    One For The Wife.....

    Thought I would post a very low cost back light replacement for 2005/2005 scanners. I found these EL pannels at All Electronics. 3 for .99 cents. I was ordering other items so I figured I would get a few to play with. The very first one worked. You can see by the photo, they are a bit narrow...

    GPS Location problem with BCD536HP Need some help.

    Good day all. Well the GPS connection problem is resolved. Mark it up to pilot error. Phask's comment about auto locate NOT being part of the GPS process, is what alerted me to the problem. I went back to the basics, and started fresh. I think the problem was, I didn't notice the GPS indicator...

    GPS Location problem with BCD536HP Need some help.

    Thanks all. I tried all the recommendations and nothing worked. I changed the scanner message type, I tried the 3 different, but similar message types, hours, min, sec etc. on the GPS, with and without the crossed RX TX serial set up. Tried it with and without the full database thinking it...

    GPS Location problem with BCD536HP Need some help.

    Hello, After much research, I purchased a BCD536HP scanner just over a month ago. I found it pretty easy to sort out what I want to scan and create favorites. That all works perfectly. I plan to take a trip across my state, and want to use the GPS location feature. I own two GPS receivers...

    DSDPlus Issue after DSD+ 2.228 update

    I just loaded the 2.228 version. I'm unable to change the input settings from the TCIP input to the mic input. It is grayed out. I'm running a data connection from my scanner discriminator. I can run the prior fastlane update, but the new one is not allowing the input to be changed. I saved a...

    DSD+ Fastlane seems to be defunct?

    I re-submitted the payment and this time it worked. Got the download link. The only thing I can think of is I experienced a routing problem on the internet? Hoping the latest version is more stable with P25 decoding. Thanks to all who responded! Mike

    DSD+ Fastlane seems to be defunct?

    Ok. I'll try once more. Can one of you answer, as to whether there is an improvement in the P25 decoding? I'm running SDR# and the decoding quality wanders around. Sometimes it's OK other times error ridden. I know the signal is good as my Motorola XDS5000 works PERFECTLY at all times, sitting...

    DSD+ Fastlane seems to be defunct?

    I recently sent $10 to the DSD+ Fastlane email address for a year's support and the latest version software. I didn't hear anything, for over a week. So I sent a follow up email to the address, to which I sent the money. I received a reply, that the email was un-deliverable. I went back to...

    New Dual band tier 1 and 2 DMR TYT handheld MD-2017

    DMR was not designed for data. You CAN send small messaged over DMR, much like SMS or in some cases geolocation information. Messages are typically "pre-written" and stored in the radio. It was really designed for commercial voice communications, so that feature is very minor. If you're wanting...

    New Dual band tier 1 and 2 DMR TYT handheld MD-2017

    They are available in the US. Have not had my hand on one but a close DMR buddy got his. They are not dual band, but dual receive, first active band captures the radio. They do not share accessories with other TYT radios. The chargers are not the same as the MD380-390 units. They are a very...

    Tytera MD-380

    This is a tad late, but the TYT MD-380 for under $100.00 US is a great deal. If you've never used a DMR radio or programmed one, it will be a tad of a learning curve. I've been using one on Ham Radio for a few months and it's pretty amazing. There is a software hack, for the UHF version which...
