So, like a complete and total noob, I caved in and got a BaoFeng to play with. Due to my legal restrictions I'm using it as a receiver/scanner. (not licensed and well aware that I cannot put the big button on the side.)
That said, I'd really like to get some good chirp files from someone. Just to see what's out there. Maybe some of you know of a good local HAM broadcast. I'm just excited to listen to anything at this point.
My local police and fire all seem to be on the Indiana SAFE system. My reading lead me to believe that this is a digital trunking system and that my little radio won't pickup any of the police chatter. I'd love to be told otherwise though. I wanna hear some car chases.
Try not to bust my balls too hard, everyone has to start somewhere. Any help or advice is welcomed. I'm off to study for the tech exam. So many new acronyms, so little time.
