    Wondering how encryption works.

    “I'm just curious of an example of a encryption code? I mean AES256 for instance, is it just "ABCDF1873487934594DJHSGFD9584857HFKHFJKFHSF8957304" --- but 256 characters and that is what is done? Just some random string of letters precents people from hearing? thanks” Searched google, maybe...

    Looking for a decent base scanner that’s not too terribly expensive.

    The Whistler WS1065 is a bit of a cheaper option ($300 on Amazon) if you don't need P25 Phase 2 as heigtx stated above. Edit to add: WS1065 - The RadioReference Wiki 2nd edit: Here is something that may help. In the database click on the county of Atoka. Atoka Frequency License Type...

    Looking for a decent base scanner that’s not too terribly expensive.

    I'm not sure if that window mount antenna would be a "good" option for what your looking to receive but it can be a "better" option then using a stock rubber duck antenna assuming your home windows are not solar tinted. If you place it on the highest level 2nd floor window or above in your home...

    ARAPAHOE METCOM SITES

    The Thorodin and Lookout sites are not connected to the Douglas South or North simulcast sites. You will hear the tones on Lookout and Thorodin along with many if not all of the SMF OPS channels. Most of the stations and units are within range of and affiliate with these two sites. There are...

    ARAPAHOE METCOM SITES

    You are really far north of the SMF service area. The only "high altitude" sites you might hear that are remotely close to your location that I have heard SMF traffic on while in Denver are State of Colorado DTRS Site: Thorodin and State of Colorado DTRS Site: Lookout Mountain .

    Anyone know if any scanners can pick up Kewanee, Illinois, Starcom?

    Circa mid 80’s. Grew up monitoring PD dispatch in analog on 154.725. Westmont, Clarendon Hills and Oak Brook Terrace Illinois on this frequency. Brings back good memories. Edit to add: A bit off from the mid 80s but shows the shared services on this frequency. Downers Grove was on the 400...

    Ft Carson TGs quiet

    So Uniden seems to update the database on Fridays (I think?). Im not sure when this new system United States Army (98D) was posted to the RR database but I would expect that if Uniden updates the database on Friday you should be able to update your SDS100 on Saturday and it should find the new...

    Why is analog used more west of the rockies?...

    "Social & community related issues: such as a city never having any issues which would fuel a necessitated change to digital such as intentional interference, wackers showing up to scenes, instances of protesters using scanners and apps to track riot police movements to avoid arrest during...

    Why is analog used more west of the rockies?...

    Taking a wild stab at this here. This could apply everywhere in the US. Political related: city counsel politicians not seeing a need to make a change. End user related (Fire, EMS, PD etc): The system seems to work just fine for their intended usage, possibly cheaper radio equipment...

    Douglas Co South Simulcast -TG 1786 SMF (AVD) Dispatch

    Thanks abqscan. Today Im picking up SMF OPS 2 & 3 on the Douglas south simulcast site just fine on my SDS200 and BCD325P2, but not SMF 1 AVD Disp. That makes sense since most of these calls they're running on SMF OPS 2 & 3 are southern district stations closer to the south site. Note: These...
