Some Wouxun radios have a feature called Tone Scan. When activated, the radio scans an incoming signal for CTCSS tones or DCS codes to identify or confirm the correct tone or code. How do you do it?

In this episode of Radio 101, Tommy shows how to properly activate and use the SC-CTCSS and SC-DCS scan function. This procedure works on Wouxun portable handheld and mobile radios that support the tone scan feature.

Cobra recently added a new model to its lineup of CB radios with Bluetooth functionality. Called the Cobra 75, this AM/FM CB Radio has wireless connectivity to an all-in-one handset. All of the controls are on the handset itself, so the main unit can be tucked out of the way while the driver can operate the radio from the noise cancelling hand microphone.

In this video segment from episode 186 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast, Rick provides a brief overview of the Cobra 75 and all of its key features and specifications. The Cobra 75 All Road Wireless CB Radio with AM/FM + Bluetooth is available from Buy Two Way Radios.

The TYT MD-UV380 Plus and MD-UV390 Plus need to be placed into a programmable mode before the radio can be read or written with a code plug. This is achieved by holding two buttons while turning the radio on. These buttons are located both above and below the push-to-talk button. Ensure that the radio powers up until you can see the home page, where frequencies are listed. After completing this process, the radio can now be programmed.

• Turn the radio OFF.
• Hold down side buttons 1 and 2.
• Turn the radio ON while holding down these buttons.
• The radio is now in Programming Mode.

Important Note: If you repeat this process, you will set the radio in an unprogrammable mode. Reading a radio in unprogrammable mode and then writing that code plug to another radio will lock that radio, as the code plug is not a programmable one. However, if you load your unprogrammable code plug into a radio and then set that radio into programmable mode, it will transform the code plug into a programmable one, and it should function as intended on the radio.

There has been a lot of talk about the purported death of the CB radio. While it is true that CB no longer enjoys the public popularity it had in its heyday during the 1970’s, does that make it a dead radio service? Is it really the end of the line for the CB radio?

In this extended video segment from episode 186 of The Two Way Radio Show Podcast, Rick explores the question and uses the recent release of two new CB radios to explain why CB radio may actually be thriving in 2024.

These two new radios include the Cobra 75 All Road Wireless CB Radio with AM/FM + Bluetooth and the President GEORGE FCC AM/FM/SSB CB Radio.
