs and ran off somewhere) 3, Is anyone willing to give me help... Read more View article »
04-15-26 Bad IF filters on Kenwood LMR products? In the 2007-2009 time frame, several Kenwood amateur radios were produced with IF filters that developed problems over time.

The Kenwood TM-D710 was somewhat infamous for this. Did Kenwood use those same filters in their LMR products? Specifically, I'm watching the used market for a TK-8180. Some of the ones I've seen for sale were, based on their serial number, produced in the "bad IF filter" window. Should I be concerned? View article »

The example I will use is for a BLM National Forest Service frequency in my area. I can hear them quite clearly when they're broadcasting. Once the transmission is over, the squelch does not activate and I have to manually force the scanner to "move along". When the scanner circles back to the frequency, it does not stop (unless...
