I'm new to radio, so please just assume I know next to nothing. I have a Yaesu FT70D portable. I'm not licensed, but I'm slowly studying when I find time. At the moment, I'm mostly interested in listening. I bought the RT Systems software and cable package to make my FT70D easy to program...

I have a Radio Management Server (v2.146) running on a Virtual Machine on Windows Server 2022. For the life of me, I cannot activate User authentication. I have selected the option to add PC Admins as RM admins, no dice. The User Auth & Machine Auth stay greyed out. I have run as administrator...

Hi. When using the Quansheng UV-5R PLUS with Chirp, in the "Memories" tab, below the 200 memories are 14 extra lines, which contain the same information as the memory lines. Can anyone help me understand what they are for, please? Here are the 14 lines from my original settings: I believe...

Hello. I recently got a Minitor 6 to program for a customer and thought programming it would be easy… well for the life of me I cannot find a pinout for the bottom accessory connector. Does anyone have that, or know where I can find it so I can build a programming cable/cradle? They are $80 or...

Hi All, I've worked on a simple Mac OS software that allows me to read in my favorites list, easily rename them, edit the departments/frequencies etc... from my SDS100. But it should work on the 200 too. I keep seeing that everyone on Mac is busy installing Windows Mirror and then installing...

I hope this is the right place for this. So, I am having problems with HT1000 RSS. Shocking, I know. I have a customer who frequently brings me old Motorola radios, and I align them and program them to his system. Well, he just brought me some Visars and one will not program up. I was able to...

I’m a new user to amateur radio and this is my first device ever. I have a Baofeng UV-21R and I can’t program it at all. I just want to scan the emergency stations nearby to know what’s going on with all the sirens sometimes. I have no intention of talking, just listening. However I can’t hear...

Hi there, I hope you're doing well! Exciting news – my new SDS100 is set to arrive tomorrow, and I've been tinkering with the ProScan (PAID) software in anticipation. I'm eager to add the US Marine VHF Channels to a Favorites List, but I could really use some guidance on this. I've attempted...

I'm replacing old/expensive walkies at work (Kenwood ProTalkXLS and Kenwood PKT-23) with Midland BR180. Both use the same set of frequencies, and codes and I feel like I'm so close to getting them to work together, but I've hit a wall. When I press the talk button on the Midland, the light...

Hi All, Wanted to ask if anyone here has experience on setting up a single-site, voice on control channel configuration on a Motorola Quantar using the Intellirepeater system type, along with the correct APX programming fields. I have been testing different configurations and have not been able...

Hello everyone, I'm a new HAM member in this awesome community, so please take everything with a grain of salt. First of all, I DO NOT want any CPS programs! Just wanted to make that clear. Recently, I've received a donation of 4 old salvaged Entel HTs, which I'm trying to use mostly for...

Hi all - Complete newbie here. Actually I’m here just trying to help my (90 year old!) aunt. My uncle knew all about this stuff but he passed away several years ago so here I am! Her old scanner stopped working some time ago and she really misses it so she had me order a new one for her. I...

I have recently moved in Georgia to an area that is surrounded by what RR says are DMR TRBO systems. I have a MD390 that is “DMR” and claims it can handle DMR. One of two particular places I’ve attempted to listen to are Jenkins County and Jefferson County. I have attempted in the MD390 to add...

I am having trouble getting channels for a uniden bcd996p2. I used radioreference and imported into the freescan. Before hand I paid the company I bought it from to program. It just had 1 channel at the bottom. Now it has multiple channels and some channels come and some don't. I was wondering...

Greetings. I have a pro-92 scanner from RS. I have it programmed for Washoe County in Nevada, which is on EDACs system. I am picking up a carrier "Beep,Beep, Beep" at the end of each transmission. Is there a way in my programming software to eliminate that annoying beep? It's quite...

Hello All, This is my first thread started here or anywhere on the internet! Thanks for all your input in advance. I am trying to figure out how to import and export data in RPM 14. Whenever I use the data extractor the files all come out as .csv which is great, however I can't seem to figure...

New to radios and recent GMRS hobbyist. I have a VX-459, software and cord. I thought I'd see if I could program it for GMRS/FRS. Is this even possible? Is this strictly a VHF radio? I've got my channel list and corresponding details entered but I'm getting "Frequency Band Mismatched" when I...
