Digital modes, like P25, NXDN, DMR and others will use FDMA, TDMA, or both allow multiple transmissions to share a single frequency at the same time.
FDMA or Frequency Division Multiple Access divides a current carrier frequency into multiple parts, allowing for multiple users to operate on the same time on the same frequency.
TDMA or Time Division Multiple Access divides a current transmission over time, allowing for 2 or more users to share a the same frequency at the same time, depending on the digital protocol that is used.
The ability for these digital transmissions to place multiple users on the same frequency allows for better management of the limited radio spectrum resource.
Not only does this allow for more frequencies to be distributed, but allows for end licenses to do more with a single radio license.
Learn the differences between FDMA and TDMA in this week's podcast.

Imagine knowing that your scanner radio has a full signal, but you can't hear anything.
Maybe you're listening to a p25 trunk system, but you can't listen to any of the activity.
You can see your scanner is trying to go to a voice channel. It's trying to work. But you hear nothing.
How frustrating does this sound?
For many, this is a common occurrence when they try to listen to a P25 Simulcast site on their scanner radios.
Let’s figure out why this is happening and some simple solutions you can try to overcome simulcast.

The Nextel Conundrum:
Originally established as a convenient communication solution for small businesses, Nextel swiftly expanded its services to include cellular telephony.
However, the positioning of Nextel within the RF spectrum, sandwiched besides public safety frequencies, combined with its network built for capacity, led to unprecedented challenges.
The dense clustering of Nextel sites interfered with public safety radios, prompting the necessity for rebanding.
Rebanding entailed a complex realignment of frequencies to mitigate interference issues. This intricate shuffle involved relocating Nextel closer to cellular carriers while carving out exclusive bands for public safety entities. This relocation of the 800Mhz public safety spectrum, known as rebanding, posed a significant problem for scanner enthusiasts who monitored many Motorola trunking systems in the 800Mhz band.
The impact of rebanding reverberated through the scanner radio community, rendering many radios obsolete overnight.
Today, we still need to be aware of systems that are operating in the rebanded spectrum and ensure our radios are programmed correctly to monitor these systems.

Once upon a time, we only had analog trunked radio systems. These systems all had analog voice talk groups.
These systems included Motorola Type I, Motorola Type IIi, Motorola Type II, EDACS, and LTR systems.
Today, we are living in a digital trunked environment, where there are no analog voice channels. All voice is done using a form of digital modulation. These systems include P25, DMR, and NXDN.
But, we had an in between. This is where we had digital talk groups on an analog trunked system. On a Motorola Type II system, we could find P25 talk groups. On EDACS systems, we'd find ProVoice talk groups.
This podcast will discuss analog and digital systems, and explain why our older P25 scanners like a Uniden BC785D will not work on today's P25 Trunked systems.

There are two distinct flavors of trunked radio systems that we need to be aware of when programming our scanners.
There are systems that require that every frequency for each site be programmed into their pre-determined channel number, and those that do not.
Systems that require every frequency be programmed into our scanners in their designated sequence are Logical Channel Numbered systems and include EDACS, LTR, and all flavors of DMR.
Control channel only systems only require the control channels to be programmed into our scanners, as those systems have a predetermined channel mapping as part of their system protocol. These systems include Motorola Type II systems and P25 Trunked systems.
However, don't let "Control Channel Only" fool you. There is a best practice that you should be aware of that most miss when programming your scanners. We cover that and more in this week's podcast.

Did you know that trunked radio systems are just like an orchestra?
There are several parts in each that work in harmony.
In our latest podcast, we compare the two to make it easier for you to understand exactly how a trunked system works.
We also dive into why trunked systems are an excellent way of utilizing the limited radio frequency resources.

Welcome to the first in a series of classes that we are calling "Scanner Radio University".
Over the next several weeks and months, we will be covering topics that will not only be geared towards those just entering the hobby, but topics that maybe you needed to overlook because a lot of today scanners just work out of the box or with computer assisted programming.
This week, we will cover the basics of what scanner radio is, who uses them, where to buy one, and where to get help.

The Yaesu FT-60R has to be one of the longest radios available for purchase.
First released in 2004, the FT-60R is still for sale, 20 years later!
Yes, this is a Ham Radio, but this rugged two way radio has a wide enough receiver that it could be used as a conventional only scanner radio.
While it lacks some of the bells and whistles that most scanner radios have, this radio has enough going for it that the losses can be overlooked.
Today’s review is broken down into 3 parts. A general summary review, a amateur radio review, and a scanner radio review.

How does the Radio Reference obtain the data that it publishes?
Is it from Federal Licensed Databases or other online frequency repositories?
Nope!
It comes from Scannerds like you and I. In other words, the data that is inside the Radio Reference database is user contributed data that has been confirmed.
We’ll cover how you can find and submit data in this podcast episode, and cover the differences between paid and premium accounts.

