We live on an island that's 9 miles long but the topography prevents line-of-site to/from all neighborhoods. Our FD Mobiles can usually punch through to Dispatch but portables can't make it, so we're exploring the addition of repeaters. My calculations say that we'll need two, one at the north...

I know I've seen them but all I can find is one for 3 and 4 on scan master.com Does anyone have an idea where I can desk mount for 2 mobile scanners?

It's great to hear a feed for Las Cruces/Dona Ana County. The wiki page has been updated with information regarding Fire/EMS operations: Dona Ana County (NM) - The RadioReference Wiki

I am not hearing either the low band or UHF Guilford County Fire simulcasts. Does anyone know what happened? Thanks, Gregg, N2UUp

Today i heard a fire call go out in Greenwich Township. The dispatcher dispatched it as a "Box Alarm" almost exactly like Hunterdon does. Requesting a specific piece of equipment from each station on the initial dispatch. I have never heard this before from Warren County. The dispatcher seemed...

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 don't have premium so I don't know if its there but I'm looking for audio from the working fire in Lanham on Princess Garden Parkway around noon.

What are the current systems SD Metro Fed Fire and Miramar Fire are using? The RR listings are a bit confusing.

I heard from a friend today CFD was talking to Canton TWP Fire about picking up their new radios down at the admin office, idk if this means they are switching systems or going encrypted or just bought newer radios, but im almost 96% sure they will be switching to encrypted since CPD is already...

Yesterday's fire at Morris dam up in Azusa Canyon. Last I heard it was 8 acres and 60% contained. Air attack knocked it down pretty fast. Word from the cyclist who called in the fire was he saw a car go over the edge and crash below, which then caught fire. Units that responded. BC-21 BC-22...

I have a TK880 that I am going to use for alerting via QCII at my station. The main reason behind it is I am tired of the Minitor and PR400 we have going from silent to rapid loud beeps and me wetting myself every time. Joking of course, however those of us at the station would rather enjoy an...

Does anyone know who dispatches U-City now?? I know they were on North Central, but I havent heard them get dispatched in a while... Thanks!!

Hi, I am head of the IT division of our fire district and am working on putting together a system that will record our radio traffic 24/7 for post incident review. Ideally, I would like to monitor and record three channels: our main talkgroup (dispatch and routine incidents), our secondary...

Broke out late Monday Aug 20 2012, fire appeared to start on SW slope and was making a run to top of mtn. Power lines down being reported. Nothing on the news or wildfire sites yet. Unit reported trying to get access from Reche Canyon side just now.

194 Musk Flower Court - two condo units are fully involved. FD on scene. Fire spread to 3rd unit has been stopped. Now concentrating on involved units. No report of victims at this time. Mutual aid to scene an for station cover.

Scanner just woke up with traffic for Div A. 2nd alarm just went out. Haven't caught where exactly the fire is yet, dispatcher directing engines in off Riverside Dr. Sounds like a brush fire in the Santa Ana River wash there by I-60. Gonna be a hot one, we're sposed to hit 100F here today.

The Northwest Central Fire Dispatch (Cook County IL) went offline near the end of June. It has been off all of July. And now it is still off. In my estimate it has been off for over 35 days!! Does anyone know why? how long offline before it is taken off the site?
