01-30-26 Travis County ESD 13 I know that ESD 13 raises taxes and pays Bastrop County EDS1 for fire and first response services.

Lately I've been hearing 13xx units being dispatched on AFD TG 1162 which is County Locution for the ESDs when the call is on the Travis County side of the BC ESD1 area. Does anyone know if those units were recently put in service, there was a call sign change, or if I've just missed hearing them for the past two or so years? I haven't heard them on any of the Bastrop TGs as of yet. Do... Read more View article »

My name is Marius, I am a volunteer firefighter in France but I am originally from Germany. Also I am a radio amateur, mostly using older Motorola stuff on the VHF and UHF bands such as GM/GP900, MT2100 or the newer DM/DP4601 (guess in the US there are other names for the same radio) series for DMR operation. I recently got my hands on a MX1000 UHF (European version of the Saber I) in really nice condition... Read more View article »

On the left panel when looking at the Systems column when I right click to, "Sort by Quick Key" it does sort, but then I lose the plus sign next to the system and cannot display any groups or frequencies anymore. All it shows is the folder of the system and when you click on it, nothing works. The plus sign and groups, sites seem to work on the trunked... 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. I heard the C.A.P. on their 148.1500 MHz repeater and intercept fighters were on 282.6 and 271.0 MHz. I was monitoring near Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. - Chris View article »
01-30-26 Good cheap radios for DMR that work I'm wanting to build up my collection of DMR handhelds I only need a couple more just so I've got a good selection.

After buying the problematic Boafeng DR-1801UV its really put me off buying anymore DMR handhelds but I know I can't give up on my DMR dream because of one problematic radio. I guess its a question of live and learn when buying such radios. I've been interested in the Boafeng DM1701 I know a few people have those radios but I'm just wondering if I should expect to have issues... Read more View article »