Garrett Farwell returns to the podcast this week to talk about his recent trip from California to Colorado aboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr.
How does a “Scannerd” occupy their time while on a multi-day and multi-state land cruise? With their portable scanner of course!
Garrett shares how he prepared for his trip using online resources to find frequencies he might be interested in monitoring on his journey and how one last minute surprise really helped him get his trip off on the right “track”.
I always look forward to having Garrett on the podcast and would like to thank him again for sharing what he has learned on this trip with the “Scannerd” community.

David Vine returns to the podcast this week to share alternative uses to Ham Radios.
Not only can you use VHF and UHF Ham Radios to talk and monitor amateur radio frequencies, but you can use most of them to monitor outside the amateur radio band. This means many ham radios can also be used as basic scanner radios.
Frequencies that can be monitored will vary by make and model, but for the most part, expect to be able to monitor the VHF and UHF public safety bands with a VHF or UHF ham radio.
Setting up scan lists and alpha tagging frequencies are most likely different from what you are used to with your scanner, but if you learn how to use a radio within its limits, you may find that having a ham radio and using it as a receiver, could really add value to your radio collection.
And yes, I do give Baofeng radios a virtual poke in the ribs, but if you can use a radio like that or something similar to monitor a single or short list of conventional analog channels, then that could free up your scanner to monitor other activity. And the more radios you have monitoring less frequencies, then the more activity you’ll hear and enjoy.

Scanners and Receivers are more cousins than brothers and sisters.
Both receive frequencies, both can scan frequencies, and both do not transmit.
However, each has their own strong points and weaknesses when it comes to tuning, range, and features.
Found out if you should buy a receiver for your radio arsenal in this podcast episode.

Are you looking for a creative way to build a radio bond with your child?
Have you tried to scan something they can relate to, such as their own school?
When your child hears a teacher, faculty, or staff that they know and can recognize talking on the radio, it could spark an interest for scanning within them.
Scanning your child’s school can also be of interest during times where the school has engaged their own safety protocols and have locked down. Or, it could be interesting to hear about late pickups, routine maintenance, or other day to day activities.
Remember, there is more to scanning than just public safety, and the secrets are in the searches!

For many, you can’t talk about scanning without mentioning Larry Van Horn.
Larry has influenced many in the hobby when it comes to Military Monitoring. He wrote for Monitoring Time Magazine for many years and continued to write for “The Spectrum Monitor” once MT ceased publication.
Not only was Larry a wealth of information when it came to Military Monitoring, but his yearly airshow columns were second to none.
Larry, N5FPW, spent many years monitoring and sharing information. Larry was special, in that he never forgot anything, which helped when writing his many column and publications.
This week’s podcast is a conversation Larry and I had that originally aired as Podcast # 178.
Larry’s legacy will live on for decades to come and I know I’ll miss his columns on future editions of TSM.
Larry Van Horn, N5FPW, retired US Navy Chief Petty Officer, Author, Contributor, mentor, and friend. You will be missed.

If you’ve ever wanted to create or build your own scanner accessories, 3D printing may be an exciting avenue to start exploring.
Matt Neely has been bitten by the 3D Printing bug, and has already printed many scanner radio accessories for a fraction of what ‘store bought’ products would cost.
Imagine printing your own replacement parts. This includes belt clips, channel, squelch, and volume control knobs.
Maybe even SDS100 battery door retainer clips or desk stands.
Free plans for many parts and pieces are available right now on thingaverse.com
And you might even be able to create these parts locally, even if you don’t already own a 3D Printer of your own.
Matt knows all the ins and outs of printing replacement parts at home, and will teach you how to create your own on today’s podcast.

Icom recently displayed their newest receiver at the 2023 Tokyo Hamfest.
This is being called the successor to the IC-R30, but I completely disagree. It lacks most of the features that made the IC-R30 great. To call it a successor, based on the released specs, is an insult to the former model.
The IC-R15 looks to be a neutered receiver and does not include the frequency ranges commonly found on most of the Icom receivers that predated this new model.
I, for one, am hopeful that these preliminary specs are incorrect and we will see a more robust version of this receiver come from Icom in the next few months.

Yes - the podcast will remain - but there is something new that is in the works that will make the podcast even better, and more enjoyable for you.

Finally - after 20 years in my house I'm finally able to build my radio room the way I want it.
I've had 2 temporary locations that always looked like a hodgepodge of radios, computers, and wires. Frankly, each was an embarrassment in their own right.
But - no matter how bad they looked in my opinion, they were functional. And that is the story here! Whether you have a single radio on a desk, nightstand, or on your hip, whatever works best for you is perfectly fine! We don’t need perfect places to call home to our radios.
Will my new room be perfect? I hope so, but I’m sure there will be things I’m going to want to change before I even start putting my radios back onto my desks.
Follow me on my social media channels to get a glimpse of this new spot, what it means to the podcast, and what new topics this new room will allow me to create. Links are at the bottom of this description.

