  1. Sounds like a good intent, deff a busy night for the city.
  2. You can handle it Dan. lol
  3. Well 17 grey st went up again so maybe you can take more pics
  4. Wouldn't say really new firmware is 5.11.05
  5. You know I thought that too, but it also does it with the speaker mic attached too, and its only certain tones that sound distorted, unless the counties simulcast is doing it, at work it does not happen so much. I have no issues with Poughkeepsie Fire tones sounding distorted.
  6. I'll take out the PL tone and see if that changes anything.
  7. Thank you, its only certain tones, for ex. one of Arlington's comes across distorted, and that tone county puts out after hitting a districts tones, every thing sounds fine on my other radios, I just don't understand it.
  8. Over at New Paltz the newer rig 621 has nothing but LED warning lights on it, and as for the led's washing out, town of pok police have nothing but led bar lights and some cars have either rear deck strobe lights but the newer cars have led rear deck lights, and strobes in tail,reverse, and turn signals, and two halogen flashers in the grille, i have noticed in direct sun light the led bars are not really that visible.
  9. You are right,every one these days thinks what ever they are doing is much more important then a Fire engine or a Ambulance going code down the road trying to help people. Regardless of what color light, Red,blue,green I pull to the right, the way I look at it is hey they could be going to my house, or going to a loved ones or a friends home/business.
  10. Seriously who cares? If some one has illegal lights on there car they'll get caught sooner or later, its their car they make the payments and pay the insurance let them do what they please if they are doing something wrong then o well its really not my problem, they'll get caught and have to pay the fines.
  11. Yeah Im hearing some weird stuff on the Dispatch channel..453.900, sounds like there are other repeaters mixing in, hearing this on two of my radios my HT1250 and HT1000, just wondering if any one else has been hearing this.
  12. Nice looking rigs, love the chevrons on the back of the tanker.
  13. You guys think that is bad, what about some one who has a mini light bar with amber to the front and red to the rear, along with two other dash lights that are both amber, and also two red/clear rear deck strobes? I know some one who has that setup, and im surprised he hasn't had his stones busted.
  14. Dutchess 911 has a whole room for RACES, there are 4 kenwood dualband radios, a HF radio, and a 220 radio in there, its a really nice set up. I think they might even be putting some ham stuff in there comm vehicle (at least a HF radio, which is sitting in the radio room)
  15. Hey Farva, what's that place you like to eat at with the mozzarella sticks and all the goofy s*** on the walls? I take it he is not playing with a full deck of cards.
  16. Thats a pretty cool idea, hey maybe some of the local repeaters might become active again.
  17. Yup me Scott KC2OBW
