Looking for a users manual. Ferritronics the company is long defunct so no help there. Is there anyone who will share a .pdf with me?

Hi, I am located in cass county, MO. I do church security and I am in need of some good frequencies to use. The main radio the team uses is the Baofeng BF-888s and I personally use the UV5R. We need something that will work well through brick walls and auditoriums and be legal, plus we need as...

Just a curious question to all who are interested in discussing. How many think its time for the FCC to change some of the rules on CB radio, and allow companies to start adding some modern features to 11 meters. Currently I use CB radio still, my wife, and brother use them for personal use...

What is the easiest/quickest way to search for the proper PL / DPL Tone needed to open the repeaters receiver? In other words how can I quickly search for the proper Tone that I need to transmit in order to operate or use the repeater? Obviously if the repeater is using the same TX/RX Tone it...

Hi There, I'm new to Radio Comms so i need your help with this. I am a Cashier at my local Wal-Mart and i will be a CSM (confirmed) once i turn 18 in Febraury of 2017 and i would like to use my own radio. I also do returns all around the store all the time or a CSM has me watching the Front End...

Hello! I recently acquired a Motorola bpr40, but it cannot be programmed. However, I do have other radios that can be programmed very easily, so I reset the bpr40 to its factory default frequency. Do any of you know the default DCS/CTCSS codes for the bpr40?

Hey guys I'm just getting into GMRS and recently purchased a Kenwood TK-8150. Originally I was going to just use simplex but I was actually able to find a repeater. I'm having a couple issues connecting to the repeater. I have two radios setup, one being the Kenwood TK-8150 and the other...

I have an ICOM 621-2-TR running conventional UHF in the business band. It transmits fine, but on receive it seems very insensitive. Even with the monitor button on, it only picks up very strong signals. I have tested the antenna (1/4gp) with and adapter to a HT and the antenna is fine. My...

My go to scanner for monitoring CHP has been the PSR-310. Especially when mobile, I monitor CHP above most else. Because they are on low band VHF, and the re-use of frequencies throughout the state of CA, I always program CTCSS codes. ALL of my scanners handle them well except for the...

Hey guys, I need some help and I'll try to keep it short. My friend is trying to acquire 2 radios for his ambulance here in New Jersey. He's looking at Motorola Spectra A5 VHF 146-174 50W 128Ch The problem is he wants to make sure this radio conforms to NJ's DOH minimum requirements. Below 2...

I have a RadioShack Pro97 scanner. I've been trying to set it up for repeaters. I've put in all of the local frequencies and tones but I get nothing. I'm assuming that the MODE should be CT as that's the only way I can enter a TONE. I don't know what the bank type should be. (i.e. CONV...

I am having trouble getting my local PD / Sheriff frequencies to come in clearly. The two freqs I am having trouble with are 465.1000 and 465.3000 . They do not seem to be listed in the RR database. Jefferson County, Iowa (IA) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference Many that are...

Ok so I programmed a Freq to listen to, but the problem is that this frequency has more than one user so I programmed the CTCSS tone to block out the noise I don't want to hear. The other user of this frequency is about 10 miles away, while the one I want to listen to is 2 miles away, a stronger...

I have programmed my radios 7 ways from sunday and cannot get CTCSS to work, the radios are not squelching out other signals that are not carrying the encode/decode tones... I have several ham radios and often program them with CTCSS tones with no issue, but this vertex is making me crazy ...

I have a radioshack 20-197 digital trunking scanner, and I got most of it figured out. The thing that seems to be my only problem relates to the CTCSS Hz field. If I have it populated with the information off this site, I can hear the radio chatter. For all the other frequencies I entered, i...

I have had my new Yaesu FT-1900R 2m 55w mobile radio for less than a week. Last night when I was transmitting the radio turned off by its self and turned back on. Then the front buttons on the radio (besides the power button) would not work. So I performed a complete reset of the micro processor...

I have a PRO-106 and am using Win500 V01.82. A frequency using a CTCSS tone signals that there is another user or potential user of that frequency. Whenever SEARCH discovers a TONE and I SAVE the frequency/tone pair, there is a nagging thought about what future pairs will be missed. As an...

I thought I would make a thread about CTCSS and DCS codes in the Rockford area. I am running a BC898T scanner that can quickly search for these codes, and this is the list that I have came up with so far (1 hour). Please feel free to add to the list. CTCSS and DCS codes for the Rockford...

I was wondering if anyone had a RadioShack PRO-197 and had the PL tone decode mode set. If so how fast does it take the scanner to decode the tone and open up to monitor? I know the BC895XLT took about 1-2 seconds to decode the PL then open up. I was wondering if this was close to immediate...

My BCT-15 sometimes misses up to half a second of transmissions on some frequencies with CTCSS enabled. I can set here with my PRO-136 (no CTCSS) and BCT-15 held on the same frequency, and the BCT-15 usually misses the first quarter second, and sometimes half a second of transmissions. However...