Scanner radios, with some small exceptions, come in two form factors. Handheld for portable use, or desktop/mobile for single location installations.
Which type of scanner is right for your needs?
If you are looking for your first or next scanner and can’t decide between a handheld or desktop scanner, I have 5 reasons why you should consider a portable radio.

Be part of the action!
Hear breaking news reports directly from an eye in the sky.
Receive your traffic updates every minute or two instead of when the local FM Radio Station wants to cycle the traffic reports every 10 minutes.
Monitoring Traffic and News helicopters is usually something you can monitor with an analog only scanner.
But as is the case in some locations, what you can and cannot listen to may vary based on where you live.
Using your favorite flight tracking app or website, you can also set up notification to alert you when media helicopter are airborne and possibly on the scene of breaking news.

Patients who run out of patience.
Missing kids, life saving alerts, and routine messages.
Hospitals can be exciting to monitor! You never know what might come next.
And as many of you know, I had a short stay in a hospital a few months ago. Finding those frequencies and talk groups were not as easy as looking at Radio Reference. The hospital I was staying at was not in the database. This podcast explains how I was able to find those frequencies and talkgroups.
In addition, we had a few emergency room visits with no warning in the distand and recent past. Having a radio already programmed for a local hospital could be handy to have.

This coming weekend, the 4th Saturday of June, Field Day. An annual test of emergency preparedness in the amateur radio community and a contest to see how many other stations you can make contact with in 24 hours.
Tom Dean, KC2SJM, joins us today to speak about how much fun he is having on amateur radio, without the need to advance beyond the technician class license.
Tom speaks all over the word and is active in his local community. Helping the Red Cross during drills, local races and hamfest, and enjoying the local ham radio community.
If you are interested in amateur radio and hear this podcast before the weekend, check out http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator to find a local group in your area. You don’t need to be an active ham or licensed to stop by a club and check it out.

I want to welcome a great radio friend, David Vine back to the podcast this week.
David has a wealth of information when it comes to the radio hobby and has many presentations that he’s prepared for multiple radio groups.
David returns this week to share a presentation about how frequencies are distributed and organized here in the United States, and across the world.
Frequency Allocation is important, because it not only helps vendors create RF Hardware for certain end users. For example, transmitters, radios, antennas, and back end and interoperable equipment.
Allocation is also important so that adjacent countries can plan between each other and even satellite uplinks and downlinks can remain on spectrum that will not be interfered with.
Allocation is important when it comes to global communication with both aviation and marine traffic.
I love having David on the podcast, and I hope that he returns again soon to share another presentation.

I want to take a second away from the scanner radio hobby to talk about my battle with Prostate Cancer.
I'd like to share my story as a warning.
If you are one who skips yearly physicals, I hope this persuades you into going.
Why?
Because it was a simple blood test at a physical that uncovered my Stage 3 Cancer.
I had no symptoms. There were no flashing lights or red flags. And only a doctor's check box on a blood screen uncovered what was hidden and lurking inside of me.
This is a story of my diagnosis and treatment to date (presurgery).
We'll return to our normal scanner radio content next week.

🧢 Beaker Breaker 1 - 9
You need to make this change in your scanners if you monitor CB, Good Buddy!
Here in the US, CB Radio has been primarily been AM or SSB. But there is a new modulation for CB, and it's FM!
FM on CB will have many benefits, such as the ability to use PL or DPL, but will it be adopted here in the US?
All those answers, and more, are in this week's podcast.

Amateur Radio Operators are very resourceful when it comes to surplus equipment.
Did you know that there are P25, NXDN, and DMR amateur radio repeaters in most corners of the world? These repeaters are easily linked, allowing world wide communications during emergencies, events, and day to day activities.
There are also HAM specific digital voice networks, like DSTAR, YSF, and M17 that you can easily monitor.
There is also a Scanner Radio Net on DMR you can check out. Details are in the podcast.

Did you ever get the feeling like you were missing transmissions on your scanner radio?
Maybe you hear one half and then the scanner goes back in a scan mode and you never hear the rest of the conversation - leaving you hanging?
What happens next? What did you miss?
I have some suggestions to help avoid these problems on this week's podcast.

Did you ever wonder how large, short term, temporary events with many moving parts, details, and staff all communicate?
Some examples of these events include the Professional Golf Association Tournaments, Live Broadcasts from the Country Music Awards, large Air Shows, or Public Safety Communications.
Here in the US, the FCC can issue an STA, or Special Temporary Authority, granting access to frequencies on a temporary secondary nature for use during this short term event.
Let's go through the process and discover how you can easily find STA's that have recently been issued in the US.

