radio shack pro-106 charging problem
I have a pro 106 that will not charge recharable batteries. They are in the yellow holder.
I checked for voltage on the terminals with ac adapter on.I checked on my pro 649 it charges fine and
shows voltage on termainls Is this a known problem. Is there a fuse inside or something that breaks.

New BF-F8HP Questions
Okay, so yesterday I got this radio in the mail. Appropriately, I took my technician and general amateur exams this morning (and aced them actually; they couldn't tell me my score but the guy winked and said they were both 'perfect') and went home to continue the learning curve on how to program this new beast. I've noticed now, that it only has 144-150 VHF and 440-450 UHF available. I can't enter any other frequencies. So I look closer and realize, well these are the amateur bands, and the rest of the range I thought I was getting is commercial. THEN I look around the net and the box, the instructions (many times by this point) and EVERYTHING says this radio has 136-174 (Rx/Tx) and 400-520 (Rx/Tx). So what am I missing? I still have to order the programing cable, and already have CHIRP installed when I get it but . . . this my first HT VHF/UHF ever and I'm wondering what in the world am I missing? Is this radio defective, or ??? Is it a secret 'cause I'm not impressed?
I'd sure appreciate some guidance- I'm not looking to use the non-amateur bands illegally or anything, I'm just wondering why I can't access the freqz as advertised. It's probably something obvious to someone who knows these types of HT's but its all greek (or in this case chinese) to me.
Thanks-

Does anyone use the Tor browser? If so, what do you think of it? Pros and cons? Given how it bounces communications over distributed relays, is it slower than, say, Firefox? Any thoughts?

11.177.25 LSB
I am hearing at least two stations using phone and there appears to be a third I am unable to hear, based on their breaks in transmission. I am unsure of the language, but I would guess a Chinese dialect. I was dialed into 11.175 USB and one of the stations is blasting in. I am located in Central California. The time is 04:09 UTC and they've been talking for about 30 minutes on 11177.25 LSB.
I could not find that frequency being allocated for amateur use in the different regions. Anyone have a guess? (The intonation and laughing does not have me thinking it is military.)

Setting up a second wired internet location in my house for my feed computer?
I feel like there is an obvious answer to this question, but I can’t figure it out so.. is there an easy way to set up two different wired internet connections in my house?
I have to have the wifi router and modem provided by AT&T in one room but I need the computer I use to broadcast my feed in a different room (due to where the antenna for my feed scanner is). For clarification, I had been using a set up where my feed computer was in the room with the router/modem but that caused very poor reception on one of the main channels on my feed since I couldn't have it connected to my discone antenna.
All of the phone jacks in my house are set up by AT&T for internet, but I don’t know if there is a way to use more than one of them at once for wired (ethernet) connections. I think I need a second modem but beyond this, I’m lost. Can anyone give thoughts on this? (I have already tried other options such as the power line adapters which do not provide a reliable signal)
Also, I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but it seemed the best one. Feel free to move it if it belongs somewhere else.
Thanks everyone!!
EDIT: For clarification and to simplify what I'm asking: I'm essentially looking for a way to have two wired ethernet connections in rooms on different ends of my house (one for router and one for my feed computer).

VX2500 UHF VHF Repair Question
Here is the deal in a nutshell-
I have a VX2500 UHF with a cracked microphone jack. No luck finding a replacement. Soldering a new one on the board wouldn't be too much fun either.
I have a VX2500 VHF that I don't need or use. I took the entire face off the VHF unit and put it on the UHF unit. UHF unit powered right up and I thought - Great!! Then it started displaying odd characters and doing strange things. Displaying the VHF channels from the donor radio and so on.
My question - is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do with the parts I have? Is there a way to "flash" the VHF face unit so it will work on the UHF radio? It looks identical to me. Not sure why it wouldn't work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Channel 6
Evening all,
I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm not finding any reference to it. Part of my listening post includes one scanner that covers all the CB frequencies and I started hearing a lot of traffic on channel 6. I also have a CB working so I have left it tuned to 6 for a couple of months as it is the most active one I've found. It sounds like a lot of the same people pretty much live there and I can't determine where they are based. Is it a particular region or a group nationwide using a bunch power? My antenna needs upgrading and doesn't let me get out very far but I'm not able to contact anyone I've heard at all. Just curious what the story is on channel 6? Thanks.

Hi I now own a HackRF One I'm using DSD+ for decoding but when I use the HackRF the decoding comes back garbled. Now if I switch over and use a NooElec dongle the decoding comes in very clear same Freq it just seems that the little dongle is stronger than he HackRF One. Is there somthing I'm missing and ys filter audio is unchecked I can be decoding 460.500 p25 with the little dongle all is well now if I just stop SDR# and switch it to the HackRF (from the drop down box) it's garbled. Any help would be great you can pm me so I don't tie up this thread. I did check the data base for a answer before I did this post so if I missed it I am not trying to cross questioning. P.S. I do pick up planes on AM and non-decoding freq also my ham-it-up wor ith the HackRF just the decoding noise is my issue thanks for any help in advance newbie here.

