I have a BCD996P2 & can’t get my local County Fire dispatch to work. This specific talk group is not encrypted, I have imported all channels correctly but still nothing. The info is below of the talk group I have been trying to get to work. We are in Washington County so definitely in range. Any...

I know there have been plans for Fayette county to switch to ISICS, but I've noticed fire and everything is still on analog as usual, but the Sheriff's Office's license for analog expired two years ago and from my location I haven't heard anything out of them on analog. Does anyone know if the...

I know that this thread will probably cause fights and be shut down, but that's not my intention... How come, in the US, public safety has for the most part ignored DMR tier II/III and instead gone to P25 phase 2? The spectral efficiency is the same, the audio quality is the same (as far as I...

I heard from a buddy that all fire apparatus on Fort Myers Beach are equipped with MOTOTRBO XPR5550 radios in them. They all sit on a channel called "FM BEACH". Apparently the radios are used to contact officials around the FMB area.. unknown exactly WHO it is who utilizes these radios... Does...

Hello, I am Part of the 911 system in new castle county. We use a 800 mhz simulcast/ motorola type 2 smartzone. I’m trying to use ny uniden G5 to conect to this system, but am having trouble. The system has convention frequencies, but you can only access the fire channels, and you cannot...

i got my no-code tech license in 1993... i felt like i was cheating a little, would i ever be able to learn morse like the real hams that could build their own amps and pass the advanced test... everything they did happened in amazing ways over the air... then a few weeks ago i was listening...

So this may be dumb and I’m sorry but I am new to this and need help. I looked up the radio frequency needed for my areas. I know some are still analog but some department went to digital. So I need to know what kinda digital police scanner I need also does it need to be phase I or phase II? I...

First off, I'm completely new to radios. I have a Baofeng uv-9g GMRS radio. I have tested it via NOAA to confirm its work. I want to use it to monitor my local municipality radio frequencies near me. I'm trying to program my radio through CHIRP. the freq. in question uses DPL 026 for tone...

Interesting set up.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a low cost DMR radio (preferably handheld). Looking for an easy way to monitor DMR channels without breaking the bank. Thank you in advanced.

Hi guys! This is my first message on this forum. tl;dr I don't know how to program these radios and I don't know how to know how to program these radios, but would like to! Also, it seems I don't know what I don't know and request further guidance. I have a lot of EFJ5100 radios with different...

I decided randomly to try and find a solution for my local area, to listen to fire/rescue and LEO after years in Vol Rescue/Fire and having LEO pro friends locally. TO this day, I have several handheld scanners we used to use for races to listen in-car, couple of Uniden mobile scanners, I ever...

I'll preface this by saying I'm not 100% confident in my understanding of trunked systems and how to program them, so if I'm missing something or making any mistakes please educate me. I'm trying to program a statewide P25 system into my scanner. Specifically, the Montana Public Safety...

Can anyone tell me how to work with this kind of control channel? I've tried sets on MOT, P25 and DMR but none of them worked. 👇🏽 Control Channel

I have what I need to monitor the digital and DMR stuff. I also have a vintage piece just to have. Now, what I am looking to find is the last best analog scanner that was offered before the digital days. Some criteria: 300+ channels, AM, FM-wide, and FM-narrow, 25 MHz - 1300 MHz, CTCSS/DCS...

I'm trying to scan p25 with the baofeng digital DM-1701 radio and I cant seem to figure out how to do it. it calls for a 210NAC but my radio does not have a spot for the NAC ??? and recommendations ??

Hello! TR-9 is an open-source handheld transceiver. It works on 420..450MHz band. You can use it for both analog FM and M17. DMR should also be possible, but the voice coder is proprietary. Have fun building it. Reddit entry on TR-9...

Have been doing some research on the radio and coming up blank as far as user comments or feedback is concerned. Anybody use them and if so what are your thoughts, and how does it compare to some of the other P25 portables on the market. I really like the channels, user functions and other...

There are several upgrades coming to Towns County 911 system. One includes changing to digital from the current analog system. I am trying to find out what type of digital system they will be using? The plans call for everything to be up and operational by April of 2020.
