Not exactly a bad county for scanning, if I may say.

Excellent radio i can't complain. Good reports on the audio and great on the receiving part as well. Has some good features if you like to play with ham gear.
Good Morning, i have for 20 meters a wire dipole about 50 ft in the air, for 40 meters i have a vertical multi band a hustler 6- BTV , for 1012,15 & 17 meters i use imax 2000 about 40 to 45 ft in the air. For my wires X node i use a dual bander Diamond X50 about 40 ft as well in the air. Then my scanners i have them with Diamond D3000N antenna. Thats my home base antenna set up. For mobile the Diamond Antenna SG7500A .
Thanks, but i have seen bigger shacks than mine at the moment . I did have a room with a big set up but had to move out from the house i used to live in and now the space has been reduce. Still equipment in boxes etc but we love the hobby and its on my DNA i guess to help others out at least with communications.

Hey Sergio, nice set up. I see that you're a paramedic and I'm assuming you live in or around Hillsborough County. If you don't mind me asking, are you still practicing as a paramedic? I am a paramedic and used to work at Sunstar EMS many years ago.
Thanks for the comment on my set up, unfortunately i am not working as a paramedic at this time due to a lower back injury. I worked with bayflite in Bayfront Medical Center in St. Pete as a dispatcher as well a couple of years back. The job as a paramedic/rescuer was affected by a guy who was on his cell phone and rear ended my vehicle at 80 mph in 2015. At the time being i am a volunteer dispatcher for the caribean island of Puerto Rico from my dispatch console in tampa. We are part of COMMS911 which includes Rescue, Paramedic,Police and private groups in the different counties from the island so i can keep at least helping others from a different point. Communications has change alot over the years and been able to integrate repeaters and POC has been very helpful on me keeping up with emergency situations. Best of luck and 73's

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your back injury. I was injured in the line of duty at Sunstar while responding to a 9-1-1 call, our rig was t-boned by a drunk driver and I wrecked my lumbar spine and pelvis. This was in 2002, and I'm still in pain. It's neat that your working as a dispatcher for Puerto Rico, how does that work? Do 9-1-1 calls get routed to you in Tampa? How does someone get involved with that?
Do you use the NI4CE system? I used that almost exclusively when we lived in Pinellas County. If you use DMR, maybe we can chat more on one of the talk groups. Or maybe schedule a QSO on HF?
