They've asked me to construct an analog/NXDN patch out of two icom IC-F 6061's so we can patch in the last few analog handhelds we have prior to replacing them all at the end of the fiscal year. I've read this post as well as the service manuals for the 6061's, including the instructions for changing "coffee bean" settings but am still drawing a blank as far as getting audio to pass from...

Under the P25 RX settings the mode is set to "D", NAC is set properly; SQL set to "N", MONI set to "Disable". In the P25 Function, set for a TGID of "1". Radio will not pass audio, though I can see that a signal is being received on the screen and because the green light flashes. And I can receive the traffic just fine on my Unication G5.

When they assemble a military HMMWV, they paint all the aluminum body pieces before they assemble it, so the body itself is not a ground like in a regular vehicle. - The stud-mount is on an antenna riser and there is no continuity between the antenna side and the mount. - The underside...

I was updating my Uniden BCD996P2 firmware using ProScan when a sudden power outage occurred. Now, the scanner is "bricked" and stuck in a bootloop/bootloader state. Current Symptoms: When powered on, the screen only shows: "Copyright 2015 Uniden America Corp. All Rights Reserved". The scanner does not respond to the Power/Volume knob (I have to unplug it to turn it off). The PC recognizes the device in... Read more View article »
