    Unication g5 programming

    I did some more playing around and those were unchecked. I thought I had it figured out, but I ended up hearing every transmission from that particular tower.

    Unication g5 programming

    I want to be able to hear radio traffic on our MARCS channels when it is scanning. I'm not sure what I need to change. Currently, we have to hold a button down to open the channel up to hear anything. It looks like it is set up to scan our 4 channels already.

    Open Dispute.

    This was my thought as well, with the resources and skill set represented on this forum, I'd think someone would be able to at least make contact to make sure he is well.

    Is eLightbars dying out?

    I find my way back to the site now and then. I doubt it dies completely, it still serves a purpose. Like mentioned before, I think facebook has a lot to do with it. I haven't had a personal computer in years and it wasn't all that enjoyable using a phone. Now that I have a new laptop, I'm...

    ‘14 RAM grill light mounts

    Thank you! I knew there had to be something simple I just wasn’t looking at.

    ‘14 RAM grill light mounts

    Anyone have some insight on what to use to mount lights on the grill for a RAM? Something maybe I could grab from Lowe’s to make work?

    No drill lightbar mounting

    Are there other manufacturers for a no drill mount such as the ACARI one? I hope this is in the right place, I haven't been on here in probably a couple years. The search function didn't show any results and I'm not adapting to this newer forum very quickly. Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Got Jaws?

    I've heard of this before. I'm fairly certain that there is,or was, a commercially made version of this marketed to fire/EMS.

    Minitor V...how not to wake the wife and kid?

    Believe it or not, all three of my kids have slept through the beeping since the day they came home from the hospital. The wife is on the squad also so she understands when it hours off at 3am.

    What do you think of this video

    Maybe they just left their fourth working fire of the day and this is as fast as they can move at this point. If you've never worked a fire with only 12 or 13 guys, and left that scene to go to another worker, I suppose you won't understand. Maybe they didn't have a chance to refill the tank, or...

    Ford F250 Volly

    I especially liked the "Firefighter Do Not Block" bumper stickers. Bet those work as well as a stay back 500 feet sign.

    Internet scanner

    This looks like what I had in mind. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!

    Internet scanner

    Does anyone make an internet based scanner? I know you can listen on different sites to individual channels, but is there an app or site that let's you select and load channels that you pick and then scan them? Is something like that even possible?

    Columbus, OH Police HQ Explosion 9/24/13

    Pictures I saw looked like it just barely blew out the side and didn't scatter any debris.

    Whelen edge help

    Ok, I will search for serial bar. Wasn't aware that is what I was dealing with. I've never messed with a light bar that isn't straight forward/has a definite wire for each function.

    Whelen edge help

    I have searched the threads already open and am even more confused now. My buddy asked for help wiring up his light bar and siren. I took a look and think I may be in over my head. He has a Whelen Edge Ultra 9000 series that was a Massachusetts State Police bar. He has a Whelen BL 627...

    What structural FF gloves do you use?

    American Firewear Super Glove. Kangaroo leather. Stays soft and are not too heavy. Have had mine through many fires in several years and they are as pliable as the day I got them.

    Volunteer application wait time?

    Recently, we have had to sit on a few applications for several months because of a lack of gear, pagers etc. It's crazy, but, we are full. We always make contact with the applicant tho and explain what the hold up is. Usually, it only takes a month to a month and a half, if we have enough stuff.

    Here's one fire that will be burning for a few days

    On a side note, why did they even take that worthless video for the story?

    Pittsburgh FF sue over hearing loss.

    "knew or should have known the products ... were inherently dangerous, defective and hazardous to human hearing." Shouldn't the firefighters have known the products were hazardous to human hearing?! Put some ear protection on and roll up the windows. Common sense goes a long way.

    Explosion at fertilizer plant TX

    If you have the Facebook, look up prayers for victims of Waco/west Texas fertilizer plant explosion. They have had many links aboot donating stuff. Also: Pointwestbank.com Westdonations.com/donate I do not know about the links as I have not researched them, but, the fb page has seemed to...

    Watch your step!

    It's OK, go shower, cut your hair and cut down a tree for no good reason. It's nothing that isn't curable.

    Someone Explain Pagers To Me.

    I don't think it was mentioned before, but, another advantage of a pager over a radio would be battery life. I can only run my portable for maybe 12 hours if its a newer battery vs up to several days for my pager. All of our ems have portables. They mark en route to station or scene and if no...