Your thoughts on mobile scanners?
I decided to post here and gather thoughts on the matter As title says. the reason I ask is something just recent that seemed disturbing to me. A fellow I know decent guy ham radio operator and scanner buff whom also works for the government has a antenna on his truck. Just recent a vehicle was seen using some sort of hide away beacons and strobes which is not uncommon with the teens around here in parking lots The cheap deals you would find at the auto stores etc. Any how he was home and I was with him and he was scanning and hamming when we heard 2 deputies discussing one seen a vehicle speed by mentioned above using those. The next thing said was are you familiar with that individual with the vehicle (basically to t describing my buddies) and telling the other I believe it was that individual. The other replied negative it was more of this or this and the other insisted it was what he thinks. So obviously he (my buddy) was concerned because they gave his vehicle description when it was not even him. I told him not to worry about it. But he removed his antenna fearing he'd be wrongfully stopped and cited for equipment he does not have. I told him in that case that is what filing complaints are for and such. After a few days he shrugs it off and puts it back on. On the way home from his work he was stopped for "strutting the line during a lane change" and being checked for dui. Anyhow the deputy commented on his antenna and equipment saying we are watching your type all over and it is illegal. He said excuse me? The deputy said we don't take kind to impersonation here. He explained it's for ham use and his personal hobby nothing more. The deputy told him who do you need to talk to while out here driving only terrorists and impersonators have this stuff. Anyhow he was let go. But ever since he gets followed and basically harassed Followed for while plate and. Name ran several times then when that one turns off another down road will do a U turn. And follow doing same thing. Just because one wanted to play the blame game. I told him to file complaint and document every harassing incident as it occurs. We are in a state where ham use is heavy and scanning is legal Mobile on person in vehicle etc. He has filed complaints but he has withdrawn from scanning or hamming mobile now. Your thoughts?

Pro-651: Radio Shack Pro-651 Question
Hello, I am fairly new to the scanner hobby. And I am really new to this Radio Shack Pro-651.
Have been sort of feeling my way along with this scanner. I started off by manually entering some Conventional frequencies , and that seemed to go well. Every thing went in one scan list. At this time all my entries have been done by hand. Maybe a programming cable and program will come later.
When looking at entering a Trunk system under Jefferson County Alabama under (System Type) it says (Motorola Type 2 Smart Zone) I dont see that listed in the scanner under (System Type) . Which system would take care of that type ???? Surly one of them would cover it.

UV-82 crackling noise on RX while moving
Recently bought a UV 82, not because I need it, but because for 36 bucks what the heck. Seems to work ok, other than if you are moving in a vehicle or wave the radio around in your hand it produces a crackle/popping sound on RX. If you set the radio on a table stationary it's fine. Seems to be worse on UHF.
Not really a huge deal givin it's a Baofeng, but figured i'd ask if anyone else has similiar problems.
Thanks

PSR-800: Updating/Saving To Archive
Hey folks ~ Something just occurred to me while doing my library updates to my 800... after you're done doing all the db update and then updating your stored data, are you supposed to go to the "save to archive" in the file menu and do that? Or is that just an added "precautionary" type thing to do? Not sure why I just thought of that. I'm pretty sure everything has been updating/working properly but I suppose I would have to actually go through and monitor every list and compare.
I'm guessing the saving to archive is only for changing things with and within your own "personalized" stuff.

Pro-96: Is the Pro-96 Updatable?
Almost ten years ago (!!) I bought a Radio Shack Pro-96 scanner. It's been a great scanner, still runs a well as the day I pulled it out of the box. However, I have never updated the radio's software. I have read that an update in 2008 unlocked 700 Mhz for rebanded trunked systems. Is it possible to:
1) still find the programming cable, and
2) even if I find it, is the update still available from the RS website, or archived someplace at least?
Thanks!

Uniden Bearcat BCD996P2
Just in case any of my fellow Minnesota hobbyists missed this, Uniden will have the Uniden Bearcat BCD996P2 available in a couple of weeks. I think the big draw for most people of this over the Uniden Bearcat BCD996XT is that the P2 will decode APCO P25 Phase II. As some people know, there is NO Phase II on the Minnesota ARMER system currently. I think the real question for someone in the market for a base/mobile scanner is how well the P2 sounds compared to the Uniden Bearcat BCD536HP or the older Uniden Bearcat BCD996XT.
There has been no announcement of a Uniden Bearcat BCD396P2 yet. Time will tell is something like that materializes.

Brought home a WinBook (from my wife) TW100, a 10 inch tablet, with 32Gb, and a full size USB 2 port. While waiting for the iOS app, decided I will try and load RH/VLC and give WiFi a try. No problem. Works fine, can control scanner to extent RH will now allow, and the analyze features that are available work fine.
Well everybody, you can buy a 7 inch WinBook TW700 with a USB port for about 75 to 80 dollars. Have them at Micro Center stores and on Amazon. So I have one coming. I assume it will also work fine. Will let everyone know.
If this is the case, then with one of the lower priced WinBooks , who needs the iOS or Android App for the moment. I assume the apps set up by Uniden for iOS and Android will be more complete than we have now, but these inexpensive WinBooks seem to work. Will continue to experiment, including with port forwarding, to see how it works outside my own network.

Proscan logging question
I let Proscan log for quite a while and notice some TGID's that I don't have programmed that seems to have alot of hits on them.
A couple questions:
1.) How does my scanner find these TGID's when I don't have them programmed?
2.) What is the point of programming if my scanner finds these freq's/TGID I didn't program?
3.) Should I be programming these new TGID's that I found during logging back into my scanner for some reason?
I have a 996xt if it matters.
I have read the 'easier to read' manual and this stuff just isn't clicking.
Thanks in advance.

