public safety

Hi, I am Chloe. Forgive me if this isn't the correct area and/or a restricted topic. Has anyone ever heard any of the following traffic on a radio/scanner: -Unexplained -Paranormal -Freaky (You just thought, what the h...?) -Unidentified -Or otherwise just weird? Links to audio or 'video'...

I am unsure if this is allowed. I apologise if it isn't. I have posted a suggestion thread before, but never have I asked what others are listening to. Hi, I'm Chloe. 👋 I don't require assistance, just a chat. I love listening to channels I haven't before. I usually listen only to public...

I know that this thread will probably cause fights and be shut down, but that's not my intention... How come, in the US, public safety has for the most part ignored DMR tier II/III and instead gone to P25 phase 2? The spectral efficiency is the same, the audio quality is the same (as far as I...

I'm the feed provider for Kosciusko county 700MHz public safety, and it appears that almost all radio traffic (including dispatch) is now encrypted. Radio Service/Maintenance tests are being performed on both 700MHz and 800MHz SAFE-T systems, so not sure if the encryption is permanent, or only...

I'm updating our EMS agency's codeplug for portable and mobile radios. I'm adding additions for national interoperability, according to the National Interoperability Field Operations Guide. Since we're currently on UHF, I believe I only need the below channels/zones. I'm looking for any advice...

For anyone wanting to scan Carter County services, here is the CSV file that you can import to Chirp for a Baofeng radio. To insert the frequencies into your radio, open the CSV from Chirp, ctrl click on all of the rows in this CSV and press ctrl c once they are all highlighted. Next, download...

Can someone in this area see about setting up a scanner feed for North Myrtle Beach Lifeguards? I don't live nearby to receive them and would enjoy listening to them with a scanner feed. Along with some other channels on that system like Myrtle Beach TGs and Airport Ground Operations would be nice.

Hey guys. Just saw where some licenses have been recently granted (12/22) for Pickens County, SC. See here. Looks like normal FM and NXDN emission designators. I was getting ready to buy some XPR5550s for ham use and monitoring local but am wondering now if I should look into something like a...

I am offering for sale a Unication G5 (VHF/700-800 MHz) pager (model #G5B66BF-SXVXEN1401UNI.) Firmware version 1.31 is installed. Full specs, datasheet and programming software are available here: Unication G5 . This unit has never been used in the field or mobile, only in my home. It is in very...

When the MicroP25RX was first being developed, it was planned to add pre-select filters to various versions of the product for different frequency bands. Several people pointed out that 770 and 850 MHz bands have been combined for systems in larger cities due to shortage of spectrum. At the...

Hi, I just bought a Uniden Bearcat BC996P2 for my car with a nice sized antenna I put on the back of my car. I am able to to hear Toronto EMS & Fire TAC channels just fine, however when it comes to dispatch, even if I am sitting in one spot it more likely then not just show me "Finding Cntrl...

It appears that Loyola University Maryland Public Safety Capacity+ DMR system has unfortunately become encrypted recently. Has anyone monitored this system as of late to know when it might have changed to an encrypted network? It was not encrypted as of late 2019/early 2020. According to DSD+...

So our agency is going to trial Zello for public safety. Below is our configuration (simplified) if you're interested. To get to the point. I'm looking for a base antenna for a VHF Motorola PM400, the frequency is 159.6. Below are the options I'm considering, any thoughts or opinions? Laird...

So I have connected the GPS to my SDS 200 and I know I have the option of running the full database, turning individual favorite lists on and off as well as having the nationwide database run at the same time. I also know that there is the option of turning location services on and off for...

Most large scale radio systems, especially trunked ones, seem use the UHF High Band frequencies to broadcast signals. That doesn't make sense to me. Wave propagation of 700/800/900 is very linear and tends to avoid wrapping around terrain like VHF Low (and to a lesser extent VHF High) can, which...

Im hearing radio tests and kerchunking of radios and a new repeater courtesy tone on 154.0700Mhz(Morrow Fire Disp) and kerchunking on 158.7900Mhz(Lake City PD) frequencies as if theyre prepping them to be used by public works or some other city entity. Can that be the case or does public works...

Howdy, I'm a rural volunteer firefighter, been using an UV82L for a few months with no issues programming to receive traffic from the local fire/sheriff departments. However, I've attempted to program the radio with CHIRP to transmit dispatch via a repeater, and to transmit to local...
