Hey everyone, I am looking to get a Shoulder Mic for a VHF Astro Saber. I have heard the Public Safety Mic is not recommended on a VHF unit. Why is this? Also, should I buy a "OEM" model or do the third parties work just as well.

I have a Motorola HT1000 VHF I use for Ham repeaters, and I also have the 7 weather channels programmed in. but i would like to use it as a weather alert radio but when i set up Quick-Call it seems that it uses 2 tones, and there must be a delay between tone 1 and tone 2. using the 1060 Hz tone...

Okay, after doing some testing and research within rankin county's dispatch system I have figured something out. The VHF channel that is listed as a "fire paging" channel in the database is sorta true sorta not. One of 5 dispatch consoles rankin county sheriffs office has actually is set up...

I am looking to acquire a VHF Radio for Bell Fleatnet & to monitor Ham radio. If you selling please let me know. I am looking to obtain a XTS Model radio. Thanks :)

I recently purchased a Relm RPV3600A-Plus in great condition. The radio seemed to work fine. However I was only able to program the radio using the Relm RPV3600A software. This radio requires it's own software. Upon purchasing the correct software I was unable to read and/or write the radio. I...

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...

2 METER BASE STATION ANTENNA $51 Looking for a base antenna for my new BCT15X. Will be mounted to a mast on the roof about 30-40ft HAAT. Came across this last night looking for some low cost options. Has anyone else used / have any experience with one? Like the fact that it is tunable without...

I recently bought an Ht1000 VHF portable and am having a hard time finding programming for it. Is there anyone in NJ that still has the capability to program an HT1000?

Hey everybody, I've had my Motorola HT1250(VHF) for about a year now. It's a hand-me-down from my uncle, I use it mainly for listening to railroads while train spotting. Does anybody recommend an antenna I could put on my car to improve the signal? All help would be appreciated.

I just bought this for myself, as an early Christmas present. And boy do I love this tiny scanner, it works really well on vhf considering the size, and without an antenna! I paid under $90 from Receivers Heres a picture I took of this little guy!

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?

Are there "official" marine channels for the port area? For example the harbor pilots/tugs to ship or port to ship? I know Coast Guard Charleston/Tybee is on Ch. 21.

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...

I'm trying to gain a better understanding as an in-shore fisherman of how VHF marine radios work and would appreciate if someone could answer this question. Scenario: I transmit a radio check or distress message on Channel 16 to the Coast Guard over my handheld 5W Cobra VHF Marine Radio 1/4mi...

Anybody has an idea how to make or buy a MURS antenna,151-155 MHz, for a small pocket transceiver that should transmit up to 1W. The stub antennas are pretty bad when held close to the body. Maybe some kind of patch or ferrite antenna will do better.

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...

New to the forum, so forgive me if this is misplaced. I will soon be installing a Motorola Astro Spectra in a 07 Silverado (NNBS). I am really avoiding drilling the cab roof to install an antenna, and was hoping to find some kind of "undercover" antenna that experienced users would...

I guess I'm the newest guy here. Other than getting my CM (PG00019763) back in 06 for work, I have little knowledge involving civilian radio communication. I have several questions so I guess I'll explain what I want to do first. I live in San Diego and frequently go out to our local deserts in...