HELP - Feed Offline/Feed Online emails
I am getting automated emails stating my feed is offline, probably 20 a day. Then, within a few minutes I receive another stating the feed in back online after I have made no changes or even been in the office to touch the computer. Feed was working fine up until a few days ago when we had a power surge. Computer is on UPS, and I have restarted the machine, made sure software is up to date, and stopped and started the feed on the software to try to 'reset' it. I'm not a computer guru, please help. Thanks

Denver District 4 ongoing pursuit
For anyone listening to Denver tonight, did District 4 brass tell cars to stop pursuing the vehicle Air 1 has been following for the last 40+ minutes? For at least 20 minutes it sounds like Air-1 has been pursuing the party all alone, with no ground units following. Are they hoping he eventually breaks down or stops and goes inside a residence? Also, anyone know what the original charges were (i.e. besides traffic, failure to yield, etc.)?

A possible solution to P25 simulcast reception
I live 4.5 miles from the closest node and the 2nd closest node is 6.5 miles away and am just off center of the two. i built a 5 element beam and it was great for analog systems in the next county but no help locally. I could null the data channel some but not even to stop the multipath problem.
With a portable GRE PSR-500 I was getting frustrated as 50 to 70% packet loss on a 800 quarterwave and the elevated quarter wave and stock antennawas worse. The best antenna was larsen yellow tip 150mhz 10 inch koolduck it worked vhf and 800 adequately but was still 30 to 40% packet loss on P25.
THE BEST SOLUTION (for me)
If the pringles can works on 2.4 GHZ then a 6 to 7 inch coffee can should work on 800 MHZ. Separate a RG-58 for 3.5 inches... drill a hole in the can 3.5 inches from the bottom along the side. I used the seam insert the 3.5 inch center of the coax with the clear insulation still on it take the braided side and SOLDER a 1 inch piece of it to the can (2.5 inches can be discarded. This is a super corner reflector directional antenna or a quasi wave guide that will HELP shield any signals coming in from the side. ITS NOT PERFECT But Im in the 95% copy mode right now and actually able to hear completed messages on my PSR-500. As a bonus I can still copy the analog statewide system. Not perfect but a near free compromises that is working.............Have to use a 2nd conventional scanner for the 450 and below stuff..

Chippewa County going digital
From WQOW tv website. I wonder if they are going to consider WISCOM as neighboring Dunn County is going that way.
Chippewa Co. (WQOW) - When officers respond to a scene, seconds matter, which is why their ways of communicating need to be fast and efficient. But, what happens when the system they use is outdated and interrupts coverage?
Chippewa County is calling in for an upgrade to its communication system. Andy Bauer, the network engineer for Chippewa County, said technological times have changed. “It's only going to require more bandwidth as we continue forward,” he said. "It's aging equipment that's no longer being supported. And, it's kind of something that we have to piece pieces together to keep the system running and keep our officers safe so they have a communication line back to our dispatch center."
Law enforcement said the upgrade is needed after discovering a lack of coverage in some areas of the county. Lt. Richard Starck, from the field services department of the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office, said keeping dispatchers informed of where officers are is very important. "Sometimes, we've only had three to four deputies on at one time, and (they're) scattered throughout the county.”
In 2012, the Federal Communications Commission retracted a mandate for all dispatch and radio systems to be digital. But, digital provides better and faster coverage, which is why Chippewa County is looking to upgrade its current communication system from a radio-wave, analog system to a digital one.
Dennis Brown, the director of the Chippewa County Emergency Management, said upgrades will benefit the county in the long run. "With the new system, we will have improved coverage. That way, it can handle new technology down the road."
While going digital is a better option, it will require county officials to plan beyond the wires already in place. "Digital is a nice clean system, but it requires additional towers,” Brown said. “Those are the sorts of things we'll be looking at is additional site acquisition for new towers down the road."
While the upgrades may not happen until as early as next year, moving forward, the priority remains the same: keeping officers and citizens safe.
County officials said they do not know how much the upgrade will cost.
The Chippewa County Facilities and Parks Committee will meet Thursday, March 5 at 3:45p.m to discuss the updates.

Problems going to serial on the front port
I have been trying to get my Arc Virtual control to work. On my 536! I tried connecting a USB serial adapter to the GPS port and setting the baud rate to 115200. No luck. I wrote Butel and they told me to hook it to the front USB port and select serial. I have read this manual from cover to cover today and still can not figure out how to select serial instead of USB. There has to be a simple thing that I am missing. Anyone have a quick fix for my issue please? I just want to use the virtual control and I seem to be unable to figure this one out.

169.575 131.8 PL Tone - Fire Dispatch - South Central Texas
Folks,
I've recently copied a public safety fire/ems dispatch on 169.575 with a PL of 131.8 - very faintly though here to my location in San Antonio. Heard a reference to "Hwy 37" in the dispatch.
I've confirmed that it isn't an image (used two different radios with different IFs) - could it be some kind of point to point link?
Any ideas?

Success with Mac and Sentinel!
I just jumped into scanning and have been having a blast with the BCD436.
I was a bit disappointed that there are no scanner apps for Mac. At one point I had decided not even to a scanner because of this. However, I am located where I have temporary access to a PC so I decided to just go for it.
I decided to try an old app that was around when I first switched from PC to Mac - Codeweavers Crossover (Google it). Many years ago it wasn't that great but I recently heard from a fellow Mac user that they were using it successfully for some other program and that it had improved.
I downloaded the free trial of Crossover today to try with Sentinel on my Mac. I downloaded the Sentinel installation folder onto my Mac's desktop.
After installing Crossover I followed the instructions and installed Sentinel and was able to use it to update my scanner's card! I am very happy about this!
For those of you who may try it, DO NOT PLUG YOUR SCANNER INTO YOUR MAC. I did this and it corrupted the card. You will need to get a SD card adapter and insert your MicroSD into your Mac that way. I was able to change the profile and add custom channels and much more.
I haven't had any problems so far and I've only done this once. I also am not a power/pro scanner user so there may be things that I am unaware of as of yet.
So if you try it be aware that this has not been heavily tested. However, everything is working fine with the SD card updated through my Mac.
Hope this helps!

