While this site is a new build, it replaces a site we lost access to a number years ago, and definitely fills a portable coverage hole in our city. This is in a retired ATC tower that is being kept for historical purposes. This room held the ATC radios at one time and now holds our VHF drop repeater. The front of our rack, locked up and the Ops crew... Read more View article »

No, it appears that all of the Walmart stores in Las Vegas are now also digital radios, and the call buttons at all of the lock ups are transmitting digital audio. Not sure what frequency these are on, or what modulation method or if they use frequency hopping. Just from a cursory glance, it appears that they are using the 900 MHz frequency hopping Motorola product. View article »

No issues with a 7550 programmed the same. Any setting or audio profile section that needs to be changed from the default to unmute this? Want to hear the actual 2 tone and single tones when pages come over but for whatever reason this R7 is muting that section of every page and no clue why. Never ran into... Read more View article »

I was able to successfully update Sentinel, update the DB, and fully overwrite one scanner w/o issue as I've done many times before. I Powered down that scanner and plugged the other into the same cable. Sentinel acted as I expected but I am now not 100% certain that it updated the ESN of the connected scanner (still thinking earlier scanner is connected?). After a couple of minutes the update failed. Now NO ESN is... Read more View article »
