I hope everyone will forgive me for asking a question that's not specifically about FDNY radio. I've noticed as I listen that they seem to have LOTS of manhole fires and smoke from manhole calls. I don't hear that so much down here in Atlanta and I was just wondering if the manholes up there...

Is anyone familiar with Listening to RR on the I Phone ? I understand there is a app called 5-0 radio. I have many LEO's as well as Fire men and EMA that want to hear my Feed on their I Phone., any help or knowledge with this would be greatly appreciated .

As of late I have been hearing information on VHF Frequency 154.190, which is sounding like FD/EMS-type chatter. I have been listening from Greeley, Weld County CO from Feb 16 to Feb 17 this year and nowhere in the immediate surrounding counties have I been able to look up information for this...

Ok, so I just bought a pro-164 and I'm new to scanning and I had a few questions. 1. I figured out how to add the trunked frequencies, and how to add the talkgroups, but some of the frequencies when I tune into them, give this strange tone and it says something like MOT: Control xx%, I'm...

Hello, I had a question about the Software versus the Firmware on the Radio. I plan on getting an Icom F-5061 mobile Radio. The Software, which all that comes up on a Google search, is a revision 1.0, and I am unsure if this is the latest or not. Now I have heard that there is a newer version...
