Thank you all for the quick reply. I know having an antenna connected to the back of my 996P2 that's mounted inside my car will degrade the ability to receive, but we'll see how it goes.

My request is very similar to the OP. I plan to mount my Uniden 996P2 in my car. Being that the car is pretty new, I don't want to drill any holes for an antenna. Is there a flexible (non-telescoping) antenna that I can use that will still provide decent reception? I mostly scan VHF-HI...

From reading the OP, which did not give to many environmental details. In the example you posted, the 8.5 mile range wasn't handheld to handheld, rather it was his handheld to a base station (I'm sure with an outdoor antenna, likely a directional beam antenna). I'm not able to obtain an 8 mile...

No disrespect in my post is intended. In the OP, Niceguy71 wrote "Randy does 8 miles on the rubber ducky antenna!!!". Without knowing if the atmospheric condition known as "Skip" was present, I can only see this range if done in an open field (line of sight) but not as described in a rural...

ok. Thanks

So there isn't a way for my scanner to display the MDC1200 tone like the dispatch center does.

Hello. I have a BCD536HP scanner. In various cities around me that use conventional UHF-T band (analog mode) I can hear the unit ID transmission that goes to the dispatch center. Is there a way for me to see the unit ID on my scanner? I know this is possible on the P25 transmission, so...

Wouldn't each family member needed thier own HAM license ?

Does anyone know if the SDS series or 536HP's can decode the ring down tones for: California / San Mateo County / Central County Fire Departments (Control 2 etc.)? They used to use 2-Tone sequential tones, but now that the county dispatches them, they have swithched to the multiple DTMF tones...

Asking for more money from the US Government? The same Government that Texans refuse to come together on Gun Control. New radio's isn't what is needed. The school Chief of Police wasn't even on campus and heard about the incident over the radio, so he did a quick turn around and headed by to...

When I was a dispatcher for the City of San Mateo back in the 80's, we used Motorola QCII to ring down station and rigs. Now, very much like the county EMS system, fire is dispatched using a "multi-burst of tones" usually 3 sets of tones with 3 tones in each burst (beep-beep-beep, followed by...

Done

I can't find the post, but the OP stated that San Francisco PD was going to a fully encrypted P25 system and the San Mateo Fire was going to a P25 VHF system? Can anyone confirm that the City of San Mateo is moving to a P25 VHF system and when? I still hear them on their analog system. Thank you

I was able to get permission to install .net 2/3.x Sentinal is up and running ! I really don't see the many advantages that BuTel claims for ARC536 Pro. In my opinion, Sentinal is a better product

Yes, Windows Update is blocked by a GPO. Updates are pushed to our workstations using WSUS. The other issue is that Sentinal wants .net 2.5. We are currently using .NET 5. I run the risk by installing 2.5 that our current apps will not work correctly, and the IT Manager doesn't want old...

Thank you. Our System Admin must have the ability to download from WIndows Update blocked (we uses WSUS) Look like I have to go to them to allow this download.

Hello. Our company is converting us to Windows 10 Enterprise. I've been using the Sentinal software under Windows 7 fine. Now when I try to install it on my Windows 10 machine, it prompts me that is requires .net version 2.0 I go to the location in the link, and download .net version 5...

How odd. Thank you :)

When I click on new listings, I dont see my ad. I only see it when I click "View my listings". how do i get it to appear in the "new" section? Thanks

Up for sale is a Uniden 536HP. Complete with all accessories that came with the scanner. No add-on decoder's have been purchased for this scanner (hence the price drop), but it was sent in to Uniden for the RTC fix. If you are a serious about purchasing, feel free to contact me with any...
