Indeed! The US isn't the only country where people are armed. We don't have a gun problem, we have a hypermedicated lunatic problem

Sounds like typical media bias to me

Many LEOs like their dispatch being open to the people because they get a lot of information from everyday folks with scanners. For example, if their looking for someone / chasing someone, people DO actually call in with locations, vehicle info, etc.

Indeed a few towns kept their VHF for now at least.

This is true, if you used the Baofeng software it does auto-populate the TX freq with the output(RX). I'm just glad they don't know the offset and tones. This is not a simplex system though.

They do use a 3 site voting system to cover terrain in Evans and also the Town of Brant/Village of Farnham. I've seen the control screen as I've worked there as a PSD. The P25 isn't in the budget.

I got zero response from that post and the issue is ongoing whence the new thread

I emailed both with as much info as I could give along with a copy of the WAV I recorded direct off Pro Scan ( I love that feature ). The PD ( whom I worked for as a dispatcher for a while ) asked me to keep them updated. When I'm buzzing around town I do monitor in an attempt to at least get...

BTECH's manuals are written much better than Baofeng's. I'm guessing that there's a multi use key somewhere. It might have to be user selected by computer connection with either CHIRP or Baofeng's software for that radio. I had to use CHIRP to turn on the Dual Watch on my UV82-HP. The on screen...

For some, I guess I can see the appeal behind the use of DMR and other network based modes for one simple reason. If I can download and use EchoLink for free or connect a DMR rig to the net for no more than my monthly broadband fee Vs. spending THOUSANDS of dollars for an HF radio and MANY...

I'm hoping that some Western New York scanner users in and around Evans, NY can help with a little problem. Someone using a Baofeng or other CCR has been TRYING to jam the Evans PD voters by throwing random key chunks and often transmitting dogs barking. I have reported this, along with scanner...

Yes, it would, by proxy mean that traditional Japanese companies like Yeasu and American companies like Kenwood and Motorola and even iPhone, who ALL farm out OEM to China, would have to re-contract their manufacturing, or stop selling....or God forbid, produce domestically. Yes Kenwoods can be...

I LOVE my Fords but had to stray because of fuel pump noise, many times at S9 or above depending on the vehicle. And when you walked into the dealership and ASKED for the filter to put in-line with the pump, they looked at ya like you just fell off a turnip truck....Yes, the turnip truck made by...

FCC doesn't have the manpower to enforce their own rules against electrical/electronic devices causing harmful interference. Sad...

We're living in with the "App" generation. It's crazy how many people actually believe their Stupidphone really has a scanner in it and because they spent $2.99 at the App Store, stuff just magically works....or at best, dispatchers just stream their comms openly.

Seems kinda funny that Uniden would let that fly. I mean isn't most of what people listen to in the VHF/UHF bands? I'll stick with my 996P2 for a while before moving to an SDS... you know, til they work out the glitches...yeah that's it, Uniden will fix that....

Thanks, I'll do it now!

Anyone on the in forums who lives in the Evans, NY area. Someone with a China radio has been making MANY attempts to, I believe, interfere with the Evans PD dispatch channel. I need a little help trying to triangulate this clown! The good news is, although they're smart enough to program a...

When I was about 12, my Step-dad had a portable Philco, I believe, that could receive AM/FM and shortwave as well as VHF outside the commercial FM. I'd spend hours tuning around, listening to everything from aviation, the local police and fire frequencies and of course, the usual shortwave stuff...
