radio

Currently using a Pro-82 to listen to Fire Rescue (453 - 460 MHz). Considering getting a programmed HT1250 UHF to get better reception. I want something to listen to Miami-Dade Police. Specifically Site 102 on the system. Was thinking of getting a BCD996P2 to listen at home, and a BCD436HP to...

I have Police, Fire, and EMS programmed onto my two HT 1250's. After most transmissions on those frequencies, there is this unknown sound that plays. I also have MURS frequencies programmed onto the radios, and after transmitting on them, that sound doesn't happen. I don't have this issue on my...

Okay, I'm confused on how this works. I just made a contact on so 50... I thought the duplex mode was active, I could still hear the squelch in my headphones when I keyed up... But I didn't hear myself talking on the rx side... Someone did respond to me so I know I got through. How can I...

Hello! I was recently speaking with a fellow enthusiast and they said if you are hiking at ANF and you get stuck or need emergency help, you can tune to one of the main input "net" frequencies (admin, law, forest, service) and you can broadcast to them for help. Naturally, I am extremely...

I'm a member of my local fire department, where we have this airboat equipped with a dual band radio. It may be hard to see in this picture, but the antenna is mounted toward the front, right in front of the cab. Transmit quality is not great on it. Since it's a fiberglass boat and that...

Hey everyone, I just bought a Wouxun KG-Uv9 ham radio. Does anyone have experience with programming it? I watched a few videos but can't figure out how to program a repeater into it. I'm trying to program a repeater using Repeater Book. If anyone knows how, can you walk me through a step by step...

Hi all - we just took in a Motorola XTL5000 from our local PD that still has a lot of life in it. We have all apparatus and personnel outfitted with APX radios and therefore, each radio has an alias associated with it (D.C. 1, Command 804, etc.) These alias’ aren’t transmitted anywhere, just...

I'm going to be selling my family's AOR DV-1. This receiver has been handled extremely carefully its entire life and treated with extreme care. I will be uploading pictures shortly, but am making a preemptive post to see if there are people who will be interested. $1,200.00

I'm not radio savy so this might be a dumb question. Can I use a 430-470Mhz UHF antenna on my UHF ht 750 that's 403-470MHz without harming it? Or should I just buy a 403-470MHz antenna?

I am new to the scanning world, and in the process of purchasing my new scanner (uniden sds100). I am very interested in radio communications and want to learn about it, where is a good place to learn the basics? Thank you

I bought a Motorola XTS3000 two weeks ago from ebay, it arrived today and it is not programmed, it is normal that when the radio is not programmed when you accept it the green LED stays on and the screen is not seen and nothing happens? - Andrea

If anyone is looking to make something back on their scanner with a broken screen or other defects, please contact me as I am interested.

Hello guys, i have a noob question about the mic pin of this radio (in general). I am new in this world, and i don't know if i can deploy an audio file in this pin. This is my situation: I am looking to connect a computer to this radio: jack (computer) to RJ45 or DB25 (if it's possible). I am...

Hello I am looking for an inexpensive VHF radio that will always reactivate the scan feature after transmitting. I have looked at Baofeng and Anytone but cannot tell if this feature is available. To explain I want to have say 20 channels programmed into the radio, I want to be set to transmit on...

I have bought DSD+ Fastlane about 7 months ago and used it for a few weeks and forgot about it until, well today. I was scrolling through my email until I found the email containing my DSD+ Fastlane files. See, I went to the first email I got from them which told me to go to the next email they...

So I’m sitting around at work. It’s a slow day. I’m just bouncing around on YouTube, radio reference forums, google, etc... and a wild hair sparked a theory. Therefore I have to ask the experts! Would it be possible or feasible to use two cross band rigs in conjunction with each other to achieve...

Hello all, Just wondering if it was possible to have an Aux cable coming from a phone, that runs into my Baofeng radio and then transmit the audio? Like instead of the mic picking up me talking, it would pick up the phone audio output. Using for a special event to broadcast on speakers...

Does anyone have the Spillman CAD sounds? I am looking for all the ones they have... I've seen previous posts about them but they are closed and over a year old. Thank you for considering my request.

Diversification is the name of the game in today's global marketplace. :) Maybe some Tesla tomatoes to go with this?
