    XPR 6100 to Baofeng FB-F8+?

    At work we use the XPR 6100 and sometimes we are short radios. We primarily use channel 1 which I believe is 456.4375. I own a Baofeng FB-F8+ and I was attempting to connect to our radios, but I can only receive transmissions from our XPR's but the transmissions come in very quietly. I was...

    Noob Dual Band Antenna question

    Okay, so I am new at this to a degree and I have a question that I think I might know the answer to, but wasn't sure. Basically, my company uses both VHF and UHF commercial for on location communications. One group uses the VHF band while the other uses UHF band. I, however, now have a dual...

    Monroe County UHF

    Why does Monroe County use UHF? With the terrain I'd expect them to use VHF. Is there too much VHF traffic in neighboring counties? What's their reasoning?

    TYT T5 400-520 MHz handheld radio

    Hello all, I recently purchased a TYT T5 UHF portable radio, which holds 16 channels and covers the UHF band (400 to 520 MHz). It looks and feels like my Baofeng and Wouxun radios and cost similarly ($28 shipped, on eB_y). It uses the same programming cable and accessories as the...

    What's the VHF/UHF channel spacing where you live?

    Here in Texas we're on 20kHz channel spacing on 2m, but 25kHz on the rest of the bands. Having never operated FM in another state I had never given it much thought, but apparently a lot of places use 25kHz channels for everything, which is weird because 146.52 is not a valid 25kHz channel. Some...

    What is 33cm good for?

    FIrst, let me say the topic question isn't meant disparagingly. Everyone has their favourite bands to operate on, but I think our amateur spectrum is a "use it or lose it" proposition, so I want to use as much of it as I can. I've never used 33cm (900Mhz band) for anything, but it's right...

    Mobile scanning

    OK. I am new to Radio reference. I love monitoring my scanners and have 4 of them. I have read many comments/posts here about having 1 scanner with two antennas. Everyone seems to disagree on if this is a good thing (unless I just don't understand). What I would like to do is hook 2...

    AMR LA County UHF frequencies

    So I think the forums have basically covered the deal with AMR and low band in Los Angeles County. But what about UHF? I can confirm the use of Green 1 & 2 in the AV & Santa Clarita, but I need some assistance in finding out if the other UHF channels are still active. Santa Clarita 460.55, 100...
