Grecom PSR 800, Uniden 396t, Radio Shack Pro 106 Scanners Compared

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@kimdaviscali The cool thing about the the GRE is you can program the activity light to any preference you want, steady, on/off, strobe...

I personally think the PSR 800 pulls in the trunk systems (like snocom) slightly better.

@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Thanks for the updated info.

Your reception for Sers/SNOCOM is not that great but sounds like SNOPAC is crystal clear for you.

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@jsk1818 Yep when I'm at home it's a stretch to bring in the SnoCom stuff, but it works. King Co is really tough from here.

[jsk1818]

@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED I take it you are up near Marysville, I am right in edmonds so I can pick up KCSO southeast air and sometimes on a clear night Pierce County East air

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@jsk1818 Very cool. Yeah Arlington here. I get Snopac solid, snocom is okay, King Co/Seattle at night is doable but need a good antenna. I get Skagit stuff clear, but not nearly as active as Sno/King.

@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED

What camcorder are you using to record this video?

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@DanielsSFD I used my Canon 7d w/50 1.4 lens.

[everettradioman]

Do you have the radios programed to SNOpac Fire?? tac 1,2,3,4,5,6????

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@everettradioman I do. I have all the talkgroups in my scanners. Issue with where I live I have to set up a couple scanlists- one w. the west simulcast control channel so I can get Everett and SnoCom stuff, and a "north" scanlist w/ all other CC's active.

[TheDan4279]

do you have the flash pattern code for the lcd light

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@TheDan4279 Yeah I use a few different patterns for different talkgroups- makes it nice when you look up and can immediately determine if it's fire, police, SAR or whatever it might be.

I remember back in the day when cellphone signals were analogue not digital it was possible to listen in to some amazing soundbites.

[MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED]

@S1NNER48 Lol yeah, I had an icom R10 "unblocked" version back then.. man those were some good times. I wish I would have recorded some of those calls. :)