ZDC transfer of control to Cherry Point in ENC
I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding any frequency changes following the transfer of air control from ZDC (Washington Center) to Cherry Point on February 5 that covers a large portion of central eastern NC. I suppose over time, they can be found, but a document of the changes would be nice.

Pro-96 SIM help
I'm a little frustrated here. Lol
I just picked up a pro-96 on EBay. I've added all the control channels for the Montreal fire, set it all to Motorola, made sure it's set to open by pressing function 5 and I haven't heard a thing all day. If anyone could guide this n00b in the right direction or if you are in Montreal, I will pay you to get it working.
Thanks

MotoTrbo Enhanced Privacy Decode
I have a MotoTrbo XPR7550. I use to monitor a county close by who uses a Trbo digital system but they recently changed their encryption codes. Everything else stayed the same, so I can still see them key up on my screen and see who is talking but just can't hear anything. Is there anyway to figure out what the new encryption codes are or somehow decode the transmission?

Giving the Tecsun PL-880 a whirl...
Receiving a PL-880 tomorrow and will give it a test run. I'll compare it to my 7600GR which is a pretty darn good radio. I almost went with the ATS-909X but given my history with that model and the lack of fine tuning (on the display) it wasn't a hard decision. (The lower price of the PL-880 doesn't hurt either!)
If this unit works out well then it may stay with me at work.
Aside from those cheap roll-up antennas has anyone found a better option for taking the unit on the go? I'm looking for antennas that have been specifically tried with PL-880 -- not other radios.
I'll rely upon the stock whip for the most part but would like to find another option.
Thanks

FTM-350 Remove Date/Time Stamp on APRS Data?
Is anyone aware of a setting on the FTM-350 that removes the date/time stamp on data output to the COM port? When I establish a serial connection to my FTM-350 I'm seeing ARPS data in the following format.
For some reason it appears the FTM-350 is inserting a date/time stamp before the UI frame. I think the date/time stamp is confusing the APRS mapping software (APRSPoint) I'm trying to use. I need the line to read:
It would be nice to have my FTM-350 feed APRS packets directly to my APRS mapping software.

Workman t734 antenna comes loose
I have a Workman t734 antenna in a tower on my roof and a couple of times a year I find the a piece of the antenna on the ground after a big windstorm. I have to get the antenna down and screw it back in, I make sure it's in the base far enough and turn the nut tight but it comes loose again after a while. Cab I use loctite or will that stop the piece from grounding to the antenna? Or is there anything else I can use so they won't fall out?

Newcomers welcome and "school is in session.
As someone new to the scanner community, a new knowledge page has opened in your brain. A good way to learn/self teach, is FCC part 90 in the "CFR" or Code of Federal Regulations. The "digital age" has totally revolutionized 2 way radio communications and you have to begin understanding the technical aspects, since your scanner is actually a computer/radio receiver, all in one package. Part 90 is huge in number of topics and pages of information. Begin by casually viewing the "glossary pages/index" of what regulations affect a given type of scanner interests you might enjoy listening to. For example, scroll down to the Railroad Section and merely get an overview of the rapid changes underway affecting freight and passenger rail radio systems nationwide. Granted, you will be buried in technical jargon and words and phrases your not used to, but just get an "overview" of how to research frequencies, and their use on the trains in your area. I hope it fries your brain initially, but stay positive ,and get on this blog and ask for explanations from the thousands of folks nationwide who preceded you years ago and have a treasure trove of knowledge on that topic to share with you. Good luck, and keep coming back with questions!

I was on this forum and on Batlabs looking at model number decoding. I'm trying to see how many channels the radio is and what frequency range it is. Here is the numbers AAH258DF9AA5AN, the 5 after the second AA should be the number of channels in the radio, I thing??? But it's not on any on the lists. Thanks John

Notice the 436HP doesn't always "see" button presses like the selector knob or Avoid button. Sometimes it takes multiple presses to get it to register. This seems especially true when it's decoding P25. I have a feeling the microprocessor is busy processing audio and doesn't get interrupted for keypresses often enough...
Mildly annoying.

ARC 536 Pro
I have been trying to get my virtual control to work and I have followed the directions Butel gave me in the manual. NO Luck at all. I am running win 7 pro, HPZ220 I7 4790 and 8gb of ram. I am using a gigaware usb to serial adapter that I have used to control My BC898T's with for several years with ARC898 and not had any issue. I have set the location in the GPS to serial as instructed and adjusted the port settings to 115200. Set the UISB serial port on VC to the appropriate port and when I hit start, Nothing happens at all. Anyone have any ideas????
Thanks.

