    Pi feed hum heard when using audio splitter but not direct

    It's not a powered speaker but good question. And you guys are right. I ordered one ground loop isolator last week and installed it Friday on one of my 3 feeds. That corrected the issue. I ordered 2 more and will install them on my other feeds Tuesday so I'll post an update to confirm that...

    Pi feed hum heard when using audio splitter but not direct

    After 11 years of broadcasting on RR, I decided I want to hear the audio I'm sending to broadcastify so I added a speaker adjacent my scanner to hear the scanner audio real-time using 3.5mm splitter. The new splitter (also tried various brands) or some conjunction of new cabling creates a hum...

    That's all it was - tower went dead for some reason. I switched to the Ridgeland tower with Rankin Simulcast as a backup since they are in the same direction. Thanks for the info guys.

    Good. I see you're in V'burg. Which tower are you listening on? My yagi is pointed at the north Jackson tower. Must be something wrong with it.

    Jackson PD/FD Freq or TG Changes on MSWIN? As of today, I'm hearing no radio traffic for JPD/JFD. Anyone know of expected changes to the system before I start researching?

    Pearl PD Car 2 Car (TG 46653) has been encrypted. I don't blame them at all for encrypting car to car. I just hope that's not a sign of things to come for other Rankin and MSWIN groups.

    Yes sir they are from what I can tell. I have heard every district talk on the MSWIN feed, but I have not listened to all shifts.

    I love that feature! Thanks for that. I see the problem now so I'll be able to repoint my yagi this weekend. Did you ever find an answer to TDMA? I was thinking Pro96Com would tell me that, but their website doesn't show support for a BCD996P2. Anyone ever tried that model with Pro96Com?

    It is using MSWIN. I will send you my config file through message here in a minute so you can take a look. I turned on my old bcd996xt a couple of days ago and did not hear JFD while my p2 was receiving it loud and clear. I could still hear JPD on the xt. I am still using the Jackson tower...

    They have already moved to phase 2 which is probably why you are not hearing them. I have them broadcasting on the Jackson feed so you can listen to this link and compare it to your scanner. I added a key up tone to JFD to distinguish them from all other traffic. Jackson Police and Fire

    Y'all are very welcome, and I'm glad to be of service. That's some good information about upcoming changes milf so I'll have to update feeds when changes go live. I don't usually find out about changes until they are live, and usually I notice a spike in feed numbers which I can only assume is...

    Yes, I am the feed guy for Jackson, Rankin and the airport. Nice to meet you too and you are very welcome. This hobby is one of the few I still enjoy year after year although it keeps getting more expensive since these new scanners have become mobile computers. At least I have been able to...

    I understand completely as I constantly keep a ravpower battery pack with me to keep my phone charged. In case you are interested in a phase 2 compatible scanner, the Uniden BCD996P2 is what I use for the feed. I have been a Uniden fan since the 80s cause they make solid equipment, but I'm...

    BFD previously used non-MSWIN but there have been a lot of changes in the last month. There has been a system upgrade moving units to phase 2 which requires a newer version of hardware that a lot of older scanners don't currently have installed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't...

    How to program dual band ham as Uniden BCD996P2 scanner

    Great information guys.* Sorry for the delayed response since I have been out of town for a couple of days. FKimble, you are correct cause I didn't fully develop my thought on that comment.* My mindset was adding a physical decoder to receive and translate P25 data.* Really I just like the look...

    How to program dual band ham as Uniden BCD996P2 scanner

    I want the ability to use a ham radio primarily as a P25 scanner. Has anyone found a way with a dual band ham radio? I'm not limited to a certain brand. I'm just curious if it's possible. I recently came across this Kenwood TM-D710G and a similar ICOM P25 radio. Would I be able to program...

    Rankin county sporadic reception in metro Jackson

    You're welcome. I monitored frequencies long enough to cycle through all the control channels and scanning by ID is still successfully working for me based on recent changes. All frequencies listed on the RadioReference directory are correct now so we should be set for a while. We're still...

    Rankin county sporadic reception in metro Jackson

    Yes, especially monitor 4880 and 5168. I hear Brandon school radio traffic in the morning then partial Brandon Police traffic in the afternoon meaning I capture the full conversation for school traffic but only partial conversation (1 frequency activation) for PD which makes me think these are...