Freescan is free programming software that supports the Uniden DMA family of scanners.
This means that it will not work on Home Patrol scanners or older Uniden scanners with standard memory programming.
Freescan software is no longer being developed by the original author, but has been added to GitHub and updates have been added to newer forks.
Free scan allows you to import from the Radio Reference database, you can copy from clipboard, or you can enter information in manually programming.
Conventional systems and trunk system programming is simple thanks to the graphical interface provided by Freescan.
Not only can you use Freescan to program your radio, but you can use it to log hits and audio as well as control your scanner with a virtual scanner interface on your screen.
To download free scan, visit https://www.scannerschool.com/freescan
We will have video tutorial on how to use all the features in Freescan on our YouTube channel shortly. Be sure to subscribe at https://www.scannerschool.com/youtube .

The Yaesu VX-6R is a modern classic Ham Radio.
So why should you use this as a scanner radio?
It doesn't trunk. It doesn't do any digital modes. The alpha tags are limited to just 6 characters, and it's nearly 20 years old.
Yep, doesn't seem like this one has many positives when you scratch the surface, but there is more here than meets the eye!
The Yaesu VX-6R receives nearly from .5 MHz - 998.0 MHz.
It receives Broadcast AM & FM, Shortwave (AM), VHF-Lo, Aviation, MilAir, Business Bands, FRS, MURS, GMRS, and of course VHF and UHF Amateur Radio Bands.
This longtime selling radio is water tight, has a HUGE following in the prepper community, and will run circles around any Baofeng.
Selling for around $249 USD, this radio is almost as much as a Whistler WS1040 or WS1065, but neither is water tight, will receive AM or FM Broadcast, or Shortwave.
There are plenty of other reasons to think about putting one of these radios into your Scanner Radio collection. This podcast will continue to outline more reasons to think about the VX-6R.

This was a great conversation and I want to thank John for being a part of the experience.

Mike Henson is relatively new to the scanner radio hobby, but has quickly found Military Aviation and Photography to be a very interesting and rewarding hobby.
Mike shares his setup, which started out as a single radio, and has now grown into several dedicated scanners and a recording interface to log all the local Military Aviation traffic.
What is interesting about Mike's setup, is his keep is simple approach to his setup, which means he is using mostly handheld radios feeding into a portable audio recorder.
Besides photographing and monitoring MilAir, Mike enjoys building different antennas to help improve his reception.
Our conversation will be reposted soon on YouTube in shorter form, so please enjoy our full conversation on today's podcast.

David Vine joins the podcast this week to talk about radio. I am looking forward to having him back as a regular.
David is all about this hobby. From Scanning, GMRS, and Ham, he has immersed himself with the radio hobby. So much so that he has involved himself with many local clubs and organizations.
His love of the hobby does not end there. David has created many presentations about the radio hobby, specifically ham, that can also be carried over to the scanner radio hobby.
Today's conversation is an introduction to who David is. You'll learn all about his radio history, what makes him tick, and a little about some of the presentations that he will hopefully share with us one day.
I hope this podcast conversation is one of many that David and I will share.

Les Stephenson, from the Toronto area of Canada, has a long, rich history when it comes to the scanning hobby.
Les was introduced to scanning as a teen in 1959 and has been hooked ever since.
His near lifelong interest with scanning has seen just about every change in technology. From tunable dials, crystals, and synthesized tuners, to trunking and digital interfaces.
Les is also very opinionated when it comes to encryption because most of his scanning has been unfiltered.
It is my pleasure to introduce you our podcast guest, Les Stephenson.

I believe we are overdue for a new HomePatrol from Uniden.
The HomePatrol was originally released in late 2010.
The BCD436HP & BCD536HP was released in January 2014.
Later that year, we saw the HomePatrol-2.
Since then, we've only seen one more release on the HomePatrol platform, and that was the SDS100 and SDS200 in 2019. These scanners allowed us to monitor Simulcast P25 systems and I believe that this is a great starting point for a new HomePatrol-3.
This podcast includes more wishlist items that would be great to see in an updated HomePatrol style scanner radio that follows up the HP-1 and HP-2 scanners.

Why is one of my favorite nights to listen to the scanner radio New Years Eve?
That is because my scanner allows me to get behind the scenes to the biggest New Years Eve party in the United States.
Every year in Times Square, the ball drops at midnight and the entire event is televised on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years with Ryan Seacrest.
Using my scanner, I'm able to hear the link between the director and the remote cameras and hosts. I'm able to listen to them queue in the next shot and also hear them record "B-Roll" as soon as the sun goes down.
But not only am I able to hear behind the scenes, but I'm also able to hear coordination from NYPD and DSNY.
This podcast lays out how I hear all of this activity and how you might be able to listen to similar activity in your area. I'll also tell you how you can listen to my live scanner feed as well.

Joey Absi talks about how he built his own scanner radio using a Raspberry Pi and Free Software.
Joey's home built scanner went through several revisions before it became what it is today. And while most of what Joey built can be duplicated at home, he did design some of his own circuits to build a better version.

