    Panama Canal Frequencies?

    I will be transiting the Panama Canal and looking for frequencies. There are some on the RR DB, but I found reference a UHF system with 3 zones x 16 channels (link below) but cant find the actual frequencies. Does anyone have any first hand experience and recommend what is active...

    Feature Request: Ability to disable stream remotely?

    I work very closely with the agencies I stream. I have had one or two occasions in the 10+ years of broadcasting they have asked me to disable the stream when officer safety was involved. I think now is a good time to ask this question - Would it be possible to add an option on the Manage...

    Feed going offline several times a day

    I have a feed I have been running for years without issue, but since late last week it has been going offline multiple times per day. It is on a dedicated Debian Whezzy box running Darkice. I was on 1.1, but after having issues I upgraded to 1.2 - but the issue persists. I have been running...

    City of Germantown P25 testing

    The VHF Fire Primary frequency is multicast with the new system. No multicast with PD. I believe some of the other frequencies will eventually be re-purposed but they have not been given up yet to my knowledge.

    APX7000 P25 Multi-Band Radio

    Still trying to get them out the door, but really like it so far. The biggest complaint I have as a user is the antenna size of the VHF/800. Really tall to fit in your chest turnout pocket. Other thing on the wish list is that is would decode/encode QC2. Also, I am not as familiar with the...

    APX7000 P25 Multi-Band Radio

    radioman407 - I dont believe they have a VHF/UHF version -- nor would you want to spend the money for these models for conventional VHF/UHF. They have a VHF/700&800 model, and a UHF/800&800 model. As far as price - if you have to ask - you cant afford them...(Just kidding)...but they do cost a...

    LTR/Passport

    All keep in mind you need two version of programming software - one for the conventional side and one for the passport side. Real pain to work with.

    State Interoperability Channels

    Depending on which part of Tennessee you are in, you probably will hear very little. There are actually very few departments that have incorporated these into their radios. We are just now starting to see some movement in this area and hopefully more departments will adopt them as standard...

    800 MHz Mutual Aid Repeaters

    The primary Mutual Aid repeaters that are up in the Memphis area would be ICALL and the TEMA system (both listed in the database). The rest of the ITAC frequencies are currently Simplex, but can be setup on a mobile repeater if necessary. You will not hear much traffic on these at this time...

    EMS Tones - Memphis???

    There is another tread on this same subject, but If you use PL on .340 and .205 you will miss some of the traffic from mobile units. There are many agencies that are using CSQ. The long term plan for TN appears to move .205 to DCS205 statewide; however, it will be quite some time before that...

    PL Tones For MedCom in Memphis area?

    If you use PL on .340 and .205 you will miss some of the traffic from mobile units. There are many agencies that are using CSQ. The long term plan for TN appears to move .205 to DCS205 statewide; however, it will be quite some time before that happens.

    Spill of National Significance 2007 Exercise

    I will be there participating in comm for a local agency. Should be a very interesting drill. Your best bet will probably be to listen to local agencies. It is my understanding that many of the federal frequencies are moving toward being encrypted.

    Statewide Interop Freqs

    Milf - I know what you are saying for the state repeaters, but I was referring to the tac frequencies that will be used on incidents and will have the most action. There are several sets of frequencies - the TAC that will be used on a major scenes at lower power and some of the TMAC and other...

    Statewide Interop Freqs

    There is not much now, but usage should increase over time depending on the level of mutual aid calls and the radio systems of the surrounding agencies. They will be primarily used for interoperability between agencies at large mutual aid incidents. They are to be used at relatively low power...

    Memphis/Shelby County APCO-25 Update

    FYI….new story about the new system: http://www.wmctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5138688 (Police communication upgrade causes problems) I have used the new system on several occasions and I too have my concerns. Last time I used it, the radio stopped working properly when entering a small metal...

    Memphis/Shelby County APCO-25 Update

    matthewtomek - thx for sharing the info with the group. The only bad thing about the way you guys use the talk groups is not all the radios are configured the same. I use an XTS5000 that is configured with the WMD config (Police/EMA/Fire/I-Tac). The fireground talkgroups are on zones C and...

    Germantown FD

    The listing is incorrect. The UHF frequency is for the 'vocal' system which is used to dispatch companies in the engine house only. It is not used on-scene or by any mobile units.
