(Part 2): Personal Batwings: Over the years I acquired a bunch of Motorola’s myself. Most were purchased at hamfests or surplus sales. Some I rescued from the trash heap and others were assigned to me from work. My first Motorola radios I owned were a pair of HT220’s that were given to me by...

With over 40 years as a police officer, firefighter, medic and dispatcher, as well as the supervisor of a 9-1-1 center for many years I have used and managed mostly Motorola radios. While there were some GE and Kenwood land-mobile stuff here and there for the most part it the radios were from...

It is not too bad. I do have the radios on the right connected to the speakers on the right etc. When I get some new black label tape I will label each speaker with the radio it is connected to. I usually have only 1-3 radios with the volume up at a time, they are all logging activity all the...

The 2026 Buckeye Air Fair will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 13-15 2026 at the Buckeye Airport, south of I-10 on Palo Verde Road. This is a nice expo, with aircraft on display, lots of family friendly booths and sales as well as air shows each day. The Advisory Tower (Coordinating...

Update for Early February: Of course I couldn't leave it alone. This time it is just a minor evolution. I moved the SDS100 and SDS150 to the left side of the desk and added speakers for the scanners. I also have similar speakers for the ID-5100 and IC-7300 placed on top of the console at the...

I can do that with Win4Icom with my OG 7300.

Another year has come and gone. I meant to post this a month ago but forgot about it as I got busy with other stuff. New radios: Of course, the big news is the Uniden SDS150. This little secret was well kept all thru the beta process, no leaks like that of the SDS100. No real rumors, just one...

The one I have is this one: Premium Series 4U x 3 (12U) Desktop Slant Triple Bay Studio Any 3-bay cabinet is going to be 60 inches more or less* due to the 19-inch bay width. If that is too wide consider a 2-bay solution like one of these: Double Bay Straight Racks. You might also want to...

That was the issue I was having with the Mac. I use my Mac for writing, video and audio stuff, my financial stuff and watching TV. As I have un-diagnosed ADD of sorts I cannot sit and watch TV, so I have it on as a distraction or background. I found the 27" monitors to be perfectly sized for my...

The cabinet is 60 inches wide, 12 inches deep (at the bottom) and 10.5 deep at the top.

I suspect it is an issue with distributed servers if it works for some but not for others.

I have tried to search the Forums for a couple items and keep getting an error message. I have tried a couple browsers and computers and keep getting the same thing. I suspect there is something up... (down?)

For that 44 MHz. Meteoraid system I presume then?

Thanks! Thanks, great idea! My buddy was then able to decode it and got the same call as KF8YK found. That squares with the license found by KF8YK from the CW ID. I assume that the analog voice traffic heard are guys using "color dot" radios 451.800 has been reported as a common freq in some...

You can do things like Custom Searches, where it will search between sets of frequencies.. You can also enable Nationwide Systems and see if any of that stuff is active there. You can also enable the "Full Database" with whatever Service Types you want. Be sure to then set a small range...

On database scanners like the 536 Service Types are used to help you tailor your listening to a specific type of channel, such as Police Dispatch, Fire Tac etc. Each channel in the database here at Radio Reference (which is the source of the Main Database in the scanner) has a Service Type...

Another digital mystery: Over the past few months I would log periodic CloseCall hits in my neighborhood on 451.800 (PL 71.9). When I tune to the freq I hear a short polling type data burst every 2 seconds with a longer data once every 2 minutes or so. No PL is decoded during these data...

The first thing I would check is the SERVICE TYPES. Go into the "Select Service Types" menu to turn them on and off, any that are visible as "Off" select and turn "On".

I knew her before I met my wife, I think she was even at my wedding reception. I probably should have mentioned that after the walk in the woods I was picking burrs out of her hair (Big hair was in fashion at the time). She was very worried as she had a wedding to go to that evening that she...
