    Best scanner for this system

    Your best bet for cheap but effective would be something like a used BCD996T or BCD396T. The problem is SmartZone is beyond end of life and end of support system wise. Although no one has posted official news, there have been enough rumors about the system being replaced by a P25 system at some...

    NFPA 1802

    There's a certification process. To be certified it's more than protection - there are specific functions, RSM testing with fault notification, RSM cross-compatibility, and some other things that are required

    Dual APX "Hot Red Receiver"

    I mean... the whole point of "non-affiliate scan" is to not transmit affiliation, and what this is basically tell you is it's not registering to the trunking system or, as some may call it, not affiliating... so let you draw your own conclusions. If you understand how MSI systems work, what it...

    Looking for PMAT4005...?

    I have been looking as well... seems they were cancelled and the 4001 is recommended, and to your point is a pit poker in comparison.

    2022 Ford Explorer (6th Gen)

    Agree with Rich - second vote for ProClip. As a side note, what they both typically use is what is called AMPS mounting pattern which is universal. So I know most Panavise supported AMPS so you could do things like the ProClip radio mount which is what I use for a 436/SDS100 but that's worked...

    Will using Direct / Talkaround break anything?

    It's totally dependent on your operations. If you have a repeated fireground frequency, I think it makes sense to allow the change on those but maybe not dispatch. Sort of all depends how busy and purpose of frequencies. Could you put it on every one? Sure. A good use case is if everyone is...

    Dispatching over main channel when separate alerting system is used

    Yes it's an ISO thing - it's more about the redundancy where the toning would be secondary to an IP system. They want a backup so if you have IP based alerting, you could say, use Quik Call over a simulcast to also alert the station.

    2020 Chevy Traverse

    While I am not OP, there is several devices that use CarPlay/Android Auto to run apps. This is one example: https://www.usammb.com/ Please use these devices responsibly. I am in an area we already have a problem with distracted drivers. We have had a lot of close calls from folks generally not...

    P25 Phase 2 trunked system remote receiver

    Phase II implies TDMA. I thought that was a limitation of GPW?

    P25 Phase 2 trunked system remote receiver

    Yes. For example Motorola makes a GPW 8000. Works pretty much like a conventional voter. edit: just noticed you said phase 2… this would be FDMA

    Mobile Data Solutions

    I think it comes down to how many you have to manage. At some point the effort of having to deal with pucks and their associated issues makes CradlePoint, Sierra, etc. worth it - even with them charging you monthly fees. The thing that sticks out to me is the surface. It's not a bad device, but...

    Identify

    Which ones? The microwave links? The cellular sector antennas? Some other omni-directionals too, but pic is too resolution to guess at a band. Top of a mountain... good location for antennas, probably all sorts of stuff there.

    Do you have some feature with the conventional personality such as a data profile or a trunking scan list?

    DMR, Public Safety, and trunking

    There is a universal "Teir III" DMR standard for trunking most manufacturers can support, they just can't overlay their proprietary features if the subscribers aren't theirs. Likely though, a manufacturer responding to a DMR RFP will respond with their proprietary version since it will meet the...
