    Relm RPV3600A-Plus

    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...

    Motorola HT1250 Question

    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.

    SafeCeiver SEV25

    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!

    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?

    Savannah River / Port of Savannah

    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.

    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...

    small VHF antenna for pocket device

    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.

    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...

    Onstar - VHF?

    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...

    FNG with novice Q's

    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...

I've no desire to run 27 MHz but was thinking I could tune it to use on 144 or maybe even 6m. Anyone have experience with doing this easily? Would think I could cut it down...
