In the past (although I've heard rumors they are deprecated) I have heard them use UTAC43 Repeater Analog. I have confirmed this myself when helping another agency with their interop plan. They don't have a license for it, but it was mostly used for traffic about Football games, Mostly to allow...

Like the ones that put people on FRS/GMRS/Itinerants to make a quick and easy buck? GMRS: Greenback Making Radio Shop

Good mentorship and knowledge goes along way. We owe it to ourselves to help those like those who helped us.

I'm probably like most people. I don't have time to listen to the feeds all day. What I am proposing is a histogram or time line of activity get generated along with the archives of the day. This would let someone like me just pull up the archives for say, a monday, and have a look at when...

I see that now. So why would he get essentially the same license twice?

What kb4mdz said. Maybe the antenna was damaged in a storm, or filled full of water? Even a moderate to high end antenna (~$2k) would be cheaper than a entire system overhaul...

This isn't a farm, please read the earlier replies. I monitor those SO frequencies. It's not just a paper screw up. Check out this license: FCC Callsign WQPK941 (GRIFFIN, TERRY A) It's to replace this one which expired: FCC Callsign WPTZ543 (Griffin, Terry A). They new license, which is only a...

Most of the info on that page has been sent him from yours truly. I can verify that it is correct. The PD and the SO share the same Central tower. As for the other part... I wouldn't say so. Smith Two Way is a moderate radio communications company serving a LARGE part of NW Arkansas, parts of...

Sure can: FCC Callsign WPSK985 (Griffin, Terry) Quite literally typical law enforcement type activities. There is NO discussion about farm communications, etc.

Sometimes I wish we had a legal question forum. I know of multiple licenses that is for "Use around the Farm and home." yet that is used by a Sherriff Office. Seems like he is selling his repeater air time, why not just license it "For eligible" like all the other for profit systems? Wouldn't...

I'm having lots of issues with that feed computer. The program would load, then stop working after about 5 mins. In order to get it to work again I have to manually restart it, just to have it fail 5 mins later. We suffered some storms about that time. The computer is spinning rust, so I think a...

... You mean ditto?

I know this thread is old, but the SO, while they have the gear (They all have AWIN Radios) do not use this 800 MHz system. It's nothing more than a piece of paper in a filing cabinet. Instead they use the 462.400 WPTG413 Repeater at that tower. That license is for a Business pool license, for...

I've put up a new AWIN Calls Feed for those to listen to NWA related AWIN stuff, since the other feed did not seem to capture Madison, Carroll, Washington, Benton or any of the counties surrounding those. If you'd like a TG to be added that I don't have on there (Or not aware of) please PM me...

I ran into this problem a long time ago with my MD380. Set it on the shelf for a while (read, 2 years) and approached it again. Same issue, couldn't find much help else where. I upgrade the fw in my MD380 to the TyteraFlashTool by KD4Z. I now noticed that the radio seems to be deaf. It picks up...

It is. It's a money scheme IMO. I find that a lot of them around here do in fact have the channels in their radio. "Oh UTAC41? You must mean U of A Events. VTAC13? That's Fireground" So now you can't just tell someone "go to UTACXX" you have to say "Go to Water A". This confuses them bc they...

No you aren't off the ball. Like you said it's the logistics that makes interop hard. The fireground channel here has historically been used as a command channel once on scene of a incident. They may not be actually fighting a fire on that channel. It's the go to for everyone in the county...

Excellent response! Let me take these questions one by one: The entity that works on the dispatch is a radio company a hour and half away. They would know how it works, and apparently they had trouble with it. Every time I've asked about what the dispatch is like I got the response of "We...

Totally understand, no disrespect taken. The 911 "admin" is no more than just two on duty dispatchers. This is a rural county/city type two-way system. I know they have a computer system there for running plates and stuff, but I doubt it's one of the more modern systems that allow linking and...

I'm not sure that's possible. I've not step foot into dispatch before so I have no clue what they are running or if that would be possible. Once FD gets on scene, they leave their VHF Repeater/Pager network anyhow.