Garrett joins the podcast again this week to talk about how multiple different agencies and jurisdictions communicate in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Garrett spent quite a bit of time listening to the interop channels in his area to determine how and when they would be used.
One note that Garrett does want to stress, is that how things work in his area may not be the same as how the work in yours.
As we always say here, "The Secrets are in the Searches", and Garrett did an amazing job searching out how his local agencies work together so that he could enjoy the scanner radio hobby a little be more!

Bringing a Scanner to Washington DC can be very exciting and also very confusing.
There are a lot of “Alphabet” agencies to try to listen to, but many are encrypted. Even Police activity is secure.
But, if you know what other agencies are around, you’ll quickly see there are ways to connect the dots and still know what is happening around our Nation’s Capital.
Joseph Durnal, who spends a lot of time in DC, joins the podcast today to share what he’s learned about monitoring the activity in the DC metro area.

Nobody wants to get burned when buying and selling online.
The internet can be a very unsafe place to exchange cash for goods, especially when you let your guard down.
I’ve been buying and selling radios online for several decades now, and I’ve learned a few hard mistakes, and I’ve also learned how to be cautious as well.
Here are some tips to staying safe online when you buy and sell radio equipment.

Clayton runs “Moorpark Scanner”, a popular Facebook Page which is a citizen journalist style account.
At only 20 years old, Clayton has an edge that many of us do not have when it comes to social media. His pages have a professional appearance and he understands how to bring attention to his photos and updates online.
To help him monitor local activity, he has been able to trade his way up from entry-level handheld scanners to more advanced P25 radios. Pretty impressive!

Do you know how to find Pirates, Anomalies, and odd transmissions?
Our guest today, “Radio McRadioface” hunts out these transmissions from his location just outside of Washington DC.
He is always tuning around looking for interesting transmission and keeping logs on what he is finding.

Today, we welcome Andrew Murphy. Andrew loves to build and work on his own antennas. Whether it's improving or rebuilding a commercial design, something that he has seen in a magazine, or one he has designed himself, Andrew has an antenna for every situation and band.
What makes today’s conversation with Andrew truly amazing is that Andrew doesn’t have acres of property to play with. Most of his antennas are inside his apartment and they work great!

Ricky Radio, Ricky Rescue, or Scanner Stan. These are the stooges we want to not emulate when we are out in public with our scanners.
We don’t want to draw extra attention to ourselves and become the guy who goes overboard.
Don’t be the guy with the scanner radio up to his ear at full volume.
We don’t need to be the guy at the fire with the radio up telling everyone around what is going on. And we don’t need to be the guy at the accident scene giving out information when we hear the ambulance talking to medical personnel.

Today we will be talking about War driving with your scanner radio to find frequencies that are in use during your day-to-day travels.
War driving is a term that comes from the Wi-Fi cracking or hacking hobby which basically means searching for open Wi-Fi wireless networks usually from a moving vehicle using a laptop or a smartphone.
“War Driving” can be one of the more interesting ways to find new frequencies.

When I bought my first Airspy, I realized that I was really starting to get serious into the SDR side of the hobby.
Before my Airspy’s, I was buying the cheap SDR’s that did not have a TCXO and would seriously drift. It was a joy to start using the Airspy receivers.
Since then, cheap RTL style SDR’s with TCXO’s have come out on the market that reduce the drifting issue.
If you are looking for a reliable Software Defined Radio that works right out of the box, then you want an Airpsy SDR.

Being here on Long Island, we are obviously surrounded by water on all sides.
One of my favorite things to scan during the summertime are the VHF Marine Channels, as well as the USCG “CG”, “LANT” or “NET” frequencies (whatever they are called these days).
I’d like to thank Greg Weamer for suggesting this week’s podcast topic. If you have a topic you’d like me to cover, please let me know.

The Anytone TT-878UVII Plus is a very popular Amateur Radio used for DMR.
Since it also covers outside the VHF and UHF Ham Band and covers DMR, it could be used to scan some conventional traffic. Or can it?
Let’s discuss using this popular radio for scanning and decide if this radio is worth adding to our scanner radio collection.

Have we reached the end of the scanner radio hobby?
I know many feel this way due to encryption and a lack of new scanner radio models being released.
However, this hobby has been around for decades and there is no reason why we can’t enjoy this hobby in some form or another for decades to come.
Some Feel / Think:
How is might be wrong
What can we listen to now that should always be there?
My Thoughts
Conclusion:
Scanning will continue to be here for years and decades to come, as long as there is something out there to listen to.

This week we are talking about Bill Cheek, a huge pioneer in the scanner radio world
If he was still alive today and saw what is available in the scanner radio market, he would probably lose his mind
Maybe he would have realized his life goal and would have built a scanner that would completely turn the market on its head.

Chris Parris returns to the podcast to talk about the biggest football game of the year. Chris was last on the podcast to talk about Federal Scanning.
Chris writes a monthly column for the spectrum monitor, an online digital magazine dedicated to the radio monitoring hobby, including scanning and shortwave listening.
Chris’s column, “The Fed Files”, has been a favorite of mine since he was writing for Monitor Times magazine, and his website is full of great information when it comes to federal monitoring.

