Good & Gracious Friday Morning!
Yeah, I woke back up from 11 pm and can't sleep. I hope to remedy that soon, :lol:.
Awhile back, Caddo 911 changed frequencies to become one of FEMA's trunked agencies. The just dropped 15 MHz to comply with FEMA's demands rather than purchase those highly expensive Motorola 700 MHz rigs.
For those of you who have a R$ PRO-95 or better, this is no problem. However, if you own a PRO-94, the new frequencies may not work. I happen to run across a sheet of notebook paper on which the old and new frequencies are listed in channel order and not by sequential order.
I'll pass these on for consideration to the Database Manager.
The old channels listed numbered 1 thru 25. The NEW channels only number 15. The other old 10 are still active in their loop, LOL!
BTW. send me an e-maul (flame, lol!) with your name, location in Louisiana (parish only) and e-mail address and I'll send you some goodies (no "ads")
that you might enjoy on vhf low-band, vhf hi-band, and uhf lo-band. Not everybody has gone 700 MHZ scrambled eggs, yet, he,he,he,he.
Sunspot cycle's up from time to time, so 30-50 MHz may start to get "hot", soon. There's been some good activity on 10 meters lately. As time progresses, the MUF - maximum usable frequency will be going up and 75 & 40 meters will become quiet. This means openings from 30 MHZ up to 1.2 GHz are possible over very long distances.
Well, I'm headed back to bed.
GOD BLESS,
