Geez folks, one of the reasons why I actively listen to a scanner in my car is to know about areas where I DON'T want to be. I want to AVOID areas with police, fire or paramedic activity. It's the same reason why I use the XM Navtraffic feature on my GPS receiver.

Nope, not even close. Like I said, we were driving on 125-S at 94. Isn't that what I said immediately above? Please check the first set of coordinates. Thanks. Ah, you posted before I finished editing. Silly me. BTW, I had just visited the vicinity of the radio site at N33:09:32.18 W116:35:55.95 (a...

Uh, what Southbound 125 to Southbound 805 offramp? Oops, I obviously got that wrong! It was on a transition ramp though. Fortunately my GPSR was turned on at the time. Consulting the track log, I think it was either as the Southbound 125 crosses the 94 at or near N32 44.644 W117 01.076 on 08/26/200...

We were driving on 125-S at 94 between 3 and 4 pm today, and a big flatbed oversized trailer hauling a mobile-home lost its axle or something right in front of us. It appears there were no collisions, as people were staying back anyway, and I had a clear view of the mini-explosion and parts shootin...

With the PRO-96 and PRO-2096, for each bank into which you program a trunked system like RCS in closed mode, you can monitor up to 150 separate talkgroups. Those 150 talkgroups are split into 5 (numbered 0 through 4) sets of 30 talkgroups (numbered 0 through 29) each. Each set of 30 talkgroups can b...

I finally installed the permanent NMO antenna mounts on my car. I did it myself because the labor estimates from the pros I contacted were way too high for my blood. Messing with the headliner ("we gotta drop it") is very time consuming ('we have to remove and put back all that trim")...

Yes, I listen to them occasionally. The Socalscan website http://members.cox.net/socalscan/ has system details.

Well, that's not surprising. Does anyone honestly want to deciate an expensive digital scanner to providing a live RCS feed?

It's been back since at least November.

So what do you guys/gals think of 3/8 hole NMO mounts as opposed to 3/4 hole NMO mounts? I've been told that the smaller 3/8 hole makes the mounting significantly stronger. While we're on the subject, what do you think of RG8X coax in mobile installations? I know, it's solid core. But man, the loss ...
