Hey everyone,
I know a lot of people have posted their experience with third party antenna on a G5 with 700/800 but I can't seem to find post for VHF/UHF configuration. Any advice on what is a good antenna for the G3 would be great. I was wondering if the Nagoya 810 would work.
Thanks
Hello -
I have been detecting a continuous signal at exactly 462.000 MHz. While initially I thought this was GMRS, the GMRS channel plan starts at 462.5625 MHz, and does not appear to include 462 on the nose. I am able to pull DCS codes from the signal, however, they are non-standard codes...
I came across analog FM traffic on 468.5625. Listening for a while has led me to believe this is Berrien Bus. There is a fixed base dispatch and mobile units that check in from areas around Berrien County on simplex.
I have not been able to find any local licenses associated with this...
This is probably an obvious to most that are experienced with scanning, but will a mobile/portable antenna that is designed for a specific band ALWAYS perform better in that band than one that is designed for multiple/all bands?
Good afternoon,
I work for a local FD in the middle TN area. Just as a little background we cover 620 Sq miles and have 5 tower sites on an analog UHF system (yes, we are behind). With that being said we have many radio dead spots where are portables will not get out. We have had some sites...
Have been doing some research on the radio and coming up blank as far as user comments or feedback is concerned. Anybody use them and if so what are your thoughts, and how does it compare to some of the other P25 portables on the market. I really like the channels, user functions and other...
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...
If this thread better belongs somewhere better, moderators feel free-
I'm listening to a local business on one my of my Motorola P25 handhelds but I've cross tested this frequency on a few of my other radios that include Kenwood and the same thing happens where, ever so often, an interference...
It looks like the system mentioned in the (locked) 4 year old thread "East Haddam CT Approves New Radio System" is now online. Here's what I'm receiving in Middletown:
WQSA739: 453.400 82.5pl (Link / rebroadcast of 46.18)
WQSA739: 453.625 77.0pl (Link / rebroadcast of 46.22)
Can someone...
Hello all,
I have a question and this is the only forum sub that i could find suitable, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is moved.
I work at a Private High School in Birmingham, AL during the summer (IT Manager, Maintenance, and Security are all on my ID card as my position :LOL:)
I installed...
Hello folks, I have been listening to a frequency for several days now trying to figure out what/where it is coming from.
So, I have had my SDR connected to my only outside UHF antenna (usually used for my only UHF base radio for SARNet etc...)
but i hooked the sdr up to confirm and receive DMR...
I have a Motorola XPR7550 programmed up with local Public Safety and businesses, (RX Only of course) and I have been picking up DMR TGs on DSD+ and putting them in my contacts list so I can listen to them.
I have had great success listening to them, but something isn't working...
I have the...
After hurricane Michael a SARnet repeater was installed in Panama City. I have been monitoring it since it was first on air. but now there is no traffic. I even tried keying it up and throwing my call sign out and have not heard it comeback. I checked the SARnet website and it says it is online...

Hello everyone, I have 2 sets of EFJ5100s for sale with accessories, price includes everything shown. Both have all options enabled and 512 channels. I have 2 sets of everything and will do a package deal if buying both. I'll also include 16 channels of programming for free and with FPP...
Most large scale radio systems, especially trunked ones, seem use the UHF High Band frequencies to broadcast signals. That doesn't make sense to me. Wave propagation of 700/800/900 is very linear and tends to avoid wrapping around terrain like VHF Low (and to a lesser extent VHF High) can, which...
Hello RR!
Looking at the CHP database here, I noticed that under the Division Wide sections there are some UHF frequencies, usually just named "UHF 1" and "UHF 2". Does anyone know what those are used for? As far as I'm aware, CHP is usually on lowband. Any insight into this would be greatly...
Good day all,
A few days ago I purchased an HT-1250LS UHF handheld, was excited to get it, hooked it up to CPS & much to my dismay discovered that it doesn't do MDC-1200 (which I rely on heavily for Radio ID's and repeater functions & such...), it will do MDC-1200 in LTR Trunking mode but not...
Spending a few days down South, way down South! And brought my Whistler TRX-1 along for some entertainment while walking the dogs. The county P25 system is coming in great, even heard the NAS tower, but the trunked system has been quiet for two days. The last 12 hours or so I've been...
I was given a Standard C790L radio. I don't know much about it and there hasn't been much turned up on my Google searches. Hopefully someone on here can help fill in some of the holes in my understanding.
First off, I know it is a commercial UHF radio. I read one ham's website that a simple...
