Anyone know what it is? Not listed in database. Why I am asking. Thanks...

I apologize if this topic has already been addressed but I did not see it anywhere. I am about to purchase a new scanner. I have narrowed it down to either the Uniden HP-2 or BCD436HP. I have been out of scanning for a few years and was looking for some advice. Any input on which unit would...

Hi, I am using the Uniden HomePatrol-1. I am using a favorites list to pick up just the channels in my city. The problem that I am having is that my radio isn't picking up any of the channels that list "proprietary" in the channel description. The channels are in the Shiawassee County Law...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum but have been lurking for a while. I am trying to get access to HVA, specifically their central ops. I am a bit confused on the current status of the system. I am using a pro-96 scanner, and tried to gain access to the Washtenaw county frequencies of MPSCS...

First of all, it's good to be back! I recently moved to the west side north of Grand Rapids and I finally broke out my old BC796D for the first time in a LONG TIME. I am working on programming it up for my new area. This is probably a stupid question, but here it goes -- Regarding the...

I have a BCD396T Uniden and I am trying to use Proscan to upload MPSCS into it. I can retrieve the data but when I attempt to import it I get a message saying I am trying to put two sites into a one site scanner. When I pick only Washtenaw selections I can import them and upload them into my...

Hi, Kevin here. I'm 2 weeks in with the pro 106 using the arc500 to program it. I live in washtenaw county and hear nothing but garble, occasionally I'll hear something but not much as it cuts in and out...even tho it shows a strong signal. I have it programed with the right MPSCS P25AUTO...

I have a dilemma I hope some of you can help me with. I am looking at purchasing a scanner. I am a HAM and have programmed many scanners in my day, however never a trunking scanner with GPS. Here is what I want to do. My goal is a scanner that I will have in my car while I travel all of the...

The MPSCS thread seems mostly for TG ID, sorry if I should have posted this there. I have just started looking at radio ID's (I had overlooked this setting) and I want to see if I have the format figured out: First digit: MPSCS region Next 2 digits: county number (if 00, then a statewide or...

I was bored so I thought that I would try to find out what info there was out there for the MPSCS microwave backbone. It turns out that there is more information on fcc.gov than I know what to do with. I started with the Western U.P. and got a few counties complete. I have no idea if this is...

From the Free Press, 2 January 2010: I wonder how this move will affect the DPD's talkgroups on the MPSCS. Detroit police to dive back into precincts | freep.com | Detroit Free Press

I used ARC-XT Pro to download the MPSCS System (thank goodness for RR!), but all the sites have the same name and, as far as I can see, no further identifying information. I'd like to put the GPS data for each site in my 996XT, but don't see a way to identify which downloaded site is which...

Hi, I'm a digital newbie so please be gentle. I'm upgrading to digital with the Pro-197 from a RS Pro-2052. I live in Macomb County, Michigan and would love to get most cities within this county. police, fire, ems, etc. I wasn't really that experienced with the 2052 but it was easy enough to...

The FD I work for is going to be going over to MPSCS shortly, along with the rest of the county. I have approached our chief about purchasing a base scanner for each of our stations, so we can monitor more than the duty radios are going to be programmed for. (We don't need or want to monitor...