Here is a question that I get asked from time to time:
“How do I optimize the scanning lists in my scanner?”
This is an important question, because when our scanners are scanning, we can miss transmissions elsewhere. So it is important to be as efficient as possible when setting up your scan lists.
Now, the answer may not be as straight forward as you might think, so here is my thought process on setting up a scan list on a radio:

Today’s podcast episode is all about the KISS Principle.
Everybody has a different way or thought process on how things should be done.
If you are just getting started with the hobby, or you have been in a hobby for a very long time and trying to learn about something new or trying to clean up something you have done, you can get lost in the woods.
Today’s podcast gives you permission to take a step back and come at your setup from a different perspective.

What features would you like to see in the next Flagship Scanner Radio by Uniden, Whistler, or someone else?
I have my own wishlist and I think many of these features are overdue in today’s scanner radio market.
In fact, many of my requests are already available on other radios, including radios like Baofeng and TYT to name a few.
Some of what I’d like to see on a Flagship Radio:
Check out more of my wishlist and even some ways manufacturers could include these without driving prices up inside this podcast.

On today’s episode, I will go through my slides on my presentation for Ham Radio University, which I normally do every year.
This is my practice run for the presentation that I gave at HRU on January 8, 2022.
If HRU publishes the presentation, we will follow up with a link.
This presentation is for those who are new to the scanner radio hobby, or need a quick reset and want to have a bit of a refresher on some scanner radio topics and terms.
If you need more help with your scanner, you can book me for a 1 hour tutoring session at www.scannerschool.com/tutoring

Kenneth Fowler, a past guest several times over, is today’s guest on the podcast.
Kenneth and I discuss how encryption has changed his scanning habits.
His local police and fire have encrypted, but this has not stopped Kenneth from enjoying the scanner radio hobby.
Today, Kenneth shares how he is scanning other agencies to gather the same information he would have received if he was listening to police or fire.
Our conversation fall back to what I like to say: We don’t thow out our TV’s because our favorite show is now has been cancelled. We find other things to watch on the TV. The same should hold true of scanning. Just because our favorite agency has encrypted, it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything else left to listen to on our radios.

Looking at things from multiple angles may help you think about whether it is time for you to consider upgrading a scanner.
Do you want a new scanner because it’s time to buy something new, or is it needed to keep up with changes to your local systems?

Scanning goes beyond hearing what comes across the radio. Sometimes we need to take clue on what to listen to by what is happening around us.
Having a personal weather station can help us tune into emergency communications that might be happening right outside our doors.
Today, we will cover what to look for when selecting a weather station, what your options are, and what mistakes I have made with prior weather stations I have owned in the past.

It is time for our annual radio buyer’s guide.
In the past few years, I have offered a list of scanners that I would recommend.
However, since there haven’t been any new releases in the scanner radio world in the last few years, I do not want to repeat the same information that I gave you last year.
Instead, I’m going to give you my recommendation for Software Defined Radios.
This list will include what to stay away from, and what radios I recommend from beginners to advanced SDR users.
Why cover Software Defined Radios? Because I believe that the future of scanner radios will somehow be part of the software-defined radio hobby.

Let’s talk about some Baofeng Options.
Our objective is to find a radio that has the same price point that many Baofeng models come in at, but are better value for the money.
We will be looking at some handheld radios that are less than $100 that might be worth investing in.

If you listen to the podcast, it’s no big secret that I give Baofeng and similar radios a bad rap.
Not surprisingly, I have a list of things I dislike about these radios.
But as shocking as it sounds, I have a larger list of things that are great about these affordable two way radios that many use as scanner radios.

Welcome to podcast number 200!
I can't believe we've recorded, published, and shared this many episodes. It seems like last we just start this a few weeks ago and here we are at episode 200.
In these past few years, I've made many friendships and connections due to the podcast.
This includes all of those who I've gotten to know as a part of our Patreon Extra Credit Round Table that we hold every month.
This podcast episode is a peek into our Extra Credit Club and what it would sound like on our monthly calls.
To mark episode 200, those participating in the zoom call got to pick my brain and ask me any questions that were on their minds. You are listening to this conversation in today's podcast.
So - thank you to all of you who have listened, shared, and became part of the podcast. Thanks to all that are part of our community and for those who back the podcast on Patreon.
And for everyone who was there earlier this month to help record this podcast episode, whether you asked a question or not, thank you!

Do you need an outdoor antenna?
This used to be an obvious question and answer. But now things have changed in the hobby that may have you choosing to skip the antenna installation.
A crucial part of getting into the hobby was putting out an antenna on your chimney. It was a rite of passage running coax cable and poking holes in your wall, having your parents or wife scream at you for doing damage to the house.

