WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Here's a pic of the Diamond D-777 antenna I put up today:



All I gotta do now is save up for enough RG-213 to goo all the way back to the house. At the moment I can listen to the scanner on the back verandah, which is quite pleasant in this weather.

(Thanks for hosting the pic Gavin!)

Good work, Steve

It's always hard to find Diamond antenna info on the net, but this is a link for those who are interested.

Marto - what program do you use to record scanner audio? I use VRS and find it really easy and reliable.

Sweet looking units....on which band do they operate? and what do you use them for?

I believe the handheld is a Motorola XTS5000

He could run various bands here is some more info

The Motorola XTS 5000 portable radio is designed to offer multiple frequency band solutions for perfect system optimization in congested urban areas or wider country regions. Motorola currently offers the 700/800 MHz dual band (764-870MHz), the VHF band (136-174 MHz), UHF Range 1 band (380-470 MHz), and UHF Range 2 band (450-520 MHz).

I didn't really have any recording software and wasn't sure what to try so at the present I am just using CD Spin Doctor from Toast 8.

So VRS - worth a look at?

Have a look at scanrec (www.davee.com)

That looks to be windows based, my OS is Tiger

Try this
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I use VRS because it creates a new file for each transmission, with a time and date stamp so you can easily find what you are looking for (also very handy if you need to log audio for an emergency service organisation - nice to be able to go back and hear a distress call or how someone handled a situation etc). You can record upto 32 different inputs, you can upload the audio automatically to a webpage to monitor it remotely, many more options of audio compression than scanrec and more. Unfortunately it comes with a price....
