It can be done - these guys{http://www.rpc-electronics.com/rh96rmk.php} at one time made exactly what your looking for using the discontinued RH96 head for uniden scanners. They also have a Youtube video showing a 75ft run through the house. They don't appear to be active as the email bounces...

Are there any REAL stats on how often public safety communications have been disrupted by unauthorized users that have been using these radios and not stolen,etc?

In 1971 when i first installed a CB in Landcrusier you couldn't find anyone to talk to - had to bring your own walkies. Seems we have almost returned to that point !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"One useful feature of ham radios that the CCRs have is full end user programmability directly from the radio's keypad. This makes the radio ineligible for Part 90 (or 95) even if it meets all other technical requirements (freq tolerance/stability, bandwidth, modulation, etc.). The end user can...

Me personally? I think it would be a good compromise if the radios just came programmed with FRS or MURS (depending on the band). Will people run 5 watts instead of 2? Sure, but who cares? There are already hams and plenty of other people running WAY too much power as it is. The extra 3 watts is...

Note- I live in the Sierra foothills, and monitor the fires from the recent lightning strikes and, sure enough heard a conversation about how good the Baofeng radio was doing getting out of the canyon. Anyone that believes the "big" boys aren't taking a big loss from these cheapies is...

The truck drivers{logging,service,etc} around here have been using MURS when traveling into the mtns.

The the BCD396XT doesn't decode phase 2????? Does: Digital - Motorola, EDACS, LTR, P25 (Phase 1)

I don't have anything but frs/gmrs but have seen write ups saying they make decent scanners! While I'm very rural -I monitor cities 500,000+ populations Maybe in NYC,LA etc there is a lot more interference , but point was MOST people are not looking to cause problems with fire/police/med...

But it happens - and I see no proof these cheap radios are the main problem just a excuse.

Just a thought - if there was MASSIVE interference on the public safety bands wounldn't the people on this site know it.I mean we monitor more than the FCC. The interference cases i know of around me have all been stolen radios and in the end they get caught. Most of the traffic in the central...

Good job RR!!!!!

Does anyone have,or know where to find the tone out codes for Fresno/Kings CALFIRE . Trying to "catch" them using the 15X or BCD996XT would take weeks and you might still miss the ones you wanted. Trying to get Company 74,75,76 out of BLASINGAME or the Tollhouse volunteers.

The pro-92/95{ $ 50 on ebay} would allow you to get into listening now and FREE software is available. As others have pointed out , you can then spend $500 + for a new digital if your still interested when it arrives - . you'll have an idea of what and how newer scanners are programed etc. On...

Thank you = local area(central CA.) is still mostly analog

Never heard of these - and I was on air in the 70s Thanks

Which older/current scanners support fire toneout?????

I'm on a "hill" just out of Burrough Valley between Tollhouse and Pine Flat. I'm getting both sides of the conversation on 415.575 - the traffic is Sierra haven't heard any Sequoia forest traffic I get pretty good reception as I have a "line of sight" view towards a lot of the High Sierra and...

Here you go 172.225 (94.8) (82.5) (88.5) 171.475 (88.5) 415.575 (110.9) Nothing on 406.575

"USFS uses the UHF freqs for site to site or site to other fixed locations" Must have changed since I defiantly have heard engines,air craft,other mobiles responding on this Freq.
