Re: P25 Talk Groups part 2

col05_au, i noticed when logging Mt Tomah site, that 10130 was patched to 10129, but the sydney metro sites don't see it as patched. Im assuming the radio operator can determine where the radio was suppose to affil to, weather 10130 or 129? saves them having one on each talkgroup. Matthew, I don't ...

My engineering background always makes me think this is a bad idea. not only do you have 20db loss, theres also the 75:50 ohm impedance mismatch. Considering the important that impedance plays in any theoretical RF system, wouldn't these two factors combine to make this a bad idea? Oh - and add the...

Re: Utilising the Townhouse TV aerial for scanning

The only down side I see is that most signals you listen to are vertically polarised, tv antennas are horizontally polarised. That results in up to 20db loss, which is significant Depending where it's pointing you might try listening to a few link frequencies around the place they are horizontal. Col
