The Triad Public Safety Radio Group will hold our 1st Information Net on Monday, January 23, 2012 at 8:30 PM. The net will take place on the 145.2500 88.5 (144.6500 88.5 input) W4GG repeater. We thank the Guilford Amateur Society and their President, Terrell Brown, for the use of their repeater.
The purpose of the net will be to promote camaraderie between public safety personnel, as well as to increase interoperability between public safety agencies through the use of amateur radio. All amateur radio operators, especially those working in the public safety field, are invited to check in.
For more information, please visit the PSRG Website.
The Triad Public Safety Radio Group is an amateur radio and general radio monitoring group based in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. The PSRG mission is to increase the influence and prevalence of Amateur Radio within the operations of Law Enforcement, Emergency Services, Emergency Management, and Federal Agencies, as well as to increase the inter-agency relationships among public safety personnel. Comments and questions about the group may be directed to admin @ tpsrg.com.

This comes as welcome news for all of us that are interested in 900mhz operation. Previously the only solution to 900mhz portable radios was modified commercial radios.

GRE announces new scanners at CES 2012
GRE, the makers of the popular "PSR" line of digital trunking scanners, is displaying two new scanner models at the CES 2012 show....
The PSR-120, an 800mhz conventional-only analog scanner, appears to be a direct answer to Uniden's new BC125AT. The PSR-120 is a "bank" scanner, in that it features 10 "banks" of channels that can be scanned individually. The PSR-120 appears to support PL/DPL decoding, but no alpha tagging.
The PSR-900, a simplified mobile version of the popular PSR-800, is also new for 2012. The PSR-900 features a removable remote control head with two magnets in the rear that can attach to any metal surface. The PSR-900 appears to support all the features of the popular PSR-800 handheld, including P25 Digital, most popular trunking formats, and the integration of a 2GB SD card for virtually unlimited storage.
