I also apologize if this topic has been discussed somewhere already, as I couldn't find it in a forums search. Even as a ham operator, I like to use Zello and other "radio" communications on occasion. I recently came across this company - Rapid Radios. These are cell based, push to talk radios. According to the website and email customer service, they are encrypted (sure...) and work when most other cell... Read more View article »

I noticed Hamilton is not a neighbour with the Cambridge site. Is there still a site there or should it be removed? Another thing there are no RID's showing up as the source, every source is listed as "EXTERNAL". Matt View article »

Do you have an old crystal scanner that doesn't pick up anything anymore? Wanna give this radio a new purpose? This isn't a new concept but it was to me originally when I learned about and experimented with it last year. For years I wondered, "what is the best way to repurpose an old crystal scanner?"

When a user initiates an Emergency Call, the radios that are set to receive EC's are not emitting an audible tone to bring the user's attention to the call. We'd also like to use the LED bar to indicate when radios are in the EC mode. Does anyone know if these options are even available in this model? View article »
