NOTHING TO SCAN? I noticed in one of the threads here that someone suggested you set a scanner LOCATION and that you turn the "Use Location Control" to ON. Perhaps, based on whatever location you have set, you are physically out of range to receive what you are trying to receive. IT IS NOT...

Allow me to jump into the big middle of this conversation - hint - you mentioned you live in Houston. If you are looking to hear Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department you must be able to receive and monitor the site that is called "Houston General Government Services Simulcast"...

I have been informed there is a new TG 4460 (not in RR) on the Fort Bend Simulcast site of TxWARN. Anyone have any clues as to what it might be?

Curioser and curioser said Alice! Looks as if that license application for TNMP has been withdrawn as of 01-03-2024 and has been re-assigned to some other entity. There is a Washington DC law firm involved. Sheesh! No telling who owns it now. Follow the thread...

Interesting. That is a brand new license (August 2023). There surely must be plans to use it for something. The FCC has NO LISTING for the FRN 0001681253 even though it is listed on the license. The license administrator is a company called Lockard and White out of College Station, Texas. That...

Does anyone know what frequencies Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) service crews operate on? They operate in the smaller counties south of Houston area, lots in Brazoria County, and quite a bit in west Texas. What type of system do they have? I have never been able to see any radio antennas on...

The waterfall feature is a GREAT WAY to wear out your selection knob on the scanner. You have to turn the knob to tune the scanner over to the waterfall line of interest. Click-click-click-click-click dozens of times. By the time you get the scanner tuned where you want it, the transmission...

Digital voice channels are sporadic. What I have done is to go to Radio Reference to see what frequencies are in use for the tower site I am monitoring. Then I tune the scanner to one of those voice frequencies and just wait. EVENTUALLY the channel will come alive just briefly. I have also...

Harris County, Texas (TxWARN P25) Sheriff's Office is bad about this also. They have some units who will knock your socks off when they transmit but the rest of the folks are at a reasonable volume. QUESTION: On the SDS 100/200 where would the adjustment be made? Everybody uses the same TG so...

If I understood your message correctly, you did a "Read From Scanner" on your new scanner #3? No telling what was already in that scanner or how it was configured. A possibility is that all the "service types" are disabled by default in the new scanner. You can obtain and install Sentinel...

Hey Joe - The Sentinel v 2.03 is a ZIP file. Download the zip file to your pc and then expand it. The run the install.exe file This will over write the old Sentinel and replace it with the newest version 2.03 rev 00 As to what got changed ..........(I hope this copy and paste works)...

I just updated my SDS-100 using the new Sentinel v 2.03 rev 00 and now I have firmware version 1.21.00 with sub version 1.02.01 Looks as if the SDS-100 updates are working now!

Try listening to where you hear the Beach Patrol. Also listen for keywords such as "Broadway", "Seawall" or "Seawall Boulevard". That would most definitely be Galveston Island. Then the other channel would "probably" be the mainland Galveston County - Texas City, LaMarque, Hitchcock, Santa Fe...

Thank You, lebrunmn.

Is Whistler still doing the weekly database updates for EZ Scan? There hasn't been an update in 2 weeks. Anyone have the scoop?

HOW did you get version 3.40 of EZ Scan? I still have version 2.50 Build 692 and when I use EZ Scan and go to Updates - Check for PC Application Updates (or even Check for All Updates) it tells me I am up to date and that no updates are available. Even going to the Whistler site...

Changing the battery voltage label to digital error count is simple. Open Sentinel Click on Tools and make sure Target Model = SDS200 Click on Edit Display (the little rainbow box that has 3 colors) Two new boxes will open up Click on the Detail Trunk Tab Click on the area of the display that...

I see something interesting from reading your directions above, and I have a comment. EACH TIME you make changes to a favorites list, you should click SAVE to save that list's entries BEFORE you go to another favorites list and make changes there. Save each list before you make changes to the...

SIMULCAST DISTORTTION - The only page I am aware of on this issue is this one: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Simulcast_Distortion

Allow me to confuse the issue if I may !!!!! If you delete a profile it does NOT delete the favorites lists from your scanner. Those favorite lists probably exist in other profiles. BUT ........ If you delete a favorites list from ANY profile then that favorites list gets deleted from EVERY...
