While I am still in the loop, I wanted to make a thread discussing the new situation with Burholme EMS. While the Philadelphia Wiki has been updated as best as I can, I wanted to give a longer explanation on here. Burholme EMS Medic 96, will be merging with VMSC of Lansdale medic 345 in Montco...

Hi there my name is RYAN and I was wondering if I can have help finding some frequencies for the following talk group id numbers. I’m unaware of what the frequency would be for the talk group. They are from the Philadelphia area police departments. 237 0ed D PFD North Fire North Fire...

Hello. I’m new to the scanning world, I have a sds100 and love it. I have both Philadelphia Fire and Police programed. My question is, I’m trying to listen into the Philadelphia International Airport Police and Fire channels. Per RadioReference, the channels are not encrypted. Is it because they...

I recently began scanning in Philadelphia and seem to be having trouble picking up the Ambulance-Hospital reports. My scanner (WS1065) is receiving signal from the city trunked system as I am picking up police/fire dispatch fine, but for ambulance reports, there is essentially nothing coming...

I live in Montgomery County, PA and listen to police, fire, and ems. I listen to Philly police, fire, and ems as well. I have had a 396XT for several years and still hear a lot from both counties updating it every so often. Maybe I am uninformed, but if I purchased a SDS 100 would I hear a...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows what frequency's are likely to be used during next weekends regatta. Specifically I have trouble finding what frequency's the refs use during previous regattas. I am aware of the US rowing frequency's but never have heard anything on them. Anyone have any...

I might be moving to philly sometime this year. I grew up and lived most of my life in NYC and scanner listening was on of my hobbies. So what are my chances of hearing NYPD SOD and FDNY in philly with a decent outdoor antenna? I'm glad there's live feeds but nothing beats the physical gear. 90...

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...

Hello everyone, My BCD436HP works great for monitoring Bucks and Montco, but Philly police is sporadic. I drive all over the city of Philadelphia during the day so it can't be a location problem. The scanner will be picking up all Philly police traffic for maybe twenty minutes or half an hour...

I seem to be having trouble configuring my 800 for Philadelphia. I made the appropriate adjustments per the RR Philadelphia page and I only get noise. Could someone please send me the settings. Thanks in advance. Brandon, ND3U

As far as I know of, being original owner of both a Radioshack Pro-106 and Pro-197, I've downloaded Philadelphia Police and Fire via WIN500 and uploaded them to both scanners and I hear absolutely nothing coming from those active selected lists. I believe both scanners have latest firmware...

I have programmed countless Uniden scanners and I've noticed specifically for the Philadelphia P25 system Fire, Medic, and Citywide J, T, M will come across Zone 1 and Zone 2. When doing a 396T and 996T, the scan lists are separate unlike the XT models in ARC-XT. I will double up the talk...

Im new to this, I just got a new Baofeng UV5R 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band radio. I go to college in Philly and I wanted to know if anyone recommended any good Fire, EMS and flight medical frequencies in the range for my radio in the area. Any ideas and help would be great. Thank you

Line Of Duty Death: Philadelphia fire was operating a 3rd Alarm fire today on Box 1232 at 748 South 4th Street. All hands were being put to work. While on the roof Captain Michael Goodwin of Ladder 27 fell thru the roof due to a collapse and was subsequently trapped under the rubble. A second...

The city applied for an 18 month extension to the narrowbanding deadline in September, and was granted 13 months. The waiver affects numerous VHF and UHF frequencies throughout the city. They now have until February 1, 2014 to narrowband the affected frequencies. The full text of the waiver...

Does anyone know what the Philadelphia Project 25 channel Sites 101-110 with a talk group called "radio maintenance" are in radio reference webservice? I use ARC-XT to download frequencys to my 396XT. Sites 103 and 104 are the only ones that actually have frequencys assoc. with them. I was...

I cannot get philly to scan anything at all after downloading from radioreference using ARCXT. I have never had a problem before, I usually tune into montgomery county and Philadelphia County. When I look on ARCXT it shows all of the frequencys in there for philly but my scanner is silent when...

I was asked to post in this forum as opposed to Uniden forum about getting a BC396XT living in SE PA. I simply can't find info. showing if the State is still aggressive or not regarding the opensky program. The bottom line is that I don't want to buy an expensive scanner if it will not be good...
