Hello! My name is Daniel but you may know me as Deziel0495, which is my gamertag. I live in Atlantic Canada and I'm a volunteer firefighter, gamer, dad, and a bunch of other titles. Among many things I live stream and create gaming content on Twitch and YouTube.

I hope you decide to follow along and enjoy the content I provide. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome in the comments!

My other big hobby besides gaming is anything related to communications, especially radios and scanners. I'm a very active member on RadioReference.com where I am a local database administrator.

Software Defined Radio (SDR)

What is it? Think of it as a scanner the size of a USB thumb drive that has a connection for an antenna and is controlled completely by computer software. I have the following SDR's running on the SDRTrunk software:

• Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 (x2)
• Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ (x2)
• Nooelec Lana - Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)

Traditional Scanners

• RadioShack PRO-651
• Uniden Bearcat BCD325P2

Two Way Radios

• TYT W700 (Network Radio)
• Baofeng UV-B5 (VHF/UHF)

Other radio equipment I'm fortunate enough to use as a firefighter on the provincial trunked radio system includes the:

• Kenwood Viking VP5430
• Motorola XTS1500
• Motorola XTL1500
