Does anyone know if Florida FleetTalk has ceased operation or has changed operating band/frequencies? I have always had a very strong signal from the NXDN site located in Marion/Ocala area. For the last 3-4 days, I have no signal at all on the RR database confirmed frequencies (461.350...

I noticed then in the node page but when I select "Systemwide Live Calls" there is nothing there which I believe...

I have a BCD436HP and the last few days I’ve heard nothing but silence for Deland PD even though I’ve seen active calls being recorded on the Volusia County Sheriffs Office. Anyone else notice this?

Hello all you radio junkies! Lol Ive had a fair share of scanners in the past from when i was in my teens till now. I love to listen to whats going on around me. Then awhile back everything went encrypted, but i just recently discovered my area has fire rescue back on the scanner radio app so...

Hey all, I've noticed there is an area in Sunrise, FL where, without fail, my car's bluetooth is disrupted and cuts out several times momentarily. It has happened in several different makes and models I've been in over the past 2 years. This usually happens when I drive either direction on the...

I just moved here and looking for some help as I see the last entry for "Clermont" was in 2010. If I understand correctly they are on a trunked system. If so, what are the emergency services frequencies for Lake County and Clermont, and which handheld scanner would you recommend? Thanks in...

Hi, I have a JAX FD codeplug for an XTS5000 which I am going to put into a used radio for monitoring only--yes, I have the software. The radio is coming from a friend out of state and is a FPP. My question is, do I have to flash the radio first to make it for a Type II Smartzone ? Thanks, S...

Hi, Will a Uniden BCD436HP monitor the Clay County system? Looks like it, but before I pull the triggers and make the purchase, just thought I would ask. best regards

I noticed a pattern of grants in the latest FCC update for Florida, where multiple counties received grant for a UHF pair for their REGIONAL JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER and all are for the same frequency except for Orange County. Something to put in your scan list and note any activity...

I know the city's P25 system is fairly new (and still seems to be underway), but I was hoping someone had some insight to its current status/functionality. I set up an SDR last week and programmed in the P25 system and was able to pick up fairly decent audio for a few days. All of a sudden, it...

Using the Florida sub-forum for collaboration can be problematic because things scroll off the first page and also some folks may not want to read through the process of verifying things in a threaded post. I've created some pages in the RR Wiki linked off the Volusia County page and some of...

From my location outside the track I can often hear the spotters on the roof of the grandstands, and sometimes the cars when they are up on the high banks. Here's what I caught during the Gander RV Duel at Daytona 1 this evening. This along with the second Duel race sets the field (other than...

Hello, I am new to the forum and completely new to radios and trunking. I purchased a Uniden BCD996P2 to do some independent journalism and to no surprise, programming is a nightmare. I tried using freescan to program the settings straight from RR, but copy and paste is about as far as my...