Nathan McMullen joins the podcast today to explain how he setup his Unication G-Series pager. Nathan has taken several multi-state road trips with his pager and was able to listen to public safety during his trip.
Nathan explains how he setup his pager, what needs to be done before the trip, and some things he wished he did differently while taking a multi-mile trip with his pager.
Note – while I am a Unication Dealer, I am coming into this conversation with Nathan as a scanner radio user. I am asking questions specific to the scanner radio hobby.
If you are interested in Unication pagers, I sell all of their paging products at eastcoastpagers.com

The Scanning hobby is ever-changing.
Who would have though that at the start of the 2010's we would see touch screen scanners, be able to receive DMR and NXDN, and also use SDR's to pickup almost any signal out there?
What will the next one hold?
In this podcast, we discuss what has happened over the last decade in scanning and what might be coming in the future.
What do you predict we will see in the hobby in the next 10 years?

We spoke about the dangers of using commercial radios on Session 81 of the podcast
In this podcast, we talk about an actual incident of stolen radios that occurred in the Ohio MARCS P25 System.
Several people were arrested for “stealing” and “pirating” stolen radios IDS that belong on the OHIO MARC Trunk Radio System.
Those arrested were charged with the following:
What You Need To Know
Remember - this is now on the radar. People have been charged with possessing, selling, and programming commercial radios.
If you want to monitor a trunk radio system, you are far safer to do so with a communications scanner and not a two way radio. If someone sees you using a two way radio, it can look suspicious.
And now that people have been charged with this, what is to say there won’t be more people in possession of personal two way radios that are monitoring a trunk system find themselves in trouble with the law as well.
It is better to be safe than sorry!

This is a question I see often on websites like Radio Reference and on Facebook Groups.
How do I find the correct scanner for me?
Or - I just bought this radio, will it work?
Or - Why can't I hear my local police, what is wrong with my new radio?
Or - How come nobody told me this wouldn't work!?!?
Today we'll decode some of the information in the Radio Reference Database so you can pick the right scanner for your area.
I also have a nice script in the session notes that you can use if you want to ask others what scanners work for them in your area.

I am asked this question often - how do you record your scanner so you can go back at later date and time to play back the audio
Why would you do this?
Maybe you are looking for activity on a range of frequencies
Maybe you are looking for new talk groups
Maybe you are looking to figure out who is using a frequency or talk group
Maybe you want to know why the local rescue services are on their block and they weren't’ around to hear the dispatch (by the way this is where pagers come in very handy)
Who uses recorded audio?
Milair communications and aviation are big into recording audio
Fire Photographers and videographers want audio for their productions or to be able to summarize details about the photo or video gallery
News agencies want to play back the audio

Many of us have multiple scanner radios in our setup. But for those of you starting off, you may wonder why we do this.
I remember when I first entered the scanner radio hobby, I couldn't think of a single reason why I would want or need multiple scanners going at the same time.
Today we'll break down the benefits of scanning with multiple receivers.

We learn a lot from our fathers. We pass a lot to our children.
This past Sunday was Father's Day in the US.
Scanning is something that not only did my father pass along to me, but something that even my 5 year old has shown interest in.
I feel it is very important to pass on a piece of you to the next generation. My father was able to pass several important traits and hobbies onto me, including scanning.
Has scanning been passed onto you or did you pass the hobby onto your children? I hope so.

Ham Radio University is an annual event on Long Island. While most of the topics at the event are centered around Amateur Radio, not all of the forums are strictly geared to the Ham hobby.
There are plenty of talks and activities that can be used in the scanner radio hobby as well.
Today's podcast is my presentation from HRU 2019. While some of the presentation is geared to those of us on Long Island, many of the topics are useful no matter where you live.
If you have been a long time listener of the Scanner School podcast, this session will be a great refresher on some of the content that we talked about over the past year.

Cheap Chinese Radio Reviews
They go by many names
Baofeng, Pofeng, BTECH, Puxing, Retevis, Rugged Radios, TYT, and Wouxun.... to name a few
Cheap Chinese Two Way Radios that have become very popular with the scanner radio crowd.
What you need to knowThese cheap chinese radios are a bargain. For under $30, you can pick up a two way radio from Amazon that will cover the VHF and UHF spectrum.
If you are a licensed amateur radio operator, this radio can save you a pretty penny if you are just starting out in the hobby.
But many people buy these as extra radios and may use them as scanners.
Today, I've reviewed the basics on these cheap radios and why many are buying them.
I also explain what to look out for and some warning when purchasing these.
We have some radios you may be interested in our show notes at www.scannerschool.com/session52
Should you buy the G4/G5 or a scanner?
Many have asked about the Unication G4 and G5 pagers, and how they compare to today's scanners.

