the amit and the mods are rude here
so I give you the results of your rudeness
You won't be hearing from until this Mod scan if over with

Huh? What'd I miss?
Sometimes your scanner misses the dispatch and leaves you wondering where it's going.

I might be completely clueless! =)
OP was put on moderation status after a series of different topics claiming that the mods purposely removed his avatar. To be honest, I don't think English is the OP's native language.

All he seemed to do was whine about P25, and how expensive P25 capable scanners are. Some one call Whine one one that guy needs a Waaaaambulance...

To be honest, I share some of those same sentiments. I think today's digital scanners are severely overpriced and focus too much on fancy bells and whistles and not enough on doing the job they were designed to do (such as actually decode the transmissions correctly for example).
I've suggested numerous times that what manufacturers need to do is focus on a simple, easy to operate digital scanner that only covers one band, such as 700MHz to 800MHz. It doesn't need to have close call or signal stalker or a direct connect to the RR database or a GPS interface or a fancy touch screen with cute little color icons. It just needs to work and not sound like Max Headroom humping R2-D2 when decoding a transmission. That's. It.
And despite the fact that manufacturers frequently haunt this forum and use it to market their latest creations have any of them taken me up on the idea? No. Not one. Instead it's "LOOKIE LOOKIE, here's a scanner that covers every frequency from DC to Daylight and looks like an iPod! Hurry up, get them now, they're only $500 each, which is the same price we've been charging for digital scanners for the last ten years! It will still decode simulcast systems like crap but WHO CARES, it also has the WHOLE RRDB in it!" No, no, no, no, NO - way wrong answer, guys.
I also think today's digital public safety radio systems are a HUGE waste of taxpayer dollars and were completely unnecessary. What was so un-interoperable about analog VHF and UHF? Nothing! So why did we waste, as a nation, BILLIONS of dollars on this stuff? So that law enforcement could encrypt things and keep the public out? It damn sure wasn't for interoperability because we already had that back in the 60's before all this trunking and digital garbage was even a twinkle in some RF engineer's eye.
So yeah... I can relate.

not knocking anyone radio scanner but the cost mainly insane mentaly .
there are other frequencies to scan if the police and some other service become stuck ups.
getting by with ADPS MCSO, other frequencies , PHX IPD I go to my smartphone scanner feed app to hear it , AZ Scanner , it's a crying that Mods and Amits don't understand
so it just drove me away when wreck my prolie when they no right to so .

While this may be somewhat off topic regarding the situation with the OP, you are absolutely right about government agencies buying staggeringly overpriced (and many times unnecessary in my experience) radio and other communications equipment systems. Looking at it from a scanner monitoring (and tax payers) point of view is troubling enough as it is.
But the fun really begins when an employer foists a load of expensive crap on those tasked with having to use it, without any design/operational input from the users and with tons of bugs yet to be worked out (despite the promises of the company reps and techs prior to roll out) that put responders lives in jeopardy.
But that's okay I suppose, because in a few years time the calculated and planned obsolescence of the system will require further expensive upgrades or maybe even total replacement. Woo hoo!
Anything for the almighty dollar these days.

Another fine example of Whine and Cheez! Don't let that swinging door hit you in the butt on the way out. Have you considered the possibility the problem lies with you and not everyone else? If you haven't, START.
Isn't this why there's a rant category in the tavern? Go ***** there and no one will care. PS.. I knew scanning was an expensive hobby before I got into it. If you can't afford it, head over to broadcastify.com.

There are very, very few people on this Board whose posts are a total waste of everyone's time but this guy was definitely one of them. If you wish to engage in a technical hobby please take the time to learn something about the subject before you go bothering others with your ignorant comments. I, like the rest of you, have suffered through this clown's stupid, ill-informed posts and I am glad he's gone, or at least I hope he's gone.

I think he's close, Lou Maag has tried to be nice, but, I think he has two strikes.
Darn that Amit! They should really ban him for wrecking people's prolie!
Hey, at least it was entertaining at times
I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread!
