I'll also make a quick post here and an observation as well. I haven't
seen much here since getting back from Arkansas and resubing the other
day either.
As I said before nothing is digital down in the Little Rock area,
and when I visited a local RS there they didn't know anything about the
state or city going digital at all.
As for things at home the 250 is working great, and I was worried
about the card because it had been dropped and the cover for the battery
and card came off, but it is still as good as new and all the digital I
have heard here sounds great too. The only thing now is getting used to
the fact that there are more talk groups that are in use at once on my
system, where as with the old VHF set up it was waiting turns and all of
that, and I have missed some calls for this reason.
I am having trouble getting the radio into trunked mode with a UHF
LTR system, and I think that I have the correct LCNS and all, but am
having trouble with the radio staying in trunked ode and I can't enter in
tgs for this system. For anyone in the Detroit area it is Repeater
System's LTR system. Has anyone else had any trouble with this system?
