Simply noticed this afternoon that Cullman County Fire Dispatch@158.745 had been testing out their new P25 radio system. Unsure if all the volunteer departments have new equipment yet or not, dispatch was toning out different departments last week for "meetings" to get new radios out. Didn't...

Some background. Our town is getting a new Motorola Radio Communication System (simulcast). To achieve the 95% Analog coverage goal, 2 new towers are planned in less than ideal locations. We could achive the 95% digital coverage goal with a different tower configuration that has less impact...

I'm starting a thread over the largest trunked systems in the country. I want everyone's input. I believe I may have found the largest but I may be wrong. I found the Louisiana LWIN system has over 67,000 users that's my guess. Anyone with input? ADMINS IF YOU FEEL THIS IS NOT THE...

I am preparing to install a Nexedge repeater at an existing site. I'm looking for an audio sample of an existing site that I can use for training presentation. Can someone upload a clip or point me to a RR audio feed that uses Nexedge. I know Kenwood and Icom have examples on their sites, but...

Does anyone have any info on the status of the Little Rock area upgrade to digital? How much longer maybe?

Hello, I am posting this because I am purchasing a RadioShack Pro-97 1000 Channel scanner and I just wanted to know if anyone has it and what their opinion is about it, I also want to know if anyone has any knowledge of it. This is my first scanner, I am new to the scanning world, and I am only...

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone from here happens to know what happened with the Perth Amboy Police live feed. It was up a few weeks ago then it disappeared. Secondly, not sure if anyone knows if this is true or not but I went to RadioShack to buy a scanner and I was told that I was not...

I was playing with service search on my 396t the other night and came across p25 on 154.800. A quick stroll through the database shows this frequency in use for Genoa PD, but does not show P25 in use. The traffic I picked up gave locations in and around Genoa so I'm pretty sure it's them...

I just got a Uniden BCD396XT digital scanner and have no idea how digital trunked systems work. I'm trying to program STL city P25 public safety (Fire, Police, EMS) and don't know what a talkgroup vs a site vs system frequencies are. Could someone please help? Thanks!!!

I've been listening to Crabtree Valley Mall (Raleigh) for years now but now on their frequency (464.050) but now I hear a digital sound on this channel much like if one were listening to digital viper TG on an analog scanner. Can anyone confirm this? And if so would a Motorola XTS P25 portable...

As reported in today's local paper a vote will take place at the council meeting 11/13 to approve a contract with Motorola. The contract needs to be signed by 11/21 for a price lock. FEMA money and a local match will be used to pay for the conversion. The actual switch is not anticipated before...

I've had this scanner for a while now without any problems. I reset it today because half my channels were locked out and had to scroll through all of them one by one to get to my desired channel so I reset it to start over. Now every time I try to enter a frequency from nyc out gives me an...

Looks like "they" upgraded their equipment. I have a BCT15X analog scanner. I know they went digital, I just don't know if it is encrypted also. I would like to know this before I waste my time upgrading to a digital scanner and finding out it's encrypted as well. Sound samples are attached...

I'm worried that when DRM and/or HD radio come along, there will be no more DX stations to listen to, since it's an "All or nothing" kind of a thing with digital. I'll be able to hear the local/big gun stations, but nothing from a long ways away anymore. I can appreciate that broadcasters want...

I know everything is going to StarCom low band and fast. I can't or should say I am having a very hard time keeping up! First off I picked up an old hobby. I did this when I was a kid and loved it. I'm in my late 30's married and probably why I am picking up a hobby again! (reason to rebuild...

EDIT: I not just looking a Motorola radios it can be any brand. If I had like a Motorola Digital radio. and I programmed it with the the local police, fire, etc Freq. with is P25. Would that work. I know I would have to program DEC,HEX, Alpha Tags etc. so I can hear what I want/ or am I...

Hello, I think I discovered a MotoTrbo system in/near Orange County. I am listening to them using DSD (digital speech decoder) on Ubuntu 12.04 and am getting the audio to work using AlsaOSS package. The radio I am using is a Icom ID-880H and I rigged up the discriminator tap using the ground...

I have had this problem since I bought this radio back in 2009. I have a digital Radio Shack Pro-197 and a old Analog Pro-2050 I have both trunked digital systems like the St.Louis city p25 and then I have in a separate scan block all together the old St.Louis county Analog non trunked system...

Last night, I was scanning through HF and kept hearing what sounded like 850-hz RTTY. It must have been on 10-12 different frequencies. I think I heard it on 3.925 and 6.750, but whenever I try to decode it I can never seem to decode it. I have tried MixW and Fldigi. I was connected online...
