I am well aware of that .. and as you may have seen, my project is done now. The only thing I may add for home use is the ability to get the distance from A-B for home use from a repeater. But I have no room on the screen .. so I will have to see about that one.

Here is an update (You Tube channel) to the project now that it is done. The Uniden scanner is now talking to the Arduino. Arduino RSSI Project Is Now Done

I ordered a couple of these for projects. I am working on one for my shack and in the future, likely one for the car. So I should get it here on Wednesday (thanks FedEx, they are wonderful for international shipping, unlike UPS). But will need to do some testing first ... but it should work fine...

We used a Picoscope to look at the data being sent etc. We tried the MNU command as a sample, and the scanner did not respond as needed. It will be a week until I can proceed. I will post back when I have made more progress.

Yes .. but determined that the Anduino is sending TTL data, which the scanner does not like as it is RS232. I need the RS232 converter. I will get one ordered and report back.

Thanks for the reply. I have a friend coming over today with some test gear. We are going to see what is going on .. so I think I will be good. I am using an Uno right now but may go to a Mega due to the extra communication capabilities. But I will see what today brings.

It is almost done .. just need the protocol part from the scanner. It may be an Arduino issue .. but would like some feedback before buying some hardware that is not needed. Btw .. the below is a screenshot. Raw data, Raw data average, Percent vs Strong Signal, dBm, S-Units (old school, with S0...

I am trying to complete a project with my BCT15X and an Arduino. I have everything done except cannot get a peep from the scanner. So I have a few questions, and am wondering if someone could help me on this one. First .. what pins are used on the BACK of the scanner for remote communication ...

If you want to do DMR on the 325P2 look elsewhere .. total junk.

Yes .. I did it as shown by UPMan. It does have the DMR upgrade. I am actually testing it at home .. outside antenna so I can receive it. It does not stop when scanning. Btw .. I am using ARC-XT software. Plan B .. I have imported the system directly from RR, and will test to see if it works...

I am trying to receive a DMR system here and getting nothing on my 325P2 while scanning in 'id scan mode'. I have it programmed up and if I sit on one of the 2 frequencies I can receive audio but nothing at all if I have the scanner scan the system. Wondering what I am doing wrong ? Just as a...

That's what I thought too .. until they wanted $95 US for shipping for a 10 gram / 0.35 oz item. Needless to say .. I did not order it. I have one in my car, works great. But I did cook my WS-1095 recently .. have no use for it now at all to be honest even if the sensitivity is still < 0.7 uV on...

In the last 2 weeks I accidentally cooked a couple of radios .. with doing a TX on 70 cm band. Yes I know better but oops. It was 50 watts and the antenna is about 10 ft from the receive antenna to a couple of receivers. I have since set all my radios to 5 watts maximum to prevent this from...

Probably why I cannot get anything in Edmonton.

You sure the TX location is in Edmonton and not Calgary ?

Here in Edmonton .. nothing on either of those frequencies.

The issue .. this is a mobile install and notch filters are not a practical answer.

Well installed my BCT15 in my car yesterday and only one issue. The front end is overloaded. That is pretty big issue as it does not work well. I am mostly listening to a 800 MHz system. With some trial and error .. I determined that is the issue as I made one quick key normal and one I turned...

Just thought as we are talking antenna results here, here are my measurements of signal strength for 4 antennas that I did this morning. First .. measured with an Icom R7000 (calibrated RSSI). Antennas involved .. Laird VHF 1/4 wave, Laird UHF 1/4 wave, Larsen TriBand scanner antenna...

I managed to get a BC-RH96 remote head for my BCT15 recently .. though I do not have it yet but in preparation for the install, I have a few questions. Can you use the serial port on the back of the scanner for the connection to the remote head ? I heard there may be a menu option for this ...
