I've been tempted to get one of these, though Mass SP Zone 5 is still SmartZone and is most of what I listen to on 800 MHz.

This is a 2018 update to my post from last year (see above). The Fall River (Massachusetts) Grand Prix OPA Boat Races are being held today (Saturday 08-25-2018) and tomorrow (Sunday 08-26-2018). The Race Control is utilizing Marine 78A (156.9250) as they did last year to coordinate boats leaving and...

...Med Tech is somewhere and since it appears that the Johnston analog site is shut down, the MotoTrbo system makes sense. Now, the trick is to figure out where they are... From information gathered from someone who worked at MedTech Ambulance in Rhode Island in the past, they used to use handheld/...

I just programmed ICE TG 562 into my TRX-2 today and I am picking up Access Ambulance on the Fall River, MA, the West Bridgewater, MA and the Johnston, RI towers (only 3 ICE towers that I am currently scanning). Further listening may reveal clues if this is strictly a TG for Access Ambulance or if i...

I don't know of anyone specific in your area but, if one exists, I would suggest you contact a local full-service TV sales/repair shop in your area that does OTA TV antenna installations as I'm sure they would be able to install an antenna mast for you. The other option (although it might be more co...

FYI in case anyone needs a new or longer replacement USB cable for their Whistler SD card scanner (WS1080, WS1088, WS1095, WS1098, TRX-1 or TRX-2) I purchased a 6-foot AmazonBasics cable for my TRX-2...

Hello, I also see a HobbyTown listed off of I-93 Exit 4 at the Apple Tree Mall in Londonderry, NH. It is on the opposite side of the highway from the former Rivendell Ham Store. 73 Eric Is that HobbyTown in Londonderry, NH also a RadioShack Express location? The reason I ask is that I see it listed...

As a followup to my post #35 above regarding a carrying case for the SDS100, I have some interesting information to pass along. A member (budevans) at Radio Reference has posted that his Scanner Master soft leather case for the Uniden BCD436HP fits his new SDS100 scanner perfectly including the cuto...

I have some information to add to my SDS100 review posted above in post #35. There are currently 3 optional upgrades available for purchase for the SDS100 and they are ProVoice, DMR/MotoTRBO and NXDN. The easiest and cheapest way to add any of those upgrades is to purchase them directly from Uniden ...

Anymore updates on these units from some locals that have them? I don't read radio reference and am curious to learn more. I can tell you that the performance on Simulcast Trunking is VASTLY superior to any other scanners I have used previously including the Uniden BCD396XT, Uniden BCD996XT and the...
