Bronson, Battle Creek, Calhoun County, Michigan
Bronson from Battle Creek, MI.
I monitor Law Enforcement and DNR communications on the Michigan MPSCS. I also monitor and check into nets on the 2m ham bands, and plan on getting into 70cm sometime within the year.
For equipment, I have a Uniden BCD996T,and a Uniden BC80XLT (never used anymore). For ham comm I use a Yaesu FT-1802M (currently set up for base with a Samlex 1223 switching power supply) and a Yaesu VX-170. Standard stock antennas are used with both scanners, however I do use a Radio Shack mobile mag mount scanner antenna for the BCD996T. I use a homebuilt j-pole antenna tuned to 146MHz for the FT-1802M, and have a CSB-790A Comet antenna with a K400S mobile lip mount (came with a SMA to PL-259 adaptor) for use with either the FT-1802 or the VX-170.
Happy monitoring,
Bronson
