    Will Motorola XTS5000 Do MotoTrbo

    Thank you for your quick reply. Do you know if there is a radio (or radios) similar to the XTS5000 III that will do P25 and MotoTRBO?

    Will Motorola XTS5000 Do MotoTrbo

    I know the Motorola XTS5000 does analog and P25, but will it do MotoTrbo? Several local agencies (private and public) use MotoTrbo requiring CC, TG, and SL entries. I have the programming software for this radio, but I cannot figure out if I am able to program my radio for this. I was able...

    Newbie question

    Remember, the range is not necessary for the location of the city/agency you are trying to monitor, but where their radio broadcast towers are.

    LAPD Pursuit frequency

    If the pursuit goes out of the division or goes on for an extended period of time, a supervisor or air unit may request for all units involved in the pursuit to be switched over to a tactical channel (each bureau is assigned some extra tactical channels to use for this situation and there a some...

    LAPD Supervisory/Command Staff callsigns

    L (LINCOLN) indicates a one-man unit (as opposed to A (ADAM), which indicates a 2-man basic patrol car). Numbers ending in a 0 (zero) indicate a supervisor (usually a sergeant); whereas, 10 is the Watch Commander (regardless of rank) and 90 is the station desk (also, regardless of rank). They...

    New LAPD Radio System?

    Possibly. This looks more like something to replace their MDTs (on-board computers). He made it seem like it would replace their radio system. But maybe he was hearing about the FirstNet system.

    New LAPD Radio System?

    An LAPD friend of mine said LAPD is experimenting with a new IP-based/cell-based radio system. He said they are testing it now. Has anyone heard about this?

    XTL/XTS5000 XTS5000 Programming 700 MHz - shows up red and error

    Yes, conventional. CHP mobile extender/HTs to be more specific. And then LAFD later. Here is an example: Frequency Input 769.44375 799.44375

    XTL/XTS5000 XTS5000 Programming 700 MHz - shows up red and error

    Hello, I am trying to program some 700 MHz band frequencies (to monitor/scan) into my XTS5000. However, the program shows the RCV and TX frequency as red (as an error). I want it to be RCV only (I know how to to that), but I read in previous posts I need to put in the TX frequency first, the...

    XTL/XTS5000 XTS5000 Programming Scan List Questions

    Awesome. That did the trick. Thank you so much. :) Now I am realizing I need more personalities than I previously thought.

    XTL/XTS5000 XTS5000 Programming Scan List Questions

    I have a couple of questions about programming my XTS5000 regarding the scan feature. 1). Is there a way to program a specific scan list per zone? I have two scan lists, but they seemed to have been randomly assigned to a couple of zones. The radio came preprogrammed from whom I purchased...

    SDS100/SDS200: Updating Database: Does This Update Favorites List?

    Thank you all for your responses. This is as I suspected: I will have to do it manually. Wouldn't that be nice if there was? Options!

    SDS100/SDS200: Updating Database: Does This Update Favorites List?

    I just recently got an SDS100. I downloaded the latest firmware and database to the Sentinel Software. I had previously had data there, including my Favorites List, from my BCD436HP scanner. When I update the database, does it update my Favorites List data, as well, or do I need to manually...

    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 Terrible Reception

    What about P25 (e.g. LAPD), should that be set to FM or NFM? When is NFM used?

    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 Terrible Reception

    I just recently got the SDS100 a few days ago. I have had my BDC396T for a few years. I put them side-by-side and tuned into a local LAPD dispatch channel (conventional P25) and put the channel in hold mode, using stock antennas on both and both set to 2 on the squelch. My 396 would pick up...

    Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes

    That would be a great idea... probably can be done via a software/firmware update. If only Uniden read our suggestions.

    ICI Trunked System - Posts your new findings here!

    I just got a Uniden SDS100, and still hear nothing on ICIS. I listened for about an hour. I am monitoring from the Mission Hills area (near the 405 and the 118 fwys). I thought I would at least hear San Fernando and possibly Burbank and Glendale. I hear LAPD, LASO, LAFD, CHP, and others just...
