I'm using an RTL-SDR v4 dongle with SDR# too capture signals from two nearby MCPs for a mobile ATCS Monitor setup to know when trains are coming. Both MCPs are about 1 mile from my location and I am able to receive signals from both using the dipole antenna that came with the dongle. However...

Hello I am new here so if this is the wrong forum to ask let me know where I can go. We'll start with the background information, I work for a small railroad that uses radio activated crossings. On our line we have 9 crossings with unique DTMF codes for activating and deactivating the gates...

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...

Hello all! Do any of you guys and gals know if any NS Frequencies require an NXDN scanner for NW Indiana from Lake to Elkhart counties? I just bough a Uniden BCD436HP and I'm deciding weather or not to purchase the NXDN key. Thanks in advance hope some of y'all can help me out!

Hey all, I was trying to find local railroad frequencies for Findlay, but RR doesn't seem to list any. I proceeded to check Digital Radio Search, but after typing them into one of my scanners, I couldn't even anything, digital or otherwise. Am I just being dumb here? Or is there truly nothing in...

Hi All, I'm relatively new with my SDS200, I bought last month. I've had very little time to read up on DMA tech or much detailed op of the scanner. My previous scanner was a yellow portable Uniden of some sort with a fixed # of "channels" with a ducky*. I bought that thing maybe 20 years...

RAILROAD: Winnebago County Area Railroad Listening What are the frequencies the local railroads use for the Rockford area? I thought they were listed in the RR database, but I can't seem to locate it now.

Hello, Thought I'd run this question to see what I people may know. I can not seem to find the correct frequency for the CSX railroad that is near my house. Here are the details: Crossing: 7491 Old Harding Pike, Nashville, TN 37221 Crossing ID: 348036X Railroad: CSX Milepost: 0012.360 There...

Just started to really get into SDR over the past couple of weeks and wanted to try to monitor local railroads to see how SDR compared to my traditional setup of a Kenwood TK-780 with a 160mhz tuned 3db gain antenna. I attached an identical antenna up to an RTL-SDR stick with the intent of using...

Hello Everyone, I'm not seeing a ton of options out there for base antennas that are tuned for the railroad band. So far I've seen only the "TrainTenna Vertical Outdoor Base Antenna" and the "RRBASE - Firestik RailRoad Base Station Antenna Kit". I'm looking for some feedback on these antennas...

Hello everybody, I will be taking a railfanning trip later this week to a familiar area (first time railfanning with the TRX-1)..now I would consider myself an intermediate guru, owner of the trx1 for 7 months, this is my 4th digital trunking scanner of multiple brands, I know my way around...

Hi all!, I am looking for a mount/a way to mount, a base antenna (DPD Productions TrainTenna Base Antenna) on my windowsill. Unfortunately, due to restrictions, I am not allowed to drill into the side of the house (it is brick anyways.) I was wondering if anyone had any tips, techniques...

Does anyone know of a frequency(s) for this facility? Thanks, Gregg (N2UUP)

I was watching a youtube video earlier and heard the unmistakable sounds of a MOTOTRBO radio being keyed up in the background. Can anyone confirm? Frequency is a 160.425 with a license showing of KNCS622

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLwxR-X_o9A When no trains are running, why not listen to cars get switched around? Yes, this is a true repeater machine operation for switching, the input channel the conductor and engineers transmit into is 160.290 and once it goes through the machine it spits...

I found a new listing in the Database section for the UP in Denver at 36th Street of 160.395 MHz, AAR Chnnel 19. According to my sources it is used at the 40th Street TOFC Ramp to spot the intermodal trains for loading and unloading...

I just recently purchased a bcd325p2 and I have been trying different bands and systems with it. Most work just fine. But for railroad, which I really want to listen to, the whole band goes silent when I turn on my home build desktop computer which I built a couple of years and has a top of the...

hello rail fans im trying to hook up my spectra rail radio up on my bench i had the wiring diagram but miss placed it any help out there let me know thanks shawn

I've noticed when traveling between Toronto and Ottawa that you only hear detectors on the CN road frequency from Toronto up until somewhere between Kingston and Brockville (Kingston 137 is the last one). Looking at the signs on the signal boxes past this point it looks like the track may be...
