[FEDCOM] DHS

[Larry Van Horn, N5FPW]

Just to finish off what Chris has stated previously, during the Alpha and 
Beta test of the 396 ( I was one of the testers for both phases), I was the 
one that pointed out that the P25 was not working with a CTCSS/DCS search or 
tone enabled. The engineers were well aware and the problem is the that both 
use the same decoder, so you can only use one or the other. I am sure that 
sometime down the road in and future model Uniden will work around this as 
we pointed it out as  real nice to have feature.

73 all and good hunting,

>>>
If I put in "none" then if I understand your response, I should receive P25
and perhaps some junk.
<<<
Yes, you have use "FM" mode on the Radio Shack scanners and NONE on the
Uniden scanners. Unfortunately you may hear some junk, but that's life.

>>>
I was sent a list of DHS Radio Net 1 frequencies.  Do they use all these
frequencies or are they assigned regionally?
<<<
I believe that all of the NET frequencies are programmed in the DHS radios,
but only certain ones are used depending on what repeaters they have set up
in what areas. While there is certainly the possibility that any of the NET
frequencies might be used, in everyday life, they may have 3 or 4 that are
most active in any area. But also note that many of the NET repeater output
frequencies also are in the radios as simplex TAC frequencies. For example,
NET 35, with a repeater out of 163.1250 MHz is also in the radio as TAC 7
as a simplex channel. So it might pay to keep the whole list in the radio,
if you have the space.
