remote

I've been involved in scanner listening for over 55 years. Recently I've been building an Android scanner app called SOS Lite by ScannerHeads, and I’m at the point where I need some real-world beta testers. The goal is to make scanner listening and remote access much simpler from your phone...

Hey guys. I’m turning to this forum with hope to possibly find a solution regarding DMR data (especially text messages) stream to smart phone. For decoding I currently use DSD+ but I want to access text messages when away from computer, over my phone. Is that somehow possible? Thanks and kind...

Do any airband scanners (like the Uniden 15X) support a method of remotely accessing the scanner over an internet connection? Im looking at putting the scanner and antenna in another house which is further away from a strong source of interference that’s near my house, and then if possible...

Hi Team. Looking for your suggestions on how to accomplish something, if it is even possible! I would like to run a Pi at my cousin's house where the reception is much better than at mine. With 3 or 4 SDRs installed on the Pi (could be a mix of Airspy units, RTL-SDR v3),I would want to be...

Hi, I have the Uniden GMR5089 and I’m trying to find a compatible Remote Speaker Mic. Any advice?

We have several Uniden scanners in remote unattended operation, mostly to gather audio for INDOT and the Purdue Traffic Lab. Starting with the BCD-996P2, we noticed that the scanner control port is now a plain USB port that emulates a serial port to the scanner. Prev models had a "real" serial...

So, recently the wiring for our station's MC1000's was botched. They now do not transmit. Does anyone have an installation guide or even a basic pinout of the wires for the remotes?

I recently purchased a headless XTL 5000 high power. I changed the control head from an 05 to a W3 HHCH. The W3 will allow me to change the channel and volume. When I key up the radio it will transmit the MDC info but the microphone doesn't seem to pick up any sound. I have searched the forums...

Hello everyone. Im trying to remote mount my older Spectra radio and im having trouble finding the right cable. Its an older radio (model no. DA4KM+067W) but from what ive been able to find it is remote-able. Ive tried to find cables but the only ones i can find have the DB15 connector...

I saw another posting on this Uniden forum where a user created an infrared remote control for his BCD536HP scanner. I thought that was a cool idea so I built my own. I posted a video of the design on Youtube if you are interested: https://youtu.be/luPVvZm59rI This little hacker project is...

I been searching the web for what the channel capacity the Orion D2UHG7 remote head system is capable of? I asked the seller and he tells me 16 channels, I know that can't be for a late-ish model Orion. Anyone be able to fill in the blanks for me? Thanks!

I work with three scanners. At home, I am running a bcd996t on ProScan software. I have finally configured the database to just were I like it. Now I want to transfer that database and configuration to the scanners I listen to at work. At work I monitor a bcd996xt and bcd996t. Both scanners...

Hello all, We are currently looking for a few good beta testers to help give our new iOS app a good run through it's paces. This new app, scan-streamer, enables users to stream not only live audio, but real-time scanner display info (talkgroups/banks, channels, tags, etc). Users of...

Remote listening This might be a dumb question but everything I have read talks about the ability to listen remotely to your scanner using a smart phone or tablet. So I am wondering if I will be able to access my scanner from my work computer (desktop) without having to install any software on...

Just inherited half a dozen high power TK-890 remote single band single head radios with KCH11 heads to manage for our local ham group. Applying power to the input lead had no effect. On the 9 pin drawer side of the radio there were two wires coming off of it: Pins 2 & 3 spliced together...

I need to place my 996xt at a remote location that is in a better location to receive signals. I also need to control the scanner, I need to record audio, and need to be able to erase those audio files from my home location to prevent my remote hard drive from becoming filled up. I also need to...

I have a mobile/scanner rack with 4 different scanners w/external speakers would like to put a different colored LED in each speaker enclosure to identify the scanner that the audio was comming from. Anybody have a small circuirt design that would do the job? The external speakers at not...

For the small portable scanner that I keep in my Jeep Liberty I wanted to mount a remote speaker closer to my ears. After thinking about if for a while I found a location and made a little clip mount. As per usual here's a little video of the build and mounting. Remote Speaker for Scanner -...

Years ago I liked to listen to the chatter of TV news crews and traffic patrols, but my 450-451 and 455-456 Mhz list is badly out of date. Obviously a lot of the comms have gone to cell phones but I did hear a KYW3 helicopter while it was taping video of a fire near my Pinelands location. If you...

Is it possible with the API to remotely update the News and Feed Alerts? I listen a lot on my Blackberry, and it would be nice to be able to submit the News/Alert information via SMS, email, web app, etc. Anyone doing this? Is it possible? kd8jhc
