I have been a licensed Ham Radio Operator for a couple years and my whole life I have been in to radio communications. Just thought some of this info might help you all who are interested in radio communications. Also go to they have every radio frequency in the country which if you sign up has a member, which is not to expensive you can use the programing software from butel to download all the frequencies you want and it will send the info right in to your radio it is less then a 5 minute job very reliable. Which you can download the programing software from they have many more programs for different type of scanner radios which are free as will. But I love the Uniden radios they are very easy to use and program. Hi everyone I am new to trucking I was also thinking of putting in my two scanners in my truck which are ( uniden 996 and BCT 15) I also have many more which are a little older. I have to figure out where I can mount the antenna's especially if I get a rig that has plastic mirrors. ![]() I also plan on installing my uniden CB and possibly by Kenwood Ham radio but I don't know that maybe to much. I have never installed radio communications in to a big rig before. But I do have a question how do you guys install a radio scanner ( Antenna wise) Do you just mount the radio in the cab and use the telescoping antenna or do you actually get an outside antenna and mount it on the mirror. ![]() Next up I will compare the 5.0 Radio Police Scanner Lite, but it has quite a few negative reviews. And I can use the same Baofeng radios to work the orbiting Satellites using a home brew tape measure/pvc pipe yagi antenna! I still stand by my earlier comments that nothing beats digital monitoring with GRE PSR 800, 600 or 500, Radio Shack Pro 106 or Pro 18, or the Uniden HomePatrol, 996XT and 396 XT (if you can handle the programming).įor analog monitoring I will stick with the two Baofeng dual band radios which equals a total 4 freq's that I can monitor and then change 1 of those freq's over to the GMRS, FRS, D.O.T channels or HAM Radio voice bands and repeaters to talk. Some showed this info and quite a few did not. Scanner Radio Pro has a 3-5 minute average delay time on reports (this can be crucial when there is major event going on)! There were also a few transmission time outs noted whereas my Baofengs continued to transmit activity.Īnother bummer with Scanner Radio Pro is that it does not include the channel frequency being listened to on all its city settings. ![]() Worth area (police-fire-EMS etc) from a distance of 30-45 miles out. I was able to compare this app with my Baofeng UV5R 2 meter/70cm all purpose handheld commercial/amateur radio that I will sometimes use to monitor the entire Dallas/Ft. Click to expand.Hello Zig Zag: I have just found the time to not only download the Scanner Radio Pro app (there is a paid version for $2.99).
