Biden/Harris campaign plane heads to the northwest

Watching N2129 in flight from ILG headed west, currently approaching Chicago. This plane is being used by the Biden/Harris campaign. Guessing it is carrying Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff who are headed to Iowa and Nebraska for campaign events today.

Great blog on tracking the 2020 campaign planes from JetTip I urge everyone interested in this to check out.

Replacements for Baofeng UV82HP

A HH is worthless where I live unless it is high power. My UV82 on HP was the only mode that worked. I would like to replace them. The things I didn't like were having to go into programming mode and I believe saving the transmit and receive differently. Also the buttons aren't very useful and the scan is snail pace.

MobileTech NXDN Network

It looks like MobileTech is standing up a new NXDN network alongside their existing LTR-Net network. I'd assume this would be deployed across Western, Central and Northern areas.

I found what looks like an NXDN signal on 152.9825 which was their dedicated Fleetsync GPS data channel for the Manlius site.

It looks like they added the NXDN 4K00F1W emission designator to their license back in February, 2018.

Question about Walton County TRS

Is Walton county currently using the OARS trunked radio system? I live in Gwinnett county and not hearing CC traffic on my SDR setup or TRX-2. All frequency data I’m using is from RR and FCC listings. I live less than 8 miles from the Gwinnett/Walton border and would at least thought I would receive the listed CC.

LNA and Splitter Advice Appreciated

Still kinda new to the hobby but moving forward. My primary monitoring interest is MilAir but also CivAir.

I need to amplify and split my antenna feed for the below setup.

Note: Cost is a factor. I'm not going the Stridesberg route and am fine with the 'good enough' methods outlined in many of the posts here.

1. Tram 1411 with center whip removed. Mounted ~6ft above roof line, 24ft AGL.
2. ~30ft RG-6 thru attic almost to desk area with 6ft RG-6 patch cable w/barrel connector...

Strange audio issue. The patrol cars come in very clear but the dispatcher is consistently garbled. Sometimes I can't really tell what they are saying.

Crazy question

I live in the Manatee Sarasota county which is simulcast why cant I just program the simulcast Info in and scan off that. Just a thought.

Thanks
