I installed one in my truck last month. Excellent reception for railroad, and all local police. I went with an external speaker for better audio.

I had ordered an antenna for my HP2. It was shipped in a small, paper envelope, and it arrived crushed and unusable. Getting them to replace it was futile. I’ll never buy from them again.

I’ve had one for about a year. I keep it by the bed for times when I can’t sleep. I take it camping for evenings by the fire. It’s a great little receiver.

I got my Technician license at 62, after wanting to pursue it since my teens. I studied online, taking sample tests for several weeks. Recently got my GMRS ticket also. I’m not very active, being a listener more than a talker. Go for it.

The FT65R is a great analog radio. I’ve been using mine for 4 years. It’s always with me.

I took that ride from Flagstaff to Chicago and back a few years ago. I had my scanner, and listened to the trains, and crew. Great trip. Enjoy!

I hope it becomes available in IOS. I’d really like this on my IPad.

I use my 125 daily. I don’t charge batteries in it, as I have a dedicated charger for that.

I can verify the above 2 frequencies.

Dispatched under Prescott.

I hope someone chimes in with scanner reports. I’ve been on that train, from Flagstaff to Chicago. Reports state it was traveling at 90 MPH when it impacted the dump truck, causing the entire train to derail and lay on it’s side. Truly a horrific event.

Have you programmed the front of train and rear of train frequencies? Those should hit the scanner with a data burst when a train is close.

I bought this and it works perfectly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RadioShack-Scanner-FTDI-Programming-PRO-97-PRO-163-PRO-164-PRO-2055-20-546-300-/151646879997?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Something doesn’t smell right here. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/ycso-officer-shot-taken-to-hospital-in-camp-verde-gunman-sought

Not with the 163. Analog only.

I get Mexican radio after sunset on that frequency. Very strong here.

I get the defect detectors on the Phoenix Sub at 23.5 and 46.9. I’ve never heard a rebroadcast.

Another vote for the Icom R-30. Everything around me is mostly analog, but future NXDN on railroad lights me up.

I’m looking at DMR for my future. If it’s as difficult to program, it will surely keep the unlicensed idiots away.

I fear as the Fudds go silent, the amateur radio hobby will fade away. I hear too many idiots with CCR’s flooding local repeaters with obscenities, and foolishness. GMRS is also filled with jerks screaming “hello’s “. I recently put out my call sign, and was greeted with profanity. Sad times.