Bcd536hp discovery mode error!
As I was reviewing discovery mode hits today, I would keep getting an error, the scanner would shut down, and the screen would say SD card read error? This has never happened before, and I keep it on 24/7!
Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden?
Thank you

Psr 600 mute encryption?
On the new Tmr2 700mhz p25 system in Nova Scotia the rcmp are starting to switch over and I hear the garble when they talk. I know they're encrypted but my question is on the old 800mhz analog/digital system the scanner wouldn't even stop on the talkgroup if it's encrypted and on the new system it stops on the wildcard ! Should I just lock it out? Is there a setting to stop it from stopping on the encrypted talkgroups?

Questions about HP-2 and 436HP
Been wanting to get a digital unit to go along side my trusty br330t. I have been looking at the HP-2 and the 436HP.
How do you enable and disable groups/systems like using the Quickeys on the br330t?
Just how bad is the display on the 436HP?

Hp536
I thought the 536would be easeier to program ! Think I need to go back to learn computer programing I have the clock set zip in and close call working but not sure how to set up favorates. Wow guess I'll have to try to understand. I live in south eastern vermont and when it scans with zip it scans vt nh ny and mass I can't receive ny or mass mostly nh and vt as I live in a valley. I can pick up stations as far away as 60miles. Nh I'd digital for pds and vt is just changed to narrow band fm.

WOW!!!!! What a learning curve!!!!!! Just got my 536hp and started to read the manual, guess I'm going to have to go back to school! Manuel is not very user freindly. I own 3 pro 197s and thought that was a chalange. This Manuel is not user freindly I thought the whole idea of hp was to be easier to program. To me it looks like I need a computer programming course. I did set the clock and enter the zip but New England states like vt. Have fewer trans so my 536scanns New York and New Hampshire . I live closer to n.h. Then New York . And where I live it's hard with the mets to receive mass. Also I did set up close call and that works great

Baltimore County Volunteer fire station study
Volunteers reviewing a study to merge some fire companies and close others.
Baltimore County volunteer fire companies recommended for closing, mergers - ABC2News.com
It will be quite some time most likely before you see any of these changes, if at all. Since volunteer fire companies are generally independent corporations, they will have to agree to the changes before they could take place. However, it looks like some of the recommended mergers were already being discussed.

HDTV: Channel tagged 9-4? KUSA or KTVD transmitter?
Living out here a ways out of Denver in Elbert County, we've always had a difficult time receiving the two VHF transmitters at Lookout for tagged channels 7 and 9.
Channel 4 has always been good out here, showing a distinct difference with UHF propagation and antenna gain out to here, from the same tower, granted they're on top.
Recently we notice we are receiving a tagged channel of 9-4. None of these TV's have the ability to see what base RF channel this 9-4 channel is being received on, but at least a couple of websites have info that this is a simulcast of 9-1. They don't say how though.
Did KUSA decide to simulcast the VHF stuff on a sub-channel of KTVD, perhaps?
I can't tell with the gear I've got.
Anyone know what site/which transmitter 9-4 is coming from?
Works real well out here.
In general, VHF from Lookout (and even other sites) doesn't seem to have worked as well as UHF in the fringes.
Of course with a good antenna pointed at any of them, they'll all work. We get the surrounding stuff from further east and Colorado Springs with directional antennas, pretty easily.
It's just nice to see 9 doing whatever they did to fill in for wimpy antennas and "rabbit ears".
I have a note off to KUSA to ask also. If I hear back, I'll share whatever I get in reply.

Pro96 Will Not Track the New Hamilton County P25 System
I had sold a Pro96 to a co-worker a few years back and now I am trying to reprogram it to pick up the newer radio systems. It picks up SAFE-T just fine. However, it absolutely WILL NOT pick up P25 (9600 baud) systems. All I get is dead silence. It won't track Hamilton County nor will it track IDPS system 1.
I used Win96 to program the Pro96 and all the correct CCs and TGs are loaded into it as far as I can tell. I know the Pro96 is supposed to be able to track P25 systems but it is not happening here. I imported the TGs and CCs from Radio Reference. The trunking tables chosen during the import were "normal."
I have no idea what is wrong. Has anyone else tried using the Pro96 to monitor this system? It has DSP version 1.3 which is the latest AFAIK .
Could there be a hardware issue with an old scanner like this. My PSR-500 is tracking the new Hamilton County system just fine.

Maybe a crazy question form a noob.....
So here's the deal. I know nothing about Ham radio. I've been doing a little reading about the Tech license but that's about it. I'm a police officer also. Our local departments, state-county-city, all use different frequencies to talk on and we can't hear each other. So I was thinking about getting a scanner. But then I thought, why not get a radio instead. I was looking at the Yaesu radio's and they can scan, although not transmit, in the police bands (700-999mhz). If I got a Tech license, I could use the radio to scan while I'm patrolling and in my off time I could talk on the lower bands.
Now my question, which may sound silly, but I'm confused regarding the nomenclature regarding 2m, 6m, 10m, 70cm, etc. If for instance, I got a Yaesu RT60, which I believe is a 2m radio, does that mean I can only transmit on a certain set of frequencies and not on the others? or is it simply a matter of hooking up a different length antennae to it? If I attach a longer anntenae can I talk on 10m? Maybe what I'm asking is so far off it doesn't make any sense?
I understand that the there are difference frequencies associated with different antennae lengths, but does that mean you have to have specific radios also?
Can someone explain?
Thanks.

