Living in New England, they are heard loud and clear and my curiosity of its location would be a checked off bucket list item! View article »
03-13-26 XTS3000 Programming Hi everyone I’ve gotten good at programming unidens with Freescan and sentinel and want to program my xts3000 as it hasn’t been programmed in years and want to... 03-13-26, 07:16 am Hi everyone I’ve gotten good at programming unidens with Freescan and sentinel and want to program my xts3000 as it hasn’t been programmed in years and want to change some stuff around. I know most people use the Astro Saber & XTS3000 CPS program on a windows XP computer to program their radio but I’m wondering if there’s another software I can use that works the same in a sense as the uniden softwares where you can use the radio reference import to grab local fire departments and other...

03-13-26 80m and 40m issues For some reason these two specific bands I have a great deal of issues with. Specifically 7.2 MHz in 40m, 3.8-3.9 MHz in 80m. The amount of trash, trolling,... 03-13-26, 07:09 am For some reason these two specific bands I have a great deal of issues with. Specifically 7.2 MHz in 40m, 3.8-3.9 MHz in 80m. The amount of trash, trolling, nitpicking, swearing, threatening behavior, name calling, and unprofessional banter is leaving me to reconsider even taking a ham course to get my license. That's how bad it's become on those frequencies. Plus, these are GROWN MEN AND WOMEN, well into their 40s, acting like children with nothing else but to congregate on... Read more View article »

03-13-26 State of Kentucky P25 7/800 Trunked Radio... Found a document where Motorola was pitching adding them to the propose state... 03-13-26, 06:23 am Found a document where Motorola was pitching adding them to the propose state system. https://www.marshallcountyky.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/MotorolaKSPSystemAddProposal04202021.pdf Looks like only adding one county site. Portable coverage looks very poor from the provided maps. If those are correct, the "upgrade" would have worse performance than the current system. Does anyone know if they state has started any site deployment? Document says Motorola claims there will be... Read more View article »
03-13-26 vehicle repeaters A dealer submitting a bid to a county we're working with listed repeaters. I've seen them in a very few rural areas, I think the CHP still uses them. Are they still... 03-13-26, 06:17 am A dealer submitting a bid to a county we're working with listed repeaters. I've seen them in a very few rural areas, I think the CHP still uses them. Are they still common in rural areas? Most of our counties in Indiana are about 20 miles square so we don't see a need for them with a well designed system. thanks View article »
03-13-26 Motorola Sabers not turning on I have six Motorola Sabers all allegedly in UHF that I got off eBay and all but one don’t even attempt to turn on and the one that does turn on makes a distinct hum... 03-13-26, 06:11 am I have six Motorola Sabers all allegedly in UHF that I got off eBay and all but one don’t even attempt to turn on and the one that does turn on makes a distinct hum sound and when turned up makes a choppy hum sound. It will transmit at times but then will make the long TX Inhibit tone. These are the IE Submersible models and not Securenet. I cracked them open and most of them look mint inside except two that have a micro chip cracked one on the “working” Saber and one on the speaker plate of... Read more View article »
