My SDS200 usually gets full signal from West Orange, but the last 2 days it’s showing barely any signal at all. I’m getting better reception from Passaic simulcast. My agency issued APX4000 is also showing the same result. Several local agencies are also having some issues. Just curious if anything is going on. View article »

I have had no problems programming the repeaters but I cant seem to get the CB channels in every time I add one it changes the Frequencies E.G. Channel 1 for UK CB is 27.60125 MHz it lets me add it then changes it to 27.6000MHz I have tried changing the steps but had no luck. How do I add UK CB Channels. Any help would be of great use.

02-04-26 DSDPlus Setup Might have bit off a little more than I can chew with this one.

End goal: see if I am close enough to monitor Kentucky State Police Currently: Running 2 RTLs on SDRTrunk, works perfectly. So, I've taken my stream down trying to play with DSDPlus today, free version since FastLane is full now. So I've downloaded the KY.csv and placed them in my DSD fold and changed FMP24.cfg to reference those, so running FMP24 I hear noise and it scans the freq in my radius I put in. Now for the...

Additionally, looks like the Atheltic Centre, Shuttle, and Building patrol TG's are showing clear on DSD+ but pretty garbled on my 536. I have the feeling they have enabled privacy on all TG's. DSD+ May be showing a false decode. If someone else could confirm that would be great! View article »
02-04-26 MODAT signaling on GMRS repeater Not sharing exact location but I know of a GMRS repeater owner in the southeast who has figured out to effectively lockout unauthorized users from their GMRS repeater... 02-04-26, 04:59 am Not sharing exact location but I know of a GMRS repeater owner in the southeast who has figured out to effectively lockout unauthorized users from their GMRS repeater using old surplus equipment. The owner is using a Motorola MICOR repeater and MODAT signaling. The repeater is programed to only transmit if it receives MODAT signaling from a mobile unit and ignores all other traffic, tones, and signaling types. The owner sells Motorola XTS3000;s with MODAT signaling installed and allows... Read more View article »

My set-up consists of four (4) RTL-2832's (Nooelec RTL-SDR v5) connected to a D-link powered USB hub that is connected to the PC. Set-up has been running somewhat similar since early 2025 but originally with only 2 SDR's with the 3rd and 4th added late last summer. For the most part, the system has been running great although the USB ports seem a little touchy in that if the dongles shift... Read more View article »
