    Hoosier SAFE-T thread 2025

    Vermillion/Parke/Vigo County Scanning

    SAFE-T experts, feel free to chime in. On Project SAFE-T, talkgroups appear on sites based on two criteria: 1. Is the talkgroup assigned to that site, or 2. Has a user selected that talkgroup affiliated with that site. I'm going to assume that all Vermillion County talkgroups appear on both...

    An SWR of 2:1 is not the end of the world. A J-pole antenna is an end-fed half-wave. As an end-fed, the feed point at the end of the antenna has a high impedance. The bottom third of an J-pole is a quarter-wave matching transformer so you can feed the antenna with a 50 ohm feedline. That...

    Minnesota ARMER encryption

    The use of police communication equipment is regulated and no person shall equip any motor vehicle with the equipment described. An exception is made for holders of amateur radio licenses.

    Help Pass The HOA Legislation

    I tend to agree. When I bought my house, I knew it was an in HOA and knew what the antenna restrictions were. Nonetheless, I've achieved Worked All States and DX Century Club using antennas that my neighbors don't seem to care about. Do I want a 60 foot tower with a tri-band beam? Yes. Do I...
