Reminded me of my days working avionics in Hueys back in the sixties. About sundown vhf low skip would start, and I would listen to California state troopers for an hour or so.

I have several XTL 1500, 2500, 5000 series that are missing some ADP encrypted transmissions, especially worse while scanning. There has to be something I'm missing unless the tuning on these radios are so far off.... The programming is the same as several other XTL series radios that seem to work fine.

I was parked up in Joppatowne MD listening to my old Lafayette HE-20C when a local police officer walked by. Someone on the radio yelled, "Hey Wop Cop" and the officer turned and gave me a dirty look. I had a hard time convincing him that it was the radio and not me. There was a Baltimore City officer who worked radar. I saw him doing his job many times. When I heard him on... Read more View article »
