So I'm not a dedicated listener of the scanner, but when I do listen to it I'd sure like to hear what's going on. I my neighborhood. So I guess my questions are. Where did our scanner feed go? Are we not getting them back? Why did it get taken away? Any info would help on this matter. From the...

Hello everyone, I'm SEK494 and I'm new to the site. So I purchesed a used HT1250 UHF for use when I'm working with my Fire Department. (Yes, Its all legal and will be programed by the sheriffs office.) Unfortanetly the screen is broke. I can not justify the $140 repair service. However, I...

I recently got an Advisor II pager and I have no idea on how to program it. I was hoping someone here could help me program it to go off for certain department frequencies/tones. Thanks, Matt

I recently got a Baofeng UV-82HP radio. I'm new to this whole programming thing to be honest. I volunteer with my local fire dept and work for an EMS agency. I purchased the radio to one radio that would work with both as each agency doesn't program the other in the radios. The main problem I...

What happened to the Seminole County Sheriff broadcast feed? The Seminole County Fire feed is still running strong but the Sheriff feed has been down for almost a year and a half now. What is the legality of setting up my own feed to broadcast those talk groups?

Over the past weekend I did some rather extreme testing on one of the Chinese made Baofeng UV-5R dual-band HT's and asked permission from radioreference support to post the link here. Love them or hate them the Baofeng took a lot of punishment and kept on ticking. Definitely a cheap HT, but...

Hello All, So I received a radio shack handheld scanner a long time ago and just dug it out the other day after seeing a bunch of police in my backyard with flashlights searching for something or someone. I have been trying to find the frequency to put in for Denville, NJ Police and every...

Hello, I am new here and appreciate any help or advice that anyone has to offer. A few weeks ago we bought a number of brand new Motorola Mag One A8 two way radios. We are a security company and some of our accounts don't have a place for us to keep our radios so the site Supervisor will...

Does anyone know what map book and/or software Sacramento county & city fire agencies dispatched by Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Dispatch Center (SRFECC) use? I assumed it would be Thomas Guide since many other agencies use that but the pages don't match up to what is dispatched. Is this a...

So I've heard this term a couple times now in different area's and wondering what this means. Can't find it on search so if anyone knows what it means that would be great!

I have a Uniden BCD996XT with the factory antenna and live just a couple miles outside of West Philadelphia. I used Radio Reference and ARC XT to program my scanner. It will not pick up Philadelphia Police or Fire.. It keeps saying finding control channel, same with chester county. Anyone...

Does anyone have more information on the new Wantage FD freq grant. It looks like a VHF-Hi repeater based system 154.3175 (input 159.2175). What's interesting is that the license is for both typical NFM and also for NXDN. I've monitored for the past few days and haven't picked up anything...

Is there a time line yet as to when we can expect to see TFS do a full move to the Toronto P25 system? I ask as it is in the 700MHz and if I were to buy an XTS 2500 for 800MHz I believe the new 700MHz P25 system would be out of band.

Does anyone know if Mississauga Fire still broadcasts on 414.58750MHz after switching to P25? I have not had a chance to tune in.
