Many people today are fantastic appliance operators, someone who knows how to run software, use databases, and push a few buttons to get a result, but are they truly radio scanning enthusiasts? There’s a difference, and it matters. Appliance... Read more View article »

TRI-CITY is a YSF room which the owner of the repeater helped me program, and it works perfectly through my hotspot in DMR2YSF mode. As far as I can tell, I followed the same steps exactly, but I can't get a response from the Parrot or any other DMR entry. I must be leaving something out, but I can't figure out what it is. I tried changing the hotspot from DMR/DMR2YSF to just DMR, but it didn't make any difference. Logically, if I... Read more View article »

04-09-26 How to use SDS100 to find the DMR... I have a SDS100 and I am monitoring a local radio system.

They are on a VHF system with output/receive frequencies between 153-161 Mhz, and have 2 channels per site. The Color Code is the same for each channel, but they use Slot 1 for Channel 1, and Slot 2 for Channel 2. My question is, how can I use the SDS100 to determine the transmit frequency for the radios?I have tried to use the waterfall option, but can't seem to catch the input. I am NOT going to transmit (I am using the scanner... Read more View article »

The complete build-out may include up to four radios (GMRS, VHF/UHF, HF, and scanner), and four antennas on NMO mounts towards the rear of the vehicle. Two radios will be at the front (GMRS and scanner) and two ham radios (50-100W) may be at the back with remote heads in front. This setup will involve coax lines... Read more View article »
