02-06-26 Do most people carry their HT everywhere, or... I often leave a handheld radio sitting on a desk or charger most of the day and end up missing traffic when I’m in another room.

I’ve noticed this comes up not just with casual listening, but also when people are using radios more as a coordination or monitoring tool (events, team activities, emergency/weather monitoring, etc.). I’m curious how common this actually is — do others wish their handhelds were more “ambient” around the house (hear traffic anywhere, talk back if needed), or do... Read more View article »

It's a loaded base, but I'm quite impressed with its performance overall. My current model: 760-870 MHz Mobile Antenna 3dB 5/8 Wave Laird TE Technologies B7603 (700 MHz) Any thoughts how it would compare to the Larsen LPT700/800NMO? It's only 3.25" high and it'd be nearly invisible on my vehicle. Just curious if anyone has tested this model yet? Here's... Read more View article »

The temporary licenses for the NFL were already discussed here: Superbowl LX - STA License Today there seems to be a practice intercept with BIGFOOT and the Civil Air Patrol.

More specifically Long Island/ NYC areas, but anything regional including NY, CT, MA, NH is ideal. I have the software and cable, but since the published stuff out there has a lot of wrong info, thought it would be easier to start with a semi current template.
