MaryLou: DE is NOT all encrypted! The State is P25 Phase I and most law is encrypted along with National Guard and Corrections, but almost all fire and local law/beach patrol/public works are "in the clear". There are a bunch of new talkgroups for local fire use. Your 996 should get all of them. Check Radioreference. Joel R Kahn Comme dicté à mon chat et envoyé de mon ordinateur de bureau.

No problem Tim, I thought it was a good idea as well. You know you always have one or two that couldt get along with an angel.
I will say this though if I had my choice of having my right hand back I would take it so if that is tooting my own horn I am certainly tooting. Later friend

No resumes, just was asking about where everyone on the list was from and maybe their “scanner” background. All voluntary, and maybe in violation of the groups posting rules, but not intentionally.

Thanks Mick! A funny was so e one who was wanting me to get my tech license, he told me to take the on line practice tests, and with each succeeding test, my score went lower! I think the timing was 2005 to 2010. As my other half says, when the stars are in alignment it will happen! Thanks for the encouragement! MaryLou

Thank you MaryLou. I have 4- Bearcats 996P2 as well as a Radio Shack 2006 and 2-Pro97. Not much of Virginia is encrypted yet especially around where I live but my passion is listening to Military Aviation Freqs. Hang in there try again and
pass that Ham test. Never give up it's rewarding. Thanks for your compliments it sure makes it much better to deal with my disability knowing the sacrifices I gave.

No Jeff and Dewey by all means don't submit a resume if you don't want to. It is strictly voluntary. A member of this group thought it was a great idea for the ones that wished to, to submit their resumes as a way for us to get to know
each other in the group. By all means everyone doesn't have to submit a resume. But for the ones that does it sure makes us appreciate who we are communicating with. I knew as soon as I sent mine in there 2as going to be those that disagree.

Desert Storm Desert Shield. Two tours to Iraq and one tour to Afghanistan. Second tour to Afghanistan shot in right hand and sent back to the states where I was medically discharged with 26 years of service as a Chief Warrant Officer 4. Would'nt allow me
to do 30 years due to my injuries. Was Officer in Charge with the Seals of planning coordination and Rescue of the MV Alabama where we rescued Captain Phillip's from the Pirates. Totally disabled from my wound now and living with my wife in Appomattox County,
