trunking

I have a Uniden bcd536hp scanner and have it programmed to transmit the local police and ems but there are two channels that are not being picked up by the scanner, one is 5 miles away, the other maybe 10 to 12 miles away. I reprogrammed the scanner thinking I had too many frequencies for the...

Icom seems to have stagnated in further IDAS development. Kenwood is now offering DMR. Is NXDN destined to go the way of the Dodo in the USA? I'd like to hear opinions regarding continued investment in expanding a trunked NXDN system is worthwhile or change direction to a build a trunked DMR...

Hi all, I am a big scanner listener, especially on fire frequencies. I live in Buncombe County, NC. Recently, I heard fire dispatches that told units to go to Fire Tac 3 and Fire Tac 4. However, the RR page for the Buncombe County P25 trunk system only covers Fire Tac 1 and Fire Tac 2, not 3...

Putting this question out there to see if anyone has had similar thoughts. I have OP25 successfully running on a dedicated xUbuntu machine and have explored it thoroughly. But I was wondering if implementing talkgroup priorities would be possible. I imagine this would be implemented in...

I live in northern Wisconsin Dead center between two counties Ashland and Bayfield. I just bought the WS 1040 because it's specs say it can handle PS25 trunking. I download the PSREdit500 software and installed it. 1.I was able to work my way through importing a trunking database from...

Hello guys and gals, this is my first post here so forgive me if I'm breaking any rules! I've been having an issue transmitting on a particular TDMA/FDMA DDM enabled Talkgroup. - CH 1 and CH 2 are under a single personality as two different talkgroups. We'll refer to CH 1 as "LMR" and CH 2 as...

Good morning everyone! I just bought a BCD436HP scanner in Mexico, and I can´t figure out how to scan trunked radio systems. I have no problem with the conventional mode, but I would like to know what are the steps to program a trunking discovery in order to start scanning "from scratch". What...

I'd like to share my experiences in using an XTS5000 to monitor local digital trunking. And my opinions. For me, I am a Motorola buff. Love em (when you can get past the awful RSS/CPS). Once I learned the right way to program this radio via the hidden channel method, I have never had anything...

Many years ago I had a scanner but I have been out of the game for quite some time, I have what I would consider an above average understanding of how digital trunking radio works, I do not know everything by any stretch of the imagination. The thrust of my question has to do with the scanners...

I want to scan SFPD ( San Francisco Police Dept.) only while I am in San Francisco. When I input the zip code, I also get surrounding cities which I do not want to get. Please help, thanks

Hi Have been out of the scanner world for a few years, trying to get back into it, but I know that a lot has changed in the last few years. Looking for a cheap(money) portable trunk tracking radio that will scan the Phase II. I am Madison County, IL and most everybody in this county is on...

Hello RR World, I've not posted before, and to be honest, I'm not quite sure if I'm posting in the right area or if it's been answered, but I really need some help on programming an 6550 to do LTR. I am a beginner and trying to trouble shot my way through this for work. First off, I am...

I am working on gathering used equipment to put together my own trunking repeater. What I need to know are the specifics on what is actually needed. I have 3 Motorola quantar repeaters and a Motorola trunking controller. This is going to be a single site system. What else am I missing? Any...

First off, let me say that if this is in the wrong location on the forum, I apologize. Secondly, let me explain the situation and why I made this post. *Disclaimer - I'm no where near an expert on radio comms, just a little bit to be dangerous; I am talking to a couple companies to get things...

Hey everyone, So I have an XTS 3000 and I get the out of range tone on the trunking system only when its in the housing (like it should be for normal use). When I remove the housing the radio works no problem - i can hear the traffic on the talkgroup. I am only keeping the radio connected by...

Hi guys, first time poster here. I've been getting really into SDRs and radio monitoring in general, recently I finally got everything I need to monitor my local trunked police radio successfully and everything's working great, I even started my own live broadcastify feed! I have one problem...

I just can't seem to get the hang of how to do this manually and get it to work. I need someone to please walk me thru the basic steps and help identify why I'm having so much trouble doing this. What I'm trying to do is simply program the local police that patrol in my neighborhood and area...

Quite often the "T" is flashing on my display indicating that my scanner is receiving a trunking control channel frequency but I don't get any audio during that time, some channels I do get audio with the flashing "T" , some I don't or intermittent. Is this a out of range antenna type issue or...

I'm using the BCD436HP with the latest firmware. I’ve found three 150MHz band channels in my area that show “XPT” on the display when receiving the regular burst from the repeater every few seconds much like you see with the MotoTRBO Connect Plus systems. Each of these channels belongs to a...

New Radio System Will Allow Better Communication For Odessa' Saw this story. Anyone have any info on it? Are they going solo like Midland did, or is the, what seems to be, un-utilized, Wide Area Network being abandoned? Or is the network going to convert to Phase II? The impression is...
