thinking of pulling the trigger on my first radio (BlackBox VHF mobile) and the way this radio looks It will double as a mobile scanner for me too :) any comments on these radios ? handhelds too if you have either one. thanks

This is my Toyota Tacoma. I bought it new in 2006 when I was 16. Until today it has only 31,000 miles. The radio is a Yeasu FT7800, remotely mounted on my dash. It's screwed directly into my FD blue light. It's in the perfect spot. I can use it while driving, and keep my eyes on the road and...

I'm new to this forum, so bear with me if I missed this topic in a search. I live and work in Santa Clara County, and with the narrow banding of VHF frequencies happening in Dec '10, how will this effect the reception on existing scanners? Our agency has older scanners (greater than 15 years...

Hi I am a newbie :) I want to get a reliable CB for ski season. I was eying the Moto Mag-One BPR40, as it looks small, rigid and cost effective. What do you guys think? What bands should I be using? Thanks, Moshe

I'm looking for a type-accepted solution for my Search and Rescue team. We currently have to carry around two radios, one for upper VHF public safety band (155.ish), and one for lower UHF public safety band (460.ish). We often switch between the two during searches and the only solution we...

I was wondering if anyone knows what scanner works best with the RR/sc application. I would like to stream a simple VHF frequency. Any help would be great, Thanks in advance!

Hello Folks, I'm wondering if it is possible that I could register a frequency with Industry Canada, and how much it would cost to go about doing so. (In the 136 - 174 mhz VHF range.) I am not interested in getting an "Amateur Radio" license. I would like to use it for biking and hiking with...

Okay I know the old system was on VHF but are the firefighters Transmiting on VHF Repeaters or the UHF Repeaters. I'd assume there transmiting on the UHF since they always use their UHF fireground 486.1125 frequency. the last time I looked at a Firefighters belt i saw some kind of motorola xts...

Did anyone else notice this morning (3/7/10) that when the fire dispatch on 154.19000 and 153.89000 tones went out, there was no voice afterwards? This happened at least 8 times between 8:00 am and 8:30 am. So I have three questions: 1. Why does this occur? 2. Was the voice heard on the...

I have a MT 1000 and do not know what to do with it. I was wondering if I could reprogram it to monitor Fleetnet control channel, so I could use it to just to run trunk88 or unitrunker. It is a MT1000 with the keypad on the front, it is VHF and is programmed for 153.080 right now. I have no...

I'm going out to Las Vegas on Friday. Are there still any police VHF systems in operation? Or other non "Open Sky" freqs? Thanks, Gregg

Hey guys. Need some suggestions. I have two VHF Mobile Radios in which I transmit on both. I already have the Coax run. These will be mounted on my chimney and would prefer that both be mounted on the same mast. What items will I need? The chimney itself is maybe 5 feet tall. The current...

Ok, I don't know if anyone on here drives a (1999+) Grand Am (mine is 2003), but it is, IMO, the most unfriendly car to any kind of radio/scanner install. There is absolutely no place to install anything without affecting something major. I was barley able to install a Motorola Spectra A9 head...

I'm looking at a GP380 online and I cannot find a definitive answer. All the sites and PDFs I look at make it look like this radio is a dual-band VHF/UHF portable. Is there anyone that can say whether this radio does both VHF AND UHF or just one or the other. Thank you!
