• Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.

    We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern.

    If you violate these guidelines your post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place. For example:

I just recently updated mine and havent noticed any problems.

Only thing I didnt like about the update was the new volume control incraments.

That would be to adjust the P25 level when monitoring digital systems. For more info go to page 102 of the manual, and it has everything you need to know about that feature.

try turning off the AGC. If the system has it enabled the radio needs it off. two AGCs will make the audio sound horrible.
