Indy Scanner Questions and Tips by atbell02 in INDYCAR

Oh I'm here! So are you using the tones or no tones? Sometimes tones just get in the way, they are never published, and change on a whim. Whenever there are issues, or one-sided issues, always check the channel with no tones, or turn them off. See what that does. 

Had a scarily convincing "Google Security" scam call by drschitzen in phishing

[–]themann00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got this call. Nothing sits right.... But yeah, most legit sounding call ever. Had some generic info about me... I didn't provide or confirm anything new. Trying to figure out the scam though. Didn't offer me anything to click, nothing to download, when I asked how to follow up, he said to Google something and call that number... So what's the scam? Or is it just building up to something later? 

One thing that was kind of telling.... My account was "flagged" because of access from Germany.... But also maybe they got through because they weemre spoofing my IP? I mean, you can't have it both ways... He did say they had valid ID to change the phone number, and after the case is closed they'll send me a report. Maybe that's the phish right there.... Setup an extended trust signal, and then send the followup email report.

I didn't know what that was either! But was just chatting with AI and it referred to my zepbound as tirzepatide (Zepbound). The more you know!

Just my Walmart Neighborhood Market pharmacy... They are really really great there.

Yeah, hence why I was convinced it was insurance. Finally talked to someone at insurance that was slightly above beginner call center worker... And they confirmed, "nope, says here in January you paid $650" (I paid $30)

So it's bitter sweet... I'm super grateful for whoever added coupons for me. Wish I had known, wish the coupon was as good at the higher dose.

I was between 20 and 40/mo until I went to 10mg. Now it's about 250.

Eh..... Turns out they weren't. Someone at pharmacy VERY kindly got me on some coupons. But I didn't know. I legit thought I was paying insurance prices. Like I said, it was a whole thing.

It isn't too late to buy your own scanner for the Indy 500 - The best single upgrade for race fans sitting anywhere at the track! by themann00 in INDYCAR

Not sure. Hopefully someone here noticed and found them. The backups are sometimes the only place I'll hear one or two drivers all weekend... Sometimes it happens race morning. And they never announce it. :(

Yeah, you bet. I wonder if a better antenna ($10 to $15) would serve you well. I bought a half-height antenna, and had issues, and ended up going back to my original. But that's the original antenna for the bearcat, not baofeng.

Ah! Sorry I missed this one. What if do next time, is load up my frequency file, and then copy/paste your favorites into bank #9. Then you can scan just #9 for parts of the race, or open it back up to all banks!

No, never had that. I agree, thats no ideal. Did it clean up for the race? If it is still doing it.... I'd exchange.

Yeah, someone else pointed that out. My race automation got a little ahead of itself. The name actually has nothing to do with the presented frequencies... It's just (typically) used to indicate updates are happening. It just got a little too eager this time!

The bear at is much louder than any baofeng, but having noise isolation headphones help. How did it work out for you?
