Now I have the problem that I always get the error “No RTL SDR found,” even though I have an Airspy connected (the Airspy dll file is also included in the DSD directory). In addition, I only see “Audio output devices” in the Windows command prompt and no “Audio input devices.” These were previously available in DSD+. I'm afraid I've messed something up or that I might be missing one or more files. I have attached a screenshot... Read more View article »

Link all analog repeaters together so that they have activity on them, this way they'll be UK wide and with internet links they'll also be world wide rather than repeaters sitting forever dead like many of them here. Surely it must cost money to keep these old disused analog repeaters going. Simplex... have more events like 145 Alive to encourage simplex activity, we need... Read more View article »

01-14-26 "S" on the menu screen My menu screen on my TRX-2 shows a "S" instead of a "T" when scanning at times. Radio is truck mounted.

My scanner is only scanning trunked systems on Ohio MARCS. When the "S" is present the radio is silent. I have brought along my SDS100 to listen also and it will pick up transmissions when this "S" is displayed on the menu screen. If the "T" is present the radio will receive. The SDS does out perform the TRX-2. And yes only two counites in my area are simulcast and they are about 20 miles... Read more View article »
01-14-26 US Wildland Fire Authority While listening to the news Friday evening, I heard that the OCFA Chief is leaving to head the new U.S. Wildland Fire Authority. I haven’t been able to find much... 01-14-26, 04:23 am While listening to the news Friday evening, I heard that the OCFA Chief is leaving to head the new U.S. Wildland Fire Authority. I haven’t been able to find much information on it yet, other than it appears to fall under the USDA. The story mentioned this in the context of OCFA not renewing the Chinook multi-county resource. I’m curious whether this new authority will supplement existing Type 1 and Type 2 incident management teams, or if it’s intended to replace them—purely speculation on... Read more View article »

Both are in very nice condition aside from a couple of scratches on the display. The seller said he had his radios in a plastic bag in a drawer for years. They both work great but have a horrible smell that gives me a headache. My wife thinks they have an air freshener smell but to me it smells like a cheap cologne like “Stetson. I tried cleaning the radios with alcohol but this didn’t seem to make a... Read more View article »
