    PSP Conventional Frequencies

    The VHF frequencies were always a backup out of the Trevose Barracks near me when they were on open scam er sky. Car to car simplex was used everyday between troop cars. The base and mobile frequencies were also used regularly as there were many issues with Open Sky. I still monitor those...

    Looking to use my 30 foot tv tower

    You won't be scoffed at here, radio reference is the best place for you to find out information, you don't want to talk halfway around the globe but you want the best performance you can get from your setup. Good radio, good grounding, good coax. Sounds like you have some good potential here.

    Looking to use my 30 foot tv tower

    LOL, what is your antenna?, what is your radio?, what is it other than CB that you would like to hear with the advantage of a rooftop? What is the line that you're going to run to the radio, LOL, you're not going to have that much loss at 27 MHz but take the opportunity to use this tower for...

    Looking to use my 30 foot tv tower

      Do your thing. It really doesn't matter, a 30 ft tower is a 30-foot tower to use at your discretion, if it has the integrity to do so. In addition to CB? You might want to add a few more properly positioned antennas for other purposes. Sounds like a good problem to have.

    Strange signal found in my house

    ^^^ this.. we don't know what kind of radio you have.. most likely you're getting interference from something in your house or area, could be power sources, a device of yours or neighbor or on a nearby tower.. A birdie, as said, would be generated from the radio itself and again we don't know...

    Sentinel: ID Search

    I don't believe that you can do ID search when searching the full database. If you make favorites lists, you can toggle between scan IDs and search IDs in a system using function E on the keyboard.

    Trump Rallys. *no political references or posting*

    So you're either talking about Schwenksville in Lehigh County that I think some areas are encrypted. Or you are talking about Newtown Township in Bucks County which is 100% encrypted for all county Police. I would think that secret service is encrypted. State Police also.

    BNC Portable Antenna Suggestions

    Okay taking a closer look you are looking for your SDS 100, I use the Watson 801, pretty much impossible to find in SMA which may or may not work with the 100, but I would recommend using the adapter and using the BNC. Good luck.

    BNC Portable Antenna Suggestions

    I apologize that I got your thread mixed up with another recent thread. I have a suggestion. I'm surprised no one's chimed in yet with this. It's been marketed several different ways but, you can mount it with Magnetic or lip mount but of course drilling a hole on the roof of your car or at...

    Plenty of scanner activity on Monday, April 8th - Eclipse Day

    Just north of the city line of Philadelphia we had 90% occlusion. It was cloudy but it got dark-er. I don't trust any of the glasses for sale even though I'm sure some were legitimate but I enjoyed the ambiance, the reduction in ambient light, but especially the birds going nuts, dogs barking...

    Low Band Portable BNC Antenna

    So this is for a portable and it looks like you're looking for the 40 MHz area, tough to find anymore, I had a few links and they are expired. Try a BNC telescopic antenna like what comes with Bearcat scanners, should be easy to find, it's not going to be an exact quarter wave length but..

    Tag "BC160DN/BC260DN" should be "BCD160DN/BCD260DN"

    Ah, Uniden calls it BCD, never noticed, it does indeed have the wrong label prefix.😀

    Tag "BC160DN/BC260DN" should be "BCD160DN/BCD260DN"

    Also poster, you might want to ask that this be put in the Uniden Tavern as I don't think it belongs in Forum Administration.

    Tag "BC160DN/BC260DN" should be "BCD160DN/BCD260DN"

    Mmm.. I don't think so, has nothing to do with a BCD scanner, doesn't trunk, doesn't cover p25. Different League. Just my..
