    Which scanner would be best?

    Thank you both for your replies. At the moment I want to stay with a traditional scanner, just in case i decide to put it in the truck. I was looking at the BCD996P2 in particular, it seems like it will listen to most of what I am looking for. Your list above helps confirm that. My 785D is...

    Which scanner would be best?

    I used to be knowledgeable in the area of scanners back in the EDACS days when I lived in south Alabama. Moved to East Tennessee some years ago, and after some aggravation trying to listen to anything in Sevier county, i kind of gave up the listening hobby. Recently I pulled the old BC785D out...

    What do I have to do to monitor Fire/EMS In Sevier County?

    Ok, not the answer I was hoping for but thank you. Hopefully they move to a different system (for interoperability) that can be monitored soon.

    What do I have to do to monitor Fire/EMS In Sevier County?

    It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Skimming through the forums, looks like there are new technologies and scanners also. I used to have a channel online for Sevier County Fire, but took it down because it was difficult to listen to. So can anyone tell me if I can set up a newer scanner to...

    Sevier County LTR?

    The Sevier CO system looks like they all start on LCN 11. I would be looking to scan only Greentop (Land Air) and the Sevierville site for Sevier County Public Safety. The frequencies being essentially the same, with the exception of adding LCN 11 to the lineup. I realize I would probably...

    Sevier County LTR?

    Question: Can different LTR systems sharing some of the same frequencies and TGs be combined into one scan bank on a BC785D? Info: Sevier County Public Safety Sevierville Site uses the following LCN and Frequency: 11 460.02500 14 451.07500 15 453.87500 18 460.62500 19 453.38750 Land Air...

    Help setting up new feed

    This is an update on my feed situation, in case anyone is searching for a solution to their problem. I could not get the small netbook to work. It came with Windows XP service pack 3 pre-installed and I had no way to delete it and use SP2. From what I could figure out, the dot net Framework...

    Help setting up new feed

    Thanks for the info. I downloaded RadioFeed, and basically the same thing happened with a very similar error message like the one in my first post. I am thinking maybe I got the wrong version of Net Framework maybe. I am doing a system restore on the computer, and will try to reload...

    Help setting up new feed

    Still using XP because i can't dedicate my everyday use computer to set this up. This is an extra computer that can be fully dedicated to putting this feed online. I can start scannercast and it seems to run fine until I try to retrieve my feeds. It is at that point (about 15 seconds after...

    I am trying to setup a new feed for my local fire department. I get an error message when I try to connect to retrieve my feeds inside scannercast. I downloaded the closest thing to net framework 2.0 I could find, all the previous links I found to download it in searches of this forum were...

    New to Shortwave Listening

    Bill -- I recently bought a G6 and am pretty happy with it. It even works good in a big city in the daytime. I did make an antenna for myself though on this page: Build a Multiband Shortwave Antenna - Simple Shortwave Antennas for Shortwave Radios! I made the one about a quarter of the way...

    2006 F-150 Simple In Dash Install

    Here is my 2055 in the dash with my sony fm radio. I didn't want to put a magnet antenna on my new truck, and certainly didn't want to drill a hole for a permanent mount. So i took the lazy and easy way out. I cut off about 2feet of cable with a BNC connector on one side, and took the antenna...

    Each of those frequencies listed for the new simulcast sites are currently being used on the City of Mobile Motorola system. Question is will they remove these six frequencies from the system while still the city still uses the Motorola or will the city switch over to EDACS first then the...

    780 software update

    I don't know about wether or not to remove the old butel software, but as fas as the ID's go, If you want ALL of the IDs in your scanner, you may need to make 2 banks for springhill or 2 banks for saraland and divide the groups accordingly. I picked out my favorites and that's the only thing I...

    Mobile County EDACS tower update

    The freqs shown in the database are correct and in the right order for Saraland Tower, I just checked my scanner to be sure. I have a 780 in my truck and it picks up the saraland tower just fine. As far as which tower and how many to program in, I would say that depends on wether your scanner...

    Pro 96 Question AM/FM

    Yes, I believe that's the point. The RS site is in error, and I was just trying to add a little humor to someone's day. Thank you for pointing that out Tony

    Pro 96 Question AM/FM

    I must have a bum scanner then, my 785 will pick up radio(88-108), and TV audio as well. It comes in handy if you are trying to hear the news on your way home from work. The FM radio(88-108) isn't listened to very much at all, but it is also nice to have if you have replaced your truck FM...
