Hello, I am kinda new to this whole thing, I just bought a Uniden Bearcat BC125AT. After I bought it, I looked at the frequency I would use. Then i looked at the coverage map provided by RadioReference. I looked at the map and it showed the coverage area, that is when I noticed that I was barley...

Hi there. Last night, while sitting in my van listening to the scanner, it seemed to randomly stop receiving transmissions. My mobile (Baofeng UV-5R) was continuing to receive frequency 412.4625 with CTSS tone 107.2, but my BCT15X was not. I thought perhaps that my antenna got busted, but even...

I have a GPS plugged into my sds100 and it detects it and all, but when I turn off all of my favorites to use the gps as I'm driving, it says "scan mode nothing to scan". How do I turn gps mode on so I can drive around while the scanner follows my location?

I bought an sds100 about a week ago and I love it but I think it may have a battery problem. I get about an hour, not even like 45 minutes just on the battery itself and it doesn't matter what I'm scanning, while the big battery is boasted to last around 6 hours. I fully charged it to see if...

Hi, does anyone know how to make a pager channel for a Motorola HT1250, s then the channel will only be open if it receives an alert or tone?

I live in Bloomington indiana. I cannot pickup anything other then Dispatch, no car too car or talk around groups.

Hi all, I know this topic has been posted many, many, times before, but much of the information is greatly outdated. Especially in terms of broken links, old info, etc. I am seeking some help that I would really appreciate. I recently just got an amplified charger base for my Minitor V. I am...

Ive seen multiple older (closed) posts about this particular scanner suffering from a front end overload/de-sense issue, and apparently ive been "had" on this one...Purchased cheap enough but it does in fact have the BCT15X deafness above the 10/11 meter bands. Nothing- not weather, fire...

I am new to this radio thing, I have a UV-5R and have played with that for awhile but i am interested in how I can listen to the Oklahoma City Police Department dispatch channels on a handheld radio. I know the UV-5R cannot do this but what is a radio that would allow me to listen? I think they...

Hi, I would like to buy a scanner so that I can pick up my city, which is Lowell, MA and the surronding towns/cities including Lawrence, Methuen and most of Nashua N.H. This would mean I would need a range in between 12-16 miles. I have seen stuff like Analog, Digital, and Trunking Scanners but...

Considering purchasing a Uniden SDS100 scanner. Have some questions regarding if I will be able to hear frequencies in my local area. I live in Clark County Indiana. Will I need to purchase any special software upgrades in order to hear police, fire, & EMS frequencies in my area? Are any of my...

I posted a topic asking about decoding a NXDN frequency after reading about some scanners that have this capability. I asked about a way to do it if I didn't have one of those scanners, and the topic was promptly locked because the practice of decoding encrypted frequencies is illegal. If...

Hi all, I come to you for assistance or guidance as I am very new to all of this. I'm trying to broadcast over on broadcastify on this page and its been a complete train wreck. I'm streaming to the site using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a RTL-SDR dongle. I've managed to get Weather Band to play on...

So, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I've used my Uniden 436hp in my vehicles for a few years now have used a slew of different antennas from mag mounts, lip mount, etc. I recently picked up a VW Golf and picked up a Breedlove...

Hello, I am new to ham radio (I'm getting my license at the end of this year hopefully). I've been looking into mesh networking as a possible proposal to my club for ARES and I was wondering if there are any cheaper radios that I could buy that run on the 13cm band, if anyone could give insight...

Here lately, I've noticed that they aren't using the 460 frequencies anymore. I was listening to the South and North dispatch, plus the car to car frequency and in the past few weeks, I haven't been hearing any traffic at all. Did the GCSO move to new frequencies or....? If so, could someone...

Thank you in advance for any help. I’ve noticed when I place my SDS100 near my 200 the reception is choppy. This is a bit shocking to me as I normally have my equipment in close proximity. My second SDS200 has no issues being close to the other 200. Anyone have any suggestions about why this...

First thanks to anyone patient enough to answer my questions. I've been monitoring scanners for near 43 years so I'm not a newbie. Recently I have been ill and thus after I purchased both SDS100/200 I have run into a few roadblocks. Forgive me if any of the questions are too obvious. 1. When I...
