Sure, if you're in no hurry. It might not come out until this summer?

If I wanted to get a scanner which is handheld to scan trunked systems like oceanside PD, Oceanside Fire, Vista Sherrif and other trunked systems do you have a suggested entry level scanner? For those systems do iNEED A DIGITAL TRUNKING SCANNER OR (oop) an analog scanner? Yes, you'll need a digital...

but all my scanner is setup to listen on RCS North not the sites above. So where are the "RCS North" transmitter sites physically located? I'd think those would be all the same sites as shown on the site map, including Hubbard Hill. Is the site map out of date? I guess I'll have to get my...

Well, I programmed in all the patched talkgroups and got dispatch back. I'm just puzzled since the Pro-96 doesn't allow you to turn status bit off and I just began having problems, although the patches have been in place for some time Harumph, I thought the PRO-96 didn't pay any attention to the st...

Either I'm on hallucinogenic drugs or the RCS site, description and frequency list on this web site doesn't seem to match up with current reality, at least not for the Hubbard Hill tower, just two thousand feet and a clear line of site from my current location. For example, I'd think that the contro...

DONT USE A hole punch!!!!! Buy the Drill from a radio shop or online.....$20 bucks worth every penny!!!! Plus its a tool for the toolbox. Umm. why do you say that so boldly and with such certainty? After doing my due dilligence, the concensus on the net seems to be that, so long as you have inside ...

It sounds good but I have no idea what the PRO96 is even like. I have and use a PRO-96 here. I like it a lot. But then, I use WIN-96 to program it and never do any significant manual programming via the keypad. San Diego RCS came pre-loaded in a V-folder. That was quite handy at the time. I was not...

In my opinion, it's not hard to do the NMO installs yourself. I put 8 holes in the roof of my Expedition with a 3/4" step-drill. http://scandiego.com/318/ It worked great. I was looking into drilling 3/8" holes upward from locations above the interior dome lights and then using using a 3/...

I'd like to have one or two permanent NMO antenna mounts installed on the roof of my wagon. However, it would probably be better to have an experienced professional do it rather than me. Can anyone suggest a good installer in the San Diego county area (preferably in North county) that would do a goo...

No, nothing special. Just collected by years of monitoring by many people and collected from various sources on the internet and mailing lists like SoCalScan. Some of the oldest information came from books like ScanFan. Early on in the RCS, they had listings of the "easy" to ID talkgroups...
