You will like them. Spent $60 for two dongles to monitor a simulcast VHF P25 Phase 2 system perfectly. Not spending $700 for a scanner when the SDR's are great. I can't take it with me leaving the office but for that price but who cares. I also like Trunked Recorder and slecting talkgroups...

Good luck getting the FCC to do anything. They will only help cell carriers with interferance that causes them problems. Even public safety agencies are given the cold shoulder when asking the feds for help.

How about those departments that don't have a seperate talkgroup or frequency that is encrypted?. Officer needs to run somone in a hurry and does it on dispatch talkgroup. Can't tell the officer, tough you cannot run this person since our dispatch channel is not ecrypted. There is no right to...

If something that was going on where they needed to run someone right away and not have time to switch to the big "E" talkgroup so the result would be sent in the clear. Easier to encrypt anything that might possibly have PII information transmitted on. Sorry folks, public safety...

It's actually the "Big E". But don't let it get out that the word encryption is banned here.

That is a pretty nifty radio!. Only $180 compared to thousands of dollars for a Moto APX8000!. They seem like good radios may pick one up to try. Now if they did the TPT like a real 8000, then that would be great!. My ham radio buddies will be jealous of my new radio!!.

For the price of those SDS scanners, there should not be any pops, noise, display issues, etc.

Having a talkgroup hold would be the killer feature. It would be nice to hold on one when only certain TG traffic that needs to be heard. I don't know why that feature is not there, seems like a no-brainer to code that. It's not rocket science.

The satellite is over 16 years old spending all that time in the harshness of space no wonder it had issues. It was a solar storm due to Cycle 25 that took the satellite out. Directv engineers were able to switch to a backup bus and repostion the solar panels for more power. The spotbeam...

If you ask nicely they might give it to you. Are system keys public?. If I am a tax payer I have the right to use something I am paying for. If we are going to give Motorola billions of dollars for public safety radios, then I want the system key to program up my Motorola for NAS. Besides...

Tell me about it. I loaded several 2M/440 repeaters in my new radio and nothing but crickets. Thought maybe I screwed something up and not recieving anything. Tried making contacts during the day and early evening but nothing. Sure change from when I was first licensed over 30 years ago when...

Probably should sue them in small claims court. Make them pay for filing fees but even if you win good luck getting the money. The burden is on you to collect it if you win. They may fail to appear in court so you win by default but once again good luck getting your money back. It's too bad...

Just put in the Itinerant for either UHF or VHF. They are so widely used and most are unlicensed anyway so chances of getting busted are low. Add encryption, even ADP since it's free and nobody will know who is talking. Not 100% secure but is keeps the scanner heads out. Been doing this for...

Your now a TV star!. Time to get an agent now. Interview was good, can I get an autograph. It sucks more and more agencies are encrypting now and that is the future of LE comms.

Who cares. The chance the FCC police catches him is extremely low. He probably has a better chance winning the Powerball than getting caught by the feds.

Mr. Merlin is just confusing everyone.

Swing and a miss. Strike three, you're out!.

Encryption with private keys should be allowed here in the U.S on amateur radio. Should get rid of the old fogeys who want to interrupt good conversations with garbage talk.

Myself and a friend of mine were thinking of starting up a live YouTube stream. We would drive around the city on weekend nights going to police calls like fires, car crashes, unruley crowds, etc. There would need to be atleast two of us or maybe more depending how busy it gets. First thing...

Same setup here. I purchased it to help with the power bill since I was running a full size tower i7, 500 watt power supply. With the AC running all summer this helped by only using about 35 watts. It is running SDR Trunk and a bunch of other software all at once. Only being a i5 with 16gb...