HP-2 Serial disconnects solved
I've had the HP-2 for about 60 days. I've been logging hits using Arc Patrol. The HP-2 developed a habit of disconnecting the serial connection at random. Sometimes hours, sometime minutes after connecting. Other times it would not link up at all and Arc Patrol locked up. Windows always detected the com port, Arc Patrol did not. I thought it was an Arc Patrol problem, but after testing various combinations, I don't think it is.
The cause appears to be the power draw from the USB port. The connection is not dropped if the batteries are fully charged. If a USB port sees an excess current draw, it shuts off. I think this is what's happening,
I am searching for a high-charge rate hub that the HP-2 likes. I tried the Pluggable 4-Port with BC 1.1 Charging feature. It will charge, but not work for serial comms.

Using cheap HT's for Broadcastify (SR) feeds
I'm going to setup 4 Scanner Radio feeds of some things in our area that aren't already being broadcast. Initially, I was going to look for some ebay scanners, BCT8's and the like. I'm just picking up 470-471, nothing special. I had also thought about using some PM400's I have laying around, but unfortunately they are all R split and I need S splits for these frequencies. Then it dawned on me, why not use some inexpensive Baofeng HT's? I have a dozen BF-888's that have worked like a champ for me. They don't replace the HT1250's that I use for "primary" members of the organization, but if we need a warm body, I can give them a 888S and not care as much if it doesn't make it back to me.
While the BF-888S's won't work for me (they won't go above 470, even in CHIRP), the UV-5R's will. They may take up a little more room than a stack of desktop scanners, but I'm fine with that.
Are there any flaws to my plan? I realize I won't be able to do tagging, but for myself and the few of us that will likely ever listen to these channels, that isn't a concern of ours.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. You can PM me for e-mail address to send it to or point me to somewhere one can be downloaded. UHF is the popular one so its the only codeplugs I am finding.

EX600XLS Clicking Noise
Just got a used EX600 XLS from eBay.
The radio seems to work fine, but one minor thing: It makes a clicking noise after each tone. Not sure if this is normal or not, so I recorded it. The clicks you hear after each tone are NOT me releasing the button, they're actually coming from the speaker:
http://ift.tt/1E1Y2F7
It also makes this clicking noise when it opens the squelch, and when it's decoding MDC1200.
Is this normal? I don't have any other EX600s to try, but it doesn't happen on an HT1250 I have. It's on firmware 05.18.01, which is the latest.
Thanks!

How to program a specific talk group on an RS Pro-652?
I just got my first scanner, an RS Pro-652 and cannot figure out how to program a specific talk group on a trunked system.
The trunked system is the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response for Minnesota, found at Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) Trunking System, Various, Minnesota - Scanner Frequencies.
About 2/3 down the page is a section called "Hennepin County - Minnetonka Talkgroups".
In this section is a line with DEC =10788, HEX = 2a24, Mode = D, Alpha Tag = MTKA PD DISP, Description = Police Dispatch and Tag = Law Dispatch.
What must be entered into the scanner in order to listen to this?
Thanks.

Is scanning becoming obsolete?
I've been listening to my PD and FD on and off for over 30 years. Back when I was in high school we had a nice little Bearcat 210xl scanner that did everything we wanted. Of course back then everything was a lot simpler. Our PD had it's own freq and our FD dispatch was only for local FD's so we didn't have to listen to a lot of other traffic. Now we are a P25 system and I've noticed that my town is on the same TG as 3 other towns. (Morris County)
I've noticed that it seems like the PD traffic is a lot more sparse than it used to be. I'm not sure if that's a fair statement because they still call dispatch on vehicle stops. But I'm guessing with the computers they have in their car they are not always doing DL lookups through dispatch, but I do hear it sometimes so that has be a little confused.
I'm about to buy another scanner (I have a 536HP for home and I'm going to get a 436HP for mobile use)
I'm a little concerned that encryption might be around the corner and once it is, it's pretty much game over. I've heard of a number of systems in central/south jersey who have plans for encryption. I'm just a little concerned about having $1,000 of scanner gear to hear fire/ems dispatch.
What are people thinking about the future of scanning from this point of view?
Thanks,

Audio issues with DSDPlus and Unitrunker
I'm new to the whole Rtl-SDR as a scanner setup. I have two adapters, both working in SDRSharp and if I feed a single digital voice channel to the virtual audio cable from SDRSharp, I get good decode from DSDPlus. I also had this working the first night from Unitrunker, following a trunked system, though not with a very good decode.. I changed a few things to follow an analog trunked system for a while, and can't get the digital to decode again from Unitrunker. Looking at DSD's scope, it looks like Unitrunker is overdriving it. I've tried playing with the gain on the voice receiver in Unitrunker, as well as the auto gain checkbox, and the volume level in the Windows recording tab for the virtual audio line 1 that I am feeding DSD with. Anyone have any suggestions for what I could try? I ran DSDTune and it did improve the decode rate from SDRSharp, but still Unitrunker looks to be overdriving DSDPlus.

More than 1 stream with wifi on 536HP?
I was showing my brother the 536HP app and VLC streaming the other day. He's been out of scanning for many years. His first response was to comment about the P25 decode quality and once we got past that his first question was one that has been asked a few times.
"How many devices can you stream to?"
When I told him only 1 he said "well that's not very useful". I kind of agree. I find myself starting and stopping VLC on different computers depending on where I am and doing RDC into windows to stop one instance so I can start it elsewhere.
Will there ever be the capability to stream to more than one device?
Right before the app came out I was about to declare it a un-useful feature and say that I can get what I need from broadcastify. That's not an entirely true statement because while they do carry my P25 system they carry a lot of TG's that I don't want to hear. I also use FTO to keep things quiet and only let me know about things happening in my town. The on-line streaming services are much to broad for me.
I'm kind of thinking that we will never see multi-streaming capability, but I figured I'd ask. Sure would be nice.

