Control Channel is transmitting on 772.96875 MHz, Site ID is displayed RFSS 2, Site 097.

I am attempting to update the firmware on my scanner. It is currently running 1.06.10. I have Sentinel Version 1.06 and my WiFi dongle is version 7.28. The USB is connecting fine. Upon connecting, I select the USB Mass Storage Mode and I can see my SD Card in the software. I can read and write...

The only problem with the Radio ID app is it seems to pull all the 2-Tone info from a standard Motorola Quick Call II tone table and doesn't actually display the tones that are being transmitted. For example, it decoded a Plectron tone set as 979.9 and 788.5 instead of the actual Plectron tones...

Marshall, Thanks for the input. I noticed that according to the thread I linked above that the band plan was obviously not being communicated to the scanner by the CC........ I am using a good variety. BCD396XT, BCD996XT, BCD536HP, PRO-2096 and PRO-96. Currently I only have the Welcome site...

Hi all, I am curious to poll the group here and see what others are doing when programming the 700 MHz VIPER sites into their scanners. I am a bit confused as to whether or not there is a special custom band plan needed. Are the any programming idiosyncrasies that differ between the...

Does anyone know what the Forsyth County Courthouse in downtown Winston-Salem is using for comms? The only thing I have a listing for is a single talkgroup on the W-S/FC TRS that falls under the FCSO for courtroom comms. I am looking for building security, etc. comms........ Thanks in advance. Wes

Both are good pagers, but at the end of the day, I'd much rather have my G1 than the M6. I became a dealer for the G1 back in December of 2013. I began carrying a G1 immediately (I have been a volunteer firefighter for 20 years) because I wanted to run it through the paces and throw a lot of...

I am going out on a limb to say I think where David was going with that comment is that on legacy systems the redundancy is simpler to maintain. Most trunked systems do have a lot of redundancy built in but the resources required to maintain these systems and their redundancy can be quite...

48 is actually the MOSCAD Fire Station Alerting......

Anyone heard how the techs are coming along with the switchover? Are they on schedule? Also Marshall, what do the asterisks beside the site name indicate on the schedule you posted? Wes

Hearing traffic today on the Fox Mountain site on talk group 52336. Sounds like VIPER techs working in the eastern part of the state.

Fox Mountian (Iredell County) VIPER Site is now on the air in P25 Mode. Control Channel is 853.525 MHz. Showing up as Site #239. This site never came online in SmartZone mode. I haven't heard any traffic on it yet. Wes

I searched the forums pretty good before posting this and could not locate anything. Has the High Point system been rebanded? If not, what are they waiting on? I know they have transitioned to digital but I cannot find any evidence of them rebanding. The database does not mention it either. I...

I would like 1-2 of these if anyone cares to part with theirs. Please email me direct. Thanks, Wes

The control channel interference from the Welcome VIPER site has been an on-going issue for scanner listeners all over Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, The problem is the folks who are only scanning the W-S/FC system with the 853.5625 control channel in the list will sometimes get locked on the...

The current transmitter is located at the WXII TV Tower and Hearst Television, Inc (WXII's parent company) "made a corporate decision to terminate all leases with any federal agency located on its property that come up for renewal." NOAA is a federal agency. The WXL42 tower lease expires on May 30.

Does Mooresville use DTMF on their old VHF frequency? If so, do they simulcast the dispatch audio across both the VHF and 800? Surely they are not transmitting DTMF across their digital talkgroup........

I currently have our department's XTS2500's and XTL5000's programmed to scan VIPER and the local SmartZone 4.1 system. Works just fine........ Wes

From my experiences, any tones below 400 Hz are not very narrowband friendly........ Wes
