    Whistler scanners unable to track new VHF P2 system

    But keep in mind that the specific fix was related to the fact that the TRX-1 would not recognize my local system at all. Performance wasn't poor or subpar, it was completely non-existent. There may be no guarantee it will help anyone who is just having poor performance.

    Whistler scanners unable to track new VHF P2 system

    No update... I am hoping they put the fix into an update for the 1080.

    Movies involving monitoring

    And still a great scene, regardless of the scanners! And great movie. I keep meaning to find other Michael Mann movies to watch I haven't seen yet. Love the tone and feel of his movies.

    My next shack: Computerized!

    Thank you. That's what I'm looking for, something with a female DB9 so that I don't have to mess with gender changers and such. Although, not at that price. I see some cheaper options on Amazon I may give a try, even though they may be a bit sketchy.

    My next shack: Computerized!

    Would you be able to share what you are using for the "specially made USB cables" for the rear ports? I have a serial to USB cable that I sometimes use for the rear port of my 996P2, but I would like something more permanent.

    OP25 VirtualBox Project - Run OP25 on Windows 7

    The README still indicates in a couple of places that -2 and -V are no longer required, so a lot of phase 2 users who are giving this a try may not know that -2 is still required until they read it here.

    Amazon supply chain fraud re: Uniden Scanner?

    I also am baffled at why this causes so much drama. So I'm assuming that you contacted Amazon and they probably apologized and immediately sent the correct unit, correct? If so, ultimately you ended up with a brand new 536HP at $100-$150 less than the standard retailers. That's a gamble I'm...

    Missing Thread notifications

    Yes, I've seen this happen with the delayed posts as well. And when the posts do appear, they have the time/date stamp from when they made the original post which was confusing me. Sometimes I would go back and scroll through a thread and see scattered posts that I swear were not there...

    Unication G5 unaddressed FAQs and inquiries

    Ah yes, I see now that right clicking on a knob position allows you to copy/paste/delete. And I also noticed that you can right click on a Zone # and you can move them up or down. So you could insert a new Zone anywhere you wanted by creating a New Zone at the end and then moving it up to where...

    Unication G5 unaddressed FAQs and inquiries

    One thing to keep in mind too, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, there is no way to copy/paste/insert within the TGID and Zone lists in the PPS software. So as you said, planning out ahead of time is a good idea. I don't think there is a way to sort or rearrange the talkgroup...

    Amazon supply chain fraud re: Uniden Scanner?

    As others have said, Amazons return policy is quite liberal. They issue the refund as soon as you drop off the package to UPS (or they pick it up). While it's a great way to "try out" a scanner, they should really wait to issue the refund until they are in possession of the item and it has been...

    Amazon supply chain fraud re: Uniden Scanner?

    Uniden supply chain fraud? Interesting that it always seems to be a BC760XLT that arrives.

    Unication breaks the silence on PII timeline

    True, or maybe through Email. I hope they don't throw anything at me. :)

    Unication breaks the silence on PII timeline

    I'm curious as well how they will handle it... perhaps they will do it similar to how Uniden does and provide the firmware upgrade for free, but then require a purchased serial number to unlock the new mode. I wonder also if Unication will have the purchase available on their website or if it...

    New Kauai Public Safety P25

    MtnBiker2005 provided some good info from Pro96Com a few posts back, are you within range of that site to give it a try? I am too far away. The database won't update itself, it needs users to confirm the talkgroups. If you are within range, then you are a good candidate.

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    Bagdeppa, just checking in, was wondering what systems you've been monitoring on your G5? I received my G5 recently and been playing around with it, but not a whole lot to listen to with this unit from my location. I am anxiously waiting for the phase 2 update which is supposed to be released...

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    It still sounds as if the scanner is attempting to scan more than just the Kailua site and trying to lock onto a control channel that you don't want. I would make absolutely sure that you are scanning ONLY the favorites list with the one Kailua site and nothing else. Make sure that Monitor Full...

    Hawai'i County Radio System Upgrade

    Sounds like perhaps in Discovery Mode, it is locking on the Kailua site properly like you want, but in regular scan mode it is attempting to lock onto a more distant site. If I were you, I would go into Sentenel and DELETE all sites except for Kailua on your favorites list to be absolutely sure...
