[TrunkCom] BC250D Talkgroup ID Question

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 12:23:51 -0500

Shouldn't surprise you Tom. They can't even get something as basic as a
proper bandplan loaded into these radios.

Case in point...

If someone from Uniden is monitoring the mail on this list please pay
attention to the following. You didn't listen last time so maybe yelling
will get your attention.

	"THE UHF MIL AIRCRAFT BANDS IS 25 KHZ SPACING -- NOT 50 KHZ AND HAS BEEN
THAT WAY FOR YEARS."

They were told about this after the 780 was released and had the same
loadout and so they aren't very good listeners. It is a royal pain in the
ass to plug in .x25 and .x75 UHF milair discretes having to set step each
time one of these frequencies are entered. Not sure what humaniod advises
Uniden on these matters, but they obviously do not listen to radios or
aren't much of a scanner radio listener.

73 all and good hunting,

Larry Van Horn, N5FPW
