Hi,the frequencies of 450.5875 and 450.0875 156.7 have been very quite lately. I have been hearing what may be a data burst or another DIGITAL STANDARD. Any answers??? Thanks SQP

BTW: What about other news media outlets in the area??

I noticed the digital traffic on 450.5875 some time last week. My BCD-396T will not decode it (i.e. it isn't P25)....I strongly suspect this is MotoTRBO.....

Simplex or a repeater Kev, is that not where the audio clues were given on, break to or is that a different frequenmcy all together.

Yeah,that's what I was afraid of...I've said it before,and I'll say it again...Uniden needs to INVEST in the other digital standards before we won't hear anything.
Motorola and MA/COM will only release the other standards,IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!! And yeah, if it means I have to pay over thousand dollars for a scanner...SO BE IT!!!! SQP

i agree TRBO is being used more and more the university in naperville has it kane county jail has it harahs joliet are running 3 channels/rptrs? of it... I also see more of the fhss 900mhz radios being used by businesses.. Some manufacturer needs to put it on there scanner.
