    331 - SRU109: FDMA and TDMA for beginners

    Digital modes, like P25, NXDN, DMR and others will use FDMA, TDMA, or both allow multiple transmissions to share a single frequency at the same time.

    FDMA or Frequency Division Multiple Access divides a current carrier frequency into multiple parts, allowing for multiple users to operate on the same time on the same frequency.

    TDMA or Time Division Multiple Access divides a current transmission over time, allowing for 2 or more users to share a the same frequency at the same time, depending on the digital protocol that is used.

    The ability for these digital transmissions to place multiple users on the same frequency allows for better management of the limited radio spectrum resource.

    Not only does this allow for more frequencies to be distributed, but allows for end licenses to do more with a single radio license.

    Learn the differences between FDMA and TDMA in this week's podcast.

    329 - SRU107: Simulcast - How to Stop the Pain

    Imagine knowing that your scanner radio has a full signal, but you can't hear anything.

    Maybe you're listening to a p25 trunk system,  but you can't listen to any of the activity. 

    You can see your scanner is trying to go to a voice channel. It's trying to work.   But you hear nothing. 

    How frustrating does this sound?

    For many, this is a common occurrence when they try to listen to a P25 Simulcast site on their scanner radios.

    Let’s figure out why this is happening and some simple solutions you can try to overcome simulcast.

    327 - SRU106: Rebanding - How Nextel complicated the scanner hobby

    The Nextel Conundrum:

    Originally established as a convenient communication solution for small businesses, Nextel swiftly expanded its services to include cellular telephony. 

     

    However, the positioning of Nextel within the RF spectrum, sandwiched besides public safety frequencies, combined with its network built for capacity, led to unprecedented challenges. 

     

    The dense clustering of Nextel sites interfered with public safety radios, prompting the necessity for rebanding.

    Rebanding entailed a complex realignment of frequencies to mitigate interference issues. This intricate shuffle involved relocating Nextel closer to cellular carriers while carving out exclusive bands for public safety entities. This relocation of the 800Mhz public safety spectrum, known as rebanding, posed a significant problem for scanner enthusiasts who monitored many Motorola trunking systems in the 800Mhz band.

     

    The impact of rebanding reverberated through the scanner radio community, rendering many radios obsolete overnight. 

     

    Today, we still need to be aware of systems that are operating in the rebanded spectrum and ensure our radios are programmed correctly to monitor these systems.

    326 - Analog and Digital Trunked Systems

    Once upon a time, we only had analog trunked radio systems.   These systems all had analog voice talk groups.

    These systems included Motorola Type I, Motorola Type IIi, Motorola Type II, EDACS, and LTR systems.

    Today, we are living in a digital trunked environment, where there are no analog voice channels.  All voice is done using a form of digital modulation.   These systems include P25, DMR, and NXDN.

    But, we had an in between.  This is where we had digital talk groups on an analog trunked system.  On a Motorola Type II system, we could find P25 talk groups.  On EDACS systems, we'd find ProVoice talk groups.

    This podcast will discuss analog and digital systems, and explain why our older P25 scanners like a Uniden BC785D will not work on today's P25 Trunked systems.

    325 - SRU104 - LCN vs CC Only Trunked Systems

     

    There are two distinct flavors of trunked radio systems that we need to be aware of when programming our scanners.

    There are systems that require that every frequency for each site be programmed into their pre-determined channel number, and those that do not.

    Systems that require every frequency be programmed into our scanners in their designated sequence are Logical Channel Numbered systems and include EDACS, LTR, and all flavors of DMR.

    Control channel only systems only require the control channels to be programmed into our scanners, as those systems have a predetermined channel mapping as part of their system protocol.   These systems include Motorola Type II systems and P25 Trunked systems.

    However, don't let "Control Channel Only" fool you.  There is a best practice that you should be aware of that most miss when programming your scanners.  We cover that and more in this week's podcast.

    323 - SRU103 - Trunked Radio Basics

    Did you know that trunked radio systems are just like an orchestra?

    There are several parts in each that work in harmony.  

    In our latest podcast, we compare the two to make it easier for you to understand exactly how a trunked system works.

    We also dive into why trunked systems are an excellent way of utilizing the limited radio frequency resources.

    SRU101 - Intro to Scanner Radios

    Welcome to the first in a series of classes that we are calling "Scanner Radio University".

    Over the next several weeks and months, we will be covering topics that will not only be geared towards those just entering the hobby, but topics that maybe you needed to overlook because a lot of today scanners just work out of the box or with computer assisted programming.

    This week, we will cover the basics of what scanner radio is, who uses them, where to buy one, and where to get help.
