<title>FRS Task Assignment Listing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23372155</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have been asked by a local organization to do some emergency planning for a small community response group.

As part of that, I have developed the attached document listing the channels and the assignments for FRS radios.

The rational is that each task is assigned a channel to work on with the low power channels being assigned to small teams and the high power being assigned to command and control tasks.

The local area is small approximately 2 miles in diameter at most with some fortuitous elevation changes that can be used to great advantage.

As to the use of the 'code', I am still considering this and have no firm opinion one way or the other.

By the way, the command locations have dedicated scanners that scan all of these channels. Public Safety is scanned on another scanner(S).

Comments? Suggestions?

<title>Unknown RTTY</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23309073</link>
<description><![CDATA[Can anyone get this to decode?  I found this RTTY at 173.395MHz, and I can't get HRD/DM780 to decode any of it.  JAWS is acting up when I try to change baud rates, and since I don't know what the rate is anyway, I can't figure it out.]]></description>

<title>ARRL Phone Sweepstakes This Weekend</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23354292</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm going to *try* and have my HF antenna back up at my new QTH. The Phone Sweepstakes is always a good time to grab more states if you need them for WAS, and probably some decent DX, too.
Rules for the 2009 SS are here:

<title>Control scanner over IP/Network</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23355995</link>
<description><![CDATA[Does anyone know any good (Preferably free) programs that can remotely control a scanner VIA TCP/IP, and better, be able to stream the audio from that scanner over the connection. 

Basically I want to put a scanner on a mountain top where it will have a massive range, and pipe the control and audio feeds back to a computer which I will have a microwave link to the mountain top to pass my Ethernet link. 

Anyone know of any scanners (Preferably ones that can do trunking/digital/yes-I-am-greedy-and-want-it-all) that nativly have networking integrated with them, and any recommended or stock programs that can be used to operate them.

<title>Something I&#x27;ve been meaning to post...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23268985</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, two weeks ago, after having my license for over a year. I finally purchased an HF rig.

Purchased it as part of a kit from a local Ham whom was getting rid of it due to cut back in hours at work.
The kit was as followed:
Yaesu FT-897D with the "internal" power supply (FP-30).
Software plus CAT cable
LDG AT-897 Tuner
LDG Meter
Plus, a Pelican case for the transceiver setup.

Buddipole Deluxe system

A very nice grab and go kit.

Would have never discovered the offering had I not been on Craigslist of all places at one in the morning.

I haven't had much of a chance to really start using it. Been trying out for an hour or so every night I get a chance too.

Don't have any permanent antennas yet. So when I do have the opportunity I'm using it with the Buddipole.

SignaLink was to satisfy my desire interest with digital forms. Main reason for the purchase it the netbook I own only has one audio port. Either mic or speakers, not both.]]></description>

<title>Adding Coaxial Connection to FM Radio for Shaw FM Radio</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23311800</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello,

My father in law is desperate to listen to the Italian fm radio station which is only available on shaw. 

I have a Sony radio, with a regular am/fm antenna, and at the advice of a friend picked up a 300-ohm adapter to convert coax to something that can hopefully interface with the existing antenna.

I've searched online and have drawn a blank, can someone break it down for me or send me a link? It would be much appreciated.

P.S. I have tried wiring them together already without any luck, I figured it wouldn't be so easy. I am relatively competent with soldering, and won't be a pain with lots of follow-up questions, I just need a jumping off point.

Thanks again, and sorry if this is a total noob question, radios are obviously not usually my specialty.]]></description>