Confirming Sentinel Update
I just ran Sentinel for the first time on my BCD436. It was extremely easy to get connected.
However, when the update was finished a dialogue box gave these instructions.
1- "unmount" the card
2- Press the power button on the unit and this would start the update
3- Do not disconnect the unit from usb
I unmounted the card and the pressed the power button. The unit turned on and loaded the database as normal. Then I got the Mass storage serial port option.
I was expecting to see some sort of updating info on the scanner screen.
How can I confirm that the unit was indeed updated?
Thanks!

Using mobile device as a remote head w/WiFi
I've got the dongle updated, and it seems to be working fine. I have the 536 hidden in my car, and connected to it via the wifi on my iPhone which seems to work fine.
I just want to make sure I am not overlooking something: While the phone is connected to the scanner's wifi network, it is effectively useless for any other function (i.e. text msgs, google maps etc), do I have that right?
So really, if one wants to use an iPhone as a remote head in a vehicle, a second device really needs to be dedicated for this purpose?

Thursday's vote comes after Commissioners Michael O'Rielly and Ajut Pai asked that the FCC "immediately release the 332-page Internet regulation plan publicly and allow the American people a reasonable period of not less than 30 days to carefully study it."
That request was denied; we'll post the document here when it's available.

I for one am very interested what is in those 322 pages, and why it is not available to the public...

"Your Threads" function no longer working?
Since email notification is no longer working for me, I've been using Forums -> Your Threads to keep up with my subscribed threads. In the past, threads with new messages were in yellow and those with no new messages were in blue. Now, I only get the error "Please specify some words or valid user names to search on. There were no matches for those that you specified."
I have logged out and logged back in and it did not correct the issue.

Ohio Scanning - Marcs-IP
I bought a BCD436HP in October and setup my favorites and used only the local towers. Today to decided to completely redo my favorites list and update them to the current database on here.When I did that I didn't avoid any sites and sent them to my scanner and then I started scanning. After I didn't realize this until after I started getting transmission I realized that the tower location was in Lawrence County and I'm in Licking County. So how could I pickup our SO deputy a block away on their town and then have a strong enough transmission off the the Lawrence County site to get back to my radio? Should I leave all of the state sites active? Feeling really confused at the moment.

P25 Volume
Anyone else notice a big variation in audio volume within P25 system units?
I have a BCD436HP and when I have the scanner situated in the best spot for lowest error rate and best clarity, there is a big variation in the volume of different units in the system. Some units (either mobile or dispatch) come in at a "normal" volume, and some are so low in volume as to be almost inaudible. It's clear speech with no errors, just very quiet. I thought that P25 trunked systems are supposed to normalize the volume.
I tried Digital AGC on or off, no perceived difference.
In general, P25 is always lower in volume than the analog systems. I turn the volume offset to +3 for the system and it's still quieter in comparison.
Another nitpick - when I turn the volume to 0 for the evening, I still hear very low audio coming from the unit. I'm guessing the +3 offset has to do with it, but setting the volume to zero should mean zero from the speaker.

Scanner Deals
I am happy for all of you who have gotten great deals on Radio Shack scanners. Some of us can't afford these deals. I would like to have a handheld digital scanner. I guess I'll have to go to a lot of yard sales this summer. Anyway everyone enjoy.

My Living Room Radio Corner
I'd normally post over in the shack photos section but since I was monitoring in NC I wanted to share my modest collection of portables................
- EF Johnson 5100 P25 VHF w/FPP - Loaded with programming for most things
across the State of NC
- Motorola XTS5000R 7/800 - On the Rowan County/Salisbury City P25 System
and belongs to the City of Salisbury and is issued
to me by the agency I'm with
- Motorola MTS2000 800 (Qty.2) - For conventional monitoring on 8CALL90
- Kenwood TK390 UHF - Monitoring various UHF systems across the state as well
as the N4UH amateur repeater in China Grove which is a
very popular machine around here.
- Motorola Minitor 5 VHF 2 Ch - Monitoring Rowan County Fire Dispatch (154.2500)
and Cabarrus County Fire Disp (154.3400). This is
mainly used to monitor Rowan Fire Disp for our
severe weather warning paging system.
- Uniden BCD396XT - Use it to monitor the Rowan/Salisbury P25 system
everyday, as well as VIPER. I've got every P25
system across the state.
It's a modest set up but gets the job done. I've got several mobiles in my POV now but I find myself grabbing my portable more times than not instead of a mic for one of my mobiles. They've kinda turned into over glorified scanners. Let me know what you guys think :D
*** Again, I posted this here since I'm using it to monitor here in NC. If I shouldn't have I'll take the pop on my hand an learn a lesson ***

Antenna for scanner - discone, other? Attic mount.
I am looking at getting a good antenna I can mount in my attic for my scanner. I can't put outside antennas up, so let leave that out of the discussion. I have some wire antennas for ham radio use I am going to put in there also. I haven't figured out HF yet, but I have a 6m ground plane I used at another location with good results.
As far as the scanner antenna I am thinking along the lines of a discone. Are there any good inexpensive ones out there? I'd like to have an antenna that works best for about 145-170mhz and 440-450mhz, but decent performance on the 800-900mhz bands would be good too. I want an antenna that will help me listen to the 2m and 70cm ham bands and VHF marine band mostly. Right now I use a small dual band mag mount antenna. I figure if I get a better antenna and put it in the attic (4th story) I will have better luck.

