Sam’s Club Digital?

[robertsdoug]

Was at a Sam’s club today and the radios they were using were Motorola and the audio was definitely digital. I always thought they were MURS. Anyone know the modulation type and frequencies?

I think this is what they are using at the Walmart near me. They got rid of the MURS radios last year.

That is interesting. It seems like the radios were larger than that. It doesn't say the modulation type, but does show FHSS, which would make scanning impossible.

Sams by me is still UHF business DOT frequency. Same as Target and a few others. All the Walmarts around me are all MURS

That could be what they are using here. They are the same shape as the DLR series. I don't remember what side the antenna was on.

I remember a lot of people at my store bought their own 5R, probably more than what was in the store's RDM2070d cache. plenty of people from maintenance to front end to cart pushers bought one, the ones that got a radio because their job somewhat required it instead of running around a lot, and others were sick of their busted speakers 2070 hand me down or until a new shipment of 2070d's arrived that quickly disappeared lol

Although the smart people knew not to have a walkie because that meant management knew you were easily accessible
I joke but I do think that because of that situation, we were a very good running store because of good communication

Identification and sharing of RF activity is what this message board is about.

to steal from the ole media phrase - if it bleeds it leads
if it transmits we identify and share (Use, PL/DPL/NAC, mode etc)

How do you think your local PD/FD/DPW/EMS got identified for you to listen to ?

What's cool about the scanning hobby is...if it's not something you want to listen to, you don't have to.

Sam's club and of course WAL-MART! I'm not surprised the Company that I work for, they use Motorola FHSS 900mhz too. Besides, does anyone really need to if they're not in the general vicinity what's happening in aisle 1 or 21? Of course, everyone's curious about Loss Prevention Staff to deter Shop Lifters and listening out for Code ADAM.
Of course, most scanner enthusiasts would ask me, why am I posting this? My answer is, I don't know why, but when one works in retail and listening to retail industries on your own time be as if you always at work.

That's true, little odd that someone would listen to Walmart

Come on man, the managers yelling at the front end when lines are backing up, the endless groans from department managers being scolded for a less than stellar walkthru. Front end managers trying to figure out who is left to cover lunches, The endless calls for maintenance guarding a spill or cart pushers in grueling 100 degree heat be told they need to hurry up and get more carts ....and some people like listening to 911 calls, pursuits, structure fires and that crap pfffft

One day I was walking into the store, with my vest on, and approaching a car parked and I noticed a guy intensely staring down at a handheld scanner, as I came closer he noticed me walking by, looked up panicked and hid it below view. I laugh every time I recall that event
