How can LTE be used for radio communications? Long story short LTE is radio communications. Mobile phones are nothing more than a radio communications system being driven by some fairly good smarts. PTToC (Press to Talk on Cellular), Network Radios etc all use the mobile phone network as the basis ...

Anyone in the Rockingham or Baldivis area with a DMR capable scanner mind trying to scan these frequencies? 450.175, 510.150, 511.025, 511.425, 511.825 Just for information, the 500 MHz frequencies listed are repeater inputs. Minus 10 MHz to get the repeater outputs, might make monitoring a little ...

The Transperth (PTA) radio system has changed to a 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) network using the 1800MHz spectrum. It cannot be scanned.

INFORMATION FOR UBCD436PT AND UBCD536PT OWNERS RE THE RECENT RELEASE OF THE DMR FIRMWARE UPGRADE IN THE US. If you have been following this story on a well known overseas forum you will have seen that Uniden America is bascially keeping this latest firmware upgrade in house, that is no international...

That, unfortunately, is the problem. The scanner's capabilities are set in stone. The new digital modes (those that aren't encrypted, anyway) are receivable but not with a handheld scanner, but using a Software Defined Radio. An SDR is essentially a USB TV tuner and some clever software on your PC....

No one is suggesting it is perfect, nothing is. But most of the firmware updates apparent in the US are to do with changes in their 800 MHz trunking assignments and the move to 700 MHz by many public safety agencies. We obviously have not had the same changes therefore the lack of firmware updates....

I agree Yorky, as you said for something so expensive you would think we would get firmware updates like the US counterpart. I have emailed Uniden so will be interesting to see what they say. Ever stop to think that no firmware updates have been issued because they are not needed? What is wrong wit...

They are at it again. The location is at the back of Wauchope in the middle of the scrub.

Hand held whistler scanner after getting one i,can truly say thay run rings around the new Bearcats hp series Whistler scanners are NOT sold in Australia, (the source of this forum), it would have to be imported. Then the problems start, our band plans are different to the US and would require alte...

Ground planes do matter on receive. On strong signals using a roof gutter won't really matter, but on weak signals, the antenna will be noticeably directional. That's the theory and theory is a fine thing. But practice dictates otherwise, after many years in the 'industry' I can say with certainty ...

Can anyone recommend a semi-permanent gutter mount solution? I was looking at purchasing the following antenna to use with my Uniden UBC355XLT scanner: http://www.prestigecom.net.au/axis-scanner-25-1300mhz-antenna-with-base-cable But I need to know the following: 1) How can I feed the cable through...
