My RX is Bristol County, MA (About 25 miles south of Boston). Using a BCD996P2 with @ProScan software. On a very old Radio Shack dipole that is missing part of the top half. But I still get some doozy logs. View article »

I have used Butel Arc XT Pro to program Chickasaw Personal Communications Edmond and Choctaw sites and talk groups into it. I am seeing a good signal on the control frequency. I am not hearing any voice activity at all. I am concerned the color code for it on RRDB is wrong or it's not a very well used system. RRDB gives a color code of 1. That color code looks generic for programs like SDRTrunk or DSDPlus Fastlane. I think my scanner needs actual color... Read more View article »
11-21-25 Just picked up an old radio that blew me away... I recently purchased a radio on eBay that i had wanted about 30 years ago but couldn't afford at the time, and they are getting harder to find these days.

An Eagle Tomahawk. It's an AM/FM/SSB "10 meter" base station with bands A-J after conversion. This one is in pretty nice shape yet, and hasn't been butchered to death. These got mixed reviews back in the day, but man, i really like this thing. The RX quality is superb, and i got excellent audio reports from DX today after i slapped an old...

11-21-25 BCD996xt cleaning help? Sorry if this post has already been answered prior, I looked around and didn’t see anything. I have a BCD996HT that had a bit of coffee spilled on the face. All the... 11-21-25, 15:44 pm Sorry if this post has already been answered prior, I looked around and didn’t see anything. I have a BCD996HT that had a bit of coffee spilled on the face. All the number buttons working fine, volume and squelch as well. The scan search, and the hold resume on the far right side seem to work intermittently in time after this. I have opened the radio and checked to make sure the ribbon connections are good and I don’t believe that to be the problem. Just those two buttons on the far right... Read more View article »
11-21-25 Antenna ID I was given these 2 antennas with no info about what they are. One is a standard NMO mount, the other came with a magnetic base that isn't NMO.

I'm not local but I travel to Park City at least once a year and am looking for some info/reconfirmations in the area in preparation for an upcoming ski trip. Word on the street is that Deer Valley Resort has migrated all their communications to some flavor of MOTOTRBO DMR system... anyone in Summit County able to scan and/or confirm if they are using the same frequencies? If they are digital, are they conventional, Cap+, Cap Max, or something different? I have also heard that... Read more View article »
