    Something tells me that the system is held together by chewing gum, bailing wire and loose solder joints...

    EX600-XLS Programming Issue

    That fixed it. It had an old LTR system programmed into it, but I looked over it and couldn't figure out what was causing the error message. Anyway, I deleted it, and re-entered the GMRS stuff, and it took it.

    Abbree AR-2520 Software?

    Disregard. The seller sent me a copy of the software.

    EX600-XLS Programming Issue

    The only thing I loaded into it were GMRS frequencies. It gave me the error message when I tried to program the data into the radio. When I hit "OK", it aborted the upload.

    Abbree AR-2520 Software?

    Does anyone know where I can find the software for the Abbree AR-2520? I looked online and the Abbree website does not seem to have it.

    Houston Fire OEC 1 Channel

    I think OEC 1 is for internal use by the Office of Emergency Communications. Of the many times I've been down to Houston, I don't think I've ever heard it.

    Is this a radio problem or a software problem?

    EX600-XLS Programming Issue

    I have an EX600-XLS that, for some reason, won't accept anything but 12.5 kHz channel spacing. I tried loading standard GMRS frequencies into it and it gave me the "Only 12.5 kHz configuration is allowed" error message. I checked and all the frequencies are set to 12.5 kHz bandwidth. I'm using...

    Unknown Station at 9705 KHz 0900-1000 UTC

    I *think* its Russian, although I have trouble recognizing some of those Eastern European languages. Coincidentally, Radio Vaticana has been broadcasting in Ukrainian and Romanian on 9710 from roughly 0700-0900.

    Unknown Station at 9705 KHz 0900-1000 UTC

    Okay. I'll check it the next time I listen. I did notice that some stations had shifted around some of their frequencies recently.

    KTWR Guam sustained a lot of antenna damage

    Must be back up and running now. I heard their Balinese-language broadcast on 11965 at 1000 UTC last night.

    Unknown Station at 9705 KHz 0900-1000 UTC

    Recently, I've been picking up a station broadcasting in what sounds like Russian on 9705. It's a pretty strong signal (S+4 or +5 around here), suggesting it may be some sort of domestic broadcast station. The broadcast schedule app I'm using, SWBC Sked, doesn't have it listed.

    Bryan/College Station Medical Helo

    I've never heard of them requesting Med-Trans before. IIRC, the usual routine for that sort of thing would be the next closest MEDEVAC unit, which would either be Washington County Air 1 or PHI Med 1 out of Conroe. I suspect that if neither of those were available, they would probably look...

    Bryan/College Station Medical Helo

    PHI Med 12 operates as St Joe's EMS Med 12. They are still dispatched on their traditional PHI TG but do most of their operations on the St. Joesph EMS TG as well as that of whatever department that has requested them. As for Med-Trans, I have never heard a TxWARN TG for them. Where was this...

    P25? Robertson County and Hill County

    Just for reference, BVWACS is the Brazos Valley Wide Area Communication System. Once upon a time, it was its own separate system (used by Brazos County SO/Constables/VFD and Bryan PD, FD and Public Works), but it was later replaced by TxWARN. As for Robertson County, SO and Hearne PD are VHF...

    Retevis Retevis RB22 Programming Help

    I've been trying to program a new Retevis RB22 I just purchased. I've been trying to read and write to the radio, but I keep having issues connecting to the radio over USB. I'm using an OEM programming cable, and my computer shows no issues with the cable or driver. I'm getting an error message...

    Talkpod A36Plus: Need Help Finding Software

    I emailed them and they sent me a link to download the software. Unfortunately, the software is in Chinese, and there's no way to change it.
