It's reading from the card when you power it on. That takes time to load your favorites list. No harm turning it off while it's booting up.

The G5's internal antenna is just a solid wire antenna only a couple inches in length maybe. It's very inefficient and relies upon the fact that the users the G5's are intended for will be working in areas where the signal levels are generally good for the UHF or VHF secondary band. In my case...

I saw the same here when using the programs check for updates. I'd probably have never noticed this however as I always just go directly to the ProScan website to get the updates when Bob announces a new version. I've had the check for newest version option unchecked for years on all instances...

How about amateur radio SkyWarn? I'm not sure what repeater they may use in OKC but it may be listed in the database here.

I didn't think the two new Uniden models support trunk tracking. If not, then I doubt you could program any LCNs as they are only needed to steer the scanner to the correct voice channel. Someone else here on RR also mentioned the new Uniden's do not stop on control or rest channels data or data...

Joplin PD is on this system: Joplin Public Safety (P25) Trunking System, Joplin, Missouri Most of Joplin's PD comms are encrypted which no scanner can monitor. I can't speak of Neosho

I was able to update the x36HP version of Sentinel to the 3/17 DB date on 3/18. The data seems fine but I can recall Uniden pulling a DB update once due to corrupt data of some type. I think that would have been before the x36/SDS version of Sentinel existed though. No idea if this happened this...

The IC-R8600 and R30 both support NXDN Very Narrow and Narrow. If you want both, you must program the frequency or search twice. Once for Narrow and again as Very Narrow. Both NXDN modes work fine on matching N or VN NXDN systems here.

Any hints in the the words they speak when you hear voice?

Good point.

Is your R8600 the US version receiver? Running the latest 1.35 firmware version? All 3 antenna inputs become a user selectable option on all freqs below 30 MHz. At least both my 8600's allow me to choose any of the 3 Ant inputs when tuning below 30 MHz. This is inline with what others have...

Is that supposed to be 8022 kHz or 8.8022 MHz?

CHU is on the air on all three frequencies. 3330, 7850 and 14670 I'm getting signal here in Missouri on all three at the moment but 14670 is fading away for the night. 7850 is very strong here right now.

Set the Audio Option to Analog only and leave it set on tone search. You can also try setting the modulation to FM instead of NFM and see if that helps but I think changing the Audio type to Analog will fix the problem. If the Audio Option is blank like you said, the HomePatrol will try to...

Interesting!

Has this 436 been modified to accept three 3.6 (or 3.7) VDC lithium rechargeable cells in place of the standard NiMH or alkaline cells? I know there are AA size 1.5 VDC lithium cells that require a special charger as they have buck convertors in the cells to reduce their voltage back down to 1.5...

I have an older G5. When I first got it, reception was not the best. I opened it up and quickly found out that the internal side of my G5's SMA connector uses a quick release type connector just like those connectors used on mini-pci WiFi cards in laptops. I don't think I ever knew what that...

As @pro92b mentioned in his earlier post, disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable that connects to the actual LCD display. I've fixed a bunch of the Pro 93, 95 and 96 models with the same exact problem. Reconnecting the LCD ribbon cable always fixed the display problems when it appeared to be...

Does anyone still sell one of the cheapo USB sound dongles that offer an actual stereo input? Most specify a Mic level input only that is also listed as a mono jack or input. I had bought a bunch years ago that were under a buck each. I think they were on eBay back then. They could be configured...

Yes, the knobs are interchangeable between the models. Try grabbing the knob with one of those rubber things used for gripping tight glass lids on jars. Or even a pair of pliers but wrap the knob with something first so the pliers jaws don't leave impressions in the knob being removed. Once you...