ProVoice with a psr-800 and dsd+
Hey folks: I've been scanning for years, but I'm relatively new to this dsd+ stuff.
I recently purchased a psr-800, love the radio...But I have yet to get anywhere with decoding the unenc ProVoice stuff on my local edacs system.
I have tried putting in all the freques in lcn order as I would when adding a new system, then adding the talkgroups I know are provoice but not encrypted...Nothing besides a bunch of random analog sounds like it's scanning all the freques and just landing on any analog . Then I just tried adding the active control-channel along with said tg's...still nothing. All I get is the cc noise...But no voice comms.
I do have the headphone selected under audio out in the software and the volume set to 100...I'm using a good quality audio cable to go from the radio in to my sound card.
I should also note: I'm partially blind so rely on screen-reading software for the computer...Any pictures/diagrams online are useless to me.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

BCDx36HP Scanner Monitor App now with Audio Streaming
The Scanner Monitor Chrome app now allows for remote control and real-time audio streaming to remote devices for both the 536 and 436. No port forwarding or IP lookup required and does not use the wi-fi dongle. Remote devices just need a compatible web browser.
It does require the following:
A 436/536 scanner connected in serial mode to a computer/laptop with the Chrome web app installed.
Remote control requires an Internet connection.
Audio streaming requires a separate audio cable connected from the audio-out/headphone jack of the scanner to the audio line-in on the computer.
No app to install for the remote device. Remote control your scanner by logging into the scannermonitor.com website with a web browser. Audio streaming is using a relatively new technology - WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication). It is currently supported by Chrome and Firefox for desktop/laptop and Android phones with a recent Chrome browser. (iOS devices do not yet support this type of audio streaming for any of their browsers - although the remote control does work)
This is still classified as experimental. So I’m sure there will be some issues. I want to thank the testers who have been playing with this for the last few months - some streaming for few days straight. As it looks like the app may be crossing the 1,000 user mark today - we will also see how the servers manage the load.
One thing I noticed while streaming to an Android is that the phone’s browser goes to sleep after a few minutes (after the screen goes dark). To re-enable the stream, hit refresh on the page. I am researching alternatives for that. Of course, if you have a 536 working with the dongle, then you can still use other apps to stream the audio and use the scannermonitor.com website for remote control.
Current users of the application will see a notice that the app permissions have changed to include the use of audio. If you do not wish to stream audio - you can leave it turned off from within the application. For those who want to try the app, here is the link to the web store: http://ift.tt/1r3pk2O

VHF HT-1000 speaker mic problem
I just purchased a used speaker mic for my Ht-1000 radios. I have two of them one UHF and one VHF. It is working as it should on the UHF radio but on the VHF radio the sound is muted on the speaker mic. The mic is working, I have confirmed that. I am thinking it might be a setting in the programming that I am missing. I checked a couple of days ago and from what I am seeing the settings in both radios are the same but of course I could be missing something. I don`t use the software very often even though I was very familiar with it at one time. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hilliard Talkgroups on COIRS
I was wondering if anyone was able to monitor for any new TGs on COIRS for Hilliard. I have been trying but living on the east side of Columbus, it is sometimes hard for me to pick up the system. The template on COIRS website shows a lot of Hilliard TGs. I will keep monitoring for TGs but was wondering if anyone else noticed any new ones.
Thanks!

Radio Explorer for SWL
If you prefer to use a standalone program for finding broadcast times and days, where the spy numbers are and want a good program, there is one named Radio Explorer. It has many features. It has been around for years and not much mention of it. I think it's worth while. the only thing broken in it is it's link to solar data which replies a 404 NOT FOUND error. It's free so not a problem. Just make sure you get the license key provided by it's author on it registration page.
It uses the EIBI database which is imported within Radio Explorer.

Wow! Just got mine today (almost didn't ....UPS delivered to my next door neighbor's back porch....whew). Anyways.....this tiny hand held is ultra sensitive. In downstairs living room with the extension wire antenna attached and picking up two Hams on LSB on 7.154Khz and they are booming through the speaker. I'm in southern Indiana and one of the guys is in North Carolina and the other guy is in upper Northeastern U.S. somewhere. AM stations, FM stations, Shortwave broadcasts all coming in incredibly well and I'm not even in an elevated (upstairs bedroom) yet. Just amazing little radio. Very cool

BCD996XT New Scanner do not know how to use it.
I am new to the Digital Scanner. I just got the Uniden Bearcat BCD996 XT for my birthday. I tried to program it myself but i can not get it to scan or pick up the channels I put in. I downloaded the FreeScan software and bought into the radio reference to get access to the freq banks that are already in. I loaded the county I am in and uploaded it to the scanner and that is as far as I got. I cant figure out the missing step to get it working properly. I am getting the message "ID Search" when I hit scan and "Finding CtrlChan"
Would appreciate any help if anyone has the time. I am new so if you take the time to answer please dumb down your explanations a little bit. Thanks

Help with Hilliard Ohio
Trying to get Hilliard, Ohio PD programmed into my 996xt. I imported 2 different systems from RadioReference into Freescan, however neither of them have very much action which is leading me to believe i have something set wrong.
One system is on COIRS and one is a Type II/P25. I havent changed any settings after. Can someone help me get Hilliard setup? I probably hear 1 transmission every 10 minutes. Seems like there should be more.
Thanks in advance.