NXDN stands for Next Generation Digital Narrowband
For an introduction to NXDN, please see last week's podcast at www.scannerschool.com/session43
NXDN Trunking comes in two classes: NXDN-C and NXDN-D
NXDN-C is like most trunking systems. There is a control channel and a set of voice channels.
NXDN-D is similar to LTR Trunking, where you have no dedicated control channel. Your users are listening to a home channel and any channel can be used as a voice channel

NXDN stands for Next Generation Digital Narrowband
NXDN was created in 2003 with a joint venture of Kenwood and Icom. The protocol was announced at IWCE in 2005 and the first units arrived in 2006. It wasn't until 2017 that NXDN was published by the ITU-R as an international digital land mobile system.
NXDN was created to satisfy the 2005 FCC Narrowbanding mandate. Originally created for business users, NXDN is used by public safety and even the military.
Overseeing NXDN development and standards is the NXDN Forum. A 30 member community including JVC Kenwood, Icom, Anritsu, The Boeing Company, and Zetron.
NXDN Comes in 3 flavors
NXDN operates using FDMA over 12.5kHz or 6.25kHz wide bandwidth.

Electrical and RF Grounding - a simple solution for a common problem.
RF Grounding is more important in a transmitting environment than a receiving environment, but scanner listeners can still benefit from grounding their station.
By Grounding your receive station, you may find that you've increased your scanner's sensitivity and eliminated some RF noise.

There are a few ways that you can bring emergency power into your scanner radio setup. But there aren't many ways that can be ready to go in the blink of an eye.
Generators are good, but you wouldn't want to operate one in the middle of a storm. Most generator users don't have them ready to go immediately.
Computer UPS devices could make a good battery standby unit, but you are effectively taking a 12VDC source (batteries), using an inverter to create a dirty AC power source, and then using your scanner's power transformer or your power supply to go back to 12VDC.
You could just wire in a battery with your power supply, but that can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
Or you can pickup the device we talk about in this podcast. A safe, simple, and easy way to add a battery for emergency power in your station.

Time is running out.....
The 2019 annual budget for NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) decreased by $49 Million USD from the 2018 budget.
Due to the decrease in budget, the NIST has decided to pull funding for WWV, WWVB, and WWVH. This move will save NIST $6.3 Million USD.
WWV is one of the oldest radio stations in continuous use. They went on the air in 1920 from Washington DC, broadcasting the time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
WWV, WWVH, and WWVB

Every Scanner needs it's own power brick plugged into your wall. Every other 12 volt device requires it's own wall wart.
The worst part about these adapters is the amount of space they take up. Sometimes they are large enough to cover 2 spaces on your power strip.
How do we clean up this mess?
Power supplies are the perfect way to deliver power to all of those 12volt devices at your scanner radio station. Using a single 12v source for your scanner and 12v accessories, this is a great way to bring some order to the electrical wiring mess in your shack!

MilAir Scanning is different depending on where it is you live.
Today's guest, Michael Man, is a big fan of Military Air monitoring. Since he lives close to a few training facilities, MilAir Scanning is one of this favorite past times.
Michael is lucky enough to live near several practice areas where he can listen to dog fights, refueling exercises, and other ground exercises.
Any scanner that can monitor the MilAir bands and a good outdoor antenna is all that is needed to enjoy MilAir Scanning.
MilAir VHF Frequencies: 118 MHz -136 MHz (AM and FM)
MilAir UHF Frequencies: 225 MHz - 380 MHz (AM)

Field Day - Amateur Radio's Open House!
If you've never been on the air or if you are interested in checking out what Amateur Radio is all about (and if you live in the US), check out Field Day.
Field Day is a contest. The more contacts you make, the more points you get... and it is by far the most popular and publicized event featuring Ham Radio.
But besides being a contest, Field Day is where Amateur Radio operators practice their skills. They operate using emergency power, on temporary antennas, in sometimes uncomfortable conditions.
Field Day is a day to practice getting on the air, making contacts, enjoying a good BBQ, and seeing some old friends that maybe only come out of the woodwork once a year.

Severe Weather Monitoring goes beyond just scanning.
I believe that every home and business should have a weather alert radio in a location that is centralized. A weather alert radio can be a life saving device and should be given the same importance as smoke detectors, CO alarms, Explosive Gas meters, and fire extinguishers.
In this session, we discuss how to use your scanner as a weather alert radio, how to monitor weather activity from SKYWARN via Amateur Radio, GMRS, and FRS.
I also recommend a few dedicated Weather Alert radios that you can purchase for less than $50 (USD).
Step by Step instructions for purchasing and setting up a weather alert radio can be found in the show notes at www.scannerschool.com/session19 or at www.scannerschool.com/wxalert

LTR or Logic Trunked Radio Systems, is a trunking protocol built by E.F. Johnson in the late 1970's. While it is primarily used in my area for business radios, it is the old dinosaur in the trunking world.
There are a few flavors of LTR Trunking. This session focuses on LTR Standard and LTR-Net. We discuss LTR Passport and LTR MultiNet very briefly.
