His comments reflect the ♦ MARCH 13-14 SWLFEST Kulpsville PA state of the radio hobby and specifically the amateur radio hobby today. ♦ UPDATE ON MARINE BEACON 406 MHz ♦ CRASH IN THE HUDSON RIVER NJ-NY Quiet Signals Christopher Ebert Founder, Lakes Area GMRS Repeater Group There are many of us out there wondering “why is my repeater silent all the time?” The same questions could be asked like: “how come ham radio licenses aren’t so popular with kids? Why are there so many quiet repeaters? How come nobody talks on the C.B. as much anymore? Why is my shortwave radio dead? Why are hamfests filled with junk? Why doesn’t the F.C.C. listen to my complaints? Why doesn’t anyone get the GMRS license?” Folks, the answers are simple: radio doesn’t have the magic it once did to most people. I write this as an editorial through years of experience in dealing with radio; whether it is using it, reading about it, or talking to people about it. Internet research, personal research, and personal experience is what drives this, therefore, I’m not going to quote anything specific; I don’t need to because the proof is in the pudding. So, let’s set the stage. I am an adult male in my mid-thirties who was turned onto the “magic of radio” from my Grandpa (bless his soul).

  • But I Just Want to Listen to the Police. Why Does This Have to Be So
    But I just want to listen to the Police. Why does this have to be so complicated? <sigh> Well, unfortunately the days of “enter this frequency to hear the police” are nearly over. Several major trends have converged that have resulted in police (and other agencies) moving to more efficient, “trunked” radio systems: • Higher levels of radio usage has meant that there aren’t enough individual frequencies available to allow every group to have their own frequency. • Technology advances have brought down the overall cost and complexity of implementing a trunked radio system while increasing the features available to the agency and individual radio users. • Roll-out of major statewide trunked systems makes it easier for even small agencies to “piggy back” onto the larger system for less cost than replacing existing systems. Of course, to the average radio user, the complexity of a trunked system is invisible. Their radio is programmed up at the radio shop. They can still easily select who they need to communicate with by selecting a channel on their two-way. They can even directly call other radio users without tying up a dispatch channel…something they could never do, before. The scanner user, on the other hand, needs to be a lot more savvy about the different types of Trunking systems in use, the different options available on each system, and a host of other arcania in order to successfully monitor their favorite agency. In this article, I’m not going to the level of arcania. Instead, this article will introduce the features that most Trunking systems have in common.
