conventional

i've been waging the reception war with SLATER here in Kirkwood, and in that the best solution i've found to my reception issues is to turn my squelch ALL the way down. now i'm only listening to trunked on my two main boxes... and i started to wonder, what's left in the conventional...

I know there is no way to actually set a delay for conventional frequencies like you can trunked. But, is there a way to, sort of, trick it to basically be the same as being delayed. Would it work to set the same conventional frequencies in multiple banks in the same channel or in different...

I've been slowly working my way through creating and editing favorite lists in my settings using the Sentinel software. Very recently ALL of my analog (conventional) channels on this radio act as if the squelch is simply not there (turned all the way open), with static heard until a user on the...

Identifiers on digital conventional/P25? My county is switching to a digital radio system (non-trunked) and I was wondering how the county would know who is transmitting. Does P25 have identifiers (PTTID) like MDC1200 or is there something else that digital radios do that the console...

Hello, We are currently using a trunked Motorola Smartnet II radio system. Many of the system's users have went with other technology but we are currently cash strapped. Is it possible to take the five Quantar 800MHZ repeaters (model # T5365a) and make it into a five site conventional system...

I'm new to Trunked Systems, but I've noticed something odd with my RS iScan PRO 107. If I create a Playlist with only Trunked Systems and play only that Playlist, I get a lot of activity from the Trunked Systems. If I add conventional channels to the Playlist or created a separate playlist and...

I am moving to Dallas and programming my scanner for the area. I was curious why Dallas Police and Fire are still using conventional UHF systems and not digital or trunking. Just seems like a city that big would need more police channels than those that are shown. There is also a conventional...

I have a growing fleet of APX7000's at work and we have an agreement with the system owner that allows us to program the conventional channels of the radio and I don't diddle with the trunked stuff. The trunked system is protected with an ASK anyway... I can read the radios, edit the...

The wife and I will be camping there this spring. Last weekend we drove to the annex to look around. The camping office (on the right hand side, just before you go in the gate) had several antennas on the back end of the building. They did not appear to be the right length for either the 400...

I just got a 396xt that was preprogrammed for my county. I am new to digital scanners but have had analog ones for years. When I scan it seems to only pick up the digital ones that were preprogrammed. However I believe they preprogrammed even the analog channels too. I cannot find anywhere...

So, I am trying to program one city in bank 2, and another in bank 1. The problem is that one city used a trunked system for the police and conventional for fire district. I have read that you can program conventional channels in the same bank as trunked channels as long as the bank is set to...

Have a quick question. Is there any possible way to raise the volume on the Motorola XTS 3000? I would like to use it as a handheld however the volume is too low and I cannot hear my dispatcher or other officers. Also using the Astro software is there a way to have a PTT permit tone for the...
