So I am thinking about getting a AR5700D if I was to get one off

These sets what can expect to hear in the 2 GHz and 2 GHz range.

I already have the DV1 .

 

[Patrol1949]

I should said 2GHz to 3GHZ

I own an AR5700D but haven't explored that part of the spectrum.

Best to experiment and scan it. Did that with my R8600. Didn’t hear anything. I still check once in awhile just to check.

 

[Patrol1949]

Ok thank you all for your help I think you saved me a lot of money .

I also observed the range up to 2 GHz with the ICOM IC-r 8500, but unfortunately I didn't receive anything useful.
I think the normal listener can no longer really hear anything after the 23cm amateur radio band.

 

[Patrol1949]

I think I will give it a miss for now .
Thanks all for your help.

Give it a try. You might get lucky since your across the pond.

 

[Patrol1949]

Yes we are the other side of the pond but two weeks ago

We were your side in Miami and I took my scanner

Grate fun.

Much cheaper to use an SDR if you want to simply explore the spectrum

Well my new AR5700D arrived on Tuesday I am very happy

A little help needed on P25 settings for the uk that is

Step and Band width. At the moment I am using 12.5 Step

And 15K for Band width .

Thanks.

As is always the case, the antenna system will be probably the most important part of your setup. once you get above UHF the PSDs in use are lower so a decent antenna with some gain will be important. If there are particular systems you want to listen to then go for dedicated antennas for the relevant frequencies and the best coaxial cable you can manage, possibly with LNA and filters.

Hi Patrol1949, How are you finding your new toy? Looking at one of these myself and wondering if it is much better on vhf/uhf airband than the AR5000, if you've had chance to try it in that frequency range?

Thanks.

 

[Patrol1949]

Hi Alan all I can say brilliant DMR is exultant and it is very clear

The receiver really picks the week signals out .But dose take a lot

Of getting your head around it but it is fun learning all its functions.

I am over the moon with it.

 

[Alan1268]

Thanks for your reply

Has anyone managed to get this running the AR-IQ-III interface

Try as I may all I keep in device manager Device not found .

When you get the device not found, leave your cable plugged in and turn off the 5700 then turn it on again.

 

[Patrol1949]

Yes I tried that still no joy the PC will even load the drivers of the mem stick.

I am now going to reinstall windows 10 to see if that helps.

I love my 5700D
