Dear BVARC friends, If you're flooded out or about to be, we have room for one or two people here at the house. We are short of food at the moment, we just haven't ventured out yet to stand in line for groceries. Give me a call at 713-898-7696 if you need a dry place to sleep tonight. We live

I feel your frustration, but I also understand Pat’s caustic comment. Are you old enough to remember the floods of ’77 (or was it ’78?)? I was up in Hockley with only a Pocket Scanner to listen to. HFD was hopelessly overwhelmed, and many of HPD’s 460 MHz repeaters were flooded out. Guess who

About 45 mins ago the Spectre crew warned all rescue aircraft to avoid the Lake Houston area.  They are saying that an ammonia plant is about to explode near there.  But this was at least 45 mins ago.  I am surprised we have not seen or heard anything on the local news by now.  Best

Re: [BVARC] Police/Fire call listening on UHF/VHF

Completely legal, but most services have moved to trunking systems on 800-900 MHz. You'll need a trunk tracking radio to keep up, but you can get "bits and pieces" just by scanning those freqs with an old fashioned scanner (if you have those bands covered). It's also legal for police to

They were told to call 911 because that's what they tell us to call people. We enter the information we get into the web EOC logs when someone calls over the radio and someone will get the info and respond but 911 will get a much quicker response, I believe. I'm told that there is

Out of curiosity is it allowed to listen in on our radios? I looked up scanner frequencies of 460.XXX range with a PL123.0 and scanned up and down but heard nothing. Maybe it's blocked somehow. Just wanting to listen in since we are in all this hurricane and flooded event situation. Any
