You are still trying to enter a talkgroup where you're supposed to be entering a frequency, or you have set up the wrong type of trunking system. City of San Diego is a Motorola Smartnet Type II system. You need to sit down, and READ your manual. All of it. Go over how to program trunking systems, a...

Due to the thunderstorm that mosied through here Thursday, I looked around a bit at the various weather radars online. Most, of course, update only every 10-15 minutes at best, and may take longer than that to get the update 'online'. However, I discovered that while Flight Aware has the aircraft po...

XMIT ID: 034003 08650000 Unknown Trunk ID -------- It means that, as I mentioned above, he has the scanner set wrong, so it's adding what are called 'status bits' to the ID codes. 34003 is not a 'valid' Talkgroup for Motorola, all 'valid' base talkgroups are divisible by 16.

Oh, if it hasn't been clear, Escondido City police are on the County RCS north system, they no longer (as fa...

One seems to be down, right now, but the other is still up. Go Here and select the feed from the dropdown menu on the left t...

First thing to check would be if you're getting the control channel in that bank. Start it searching in trunk mode in that bank (The fire one), then hit manual. It should be on a control channel with the data buzz. If it isn't, you don't have the control channels all programmed in, probably. It's po...

The Medical Specimens trucks I drove used that same (looks like) slide out carrier in the bed. They're really toughly built, strong, should have no problems unless you really go nuts overloading them.

Of course, the weight slid out will tilt the vehicle back, but the 'shelf' should be quite sturdy.
