OK, being in the Moncks Corner area adds another piece to the puzzle. The Palmetto Project 25 system does not have as big a footprint as the Palmetto 800 system in the tri-county area. The P25 system currently targets mainly Charleston County. There is a P25 tower in downtown Summerville to cover the northern part of Charleston County. I don't know of any similar P25 towers in Berkeley County.
As N_Jay suggested in your other thread, you may very well be outside of the design area of the P25 system up in Moncks Corner. A high gain, directional antenna pointed at Summerville or McClellanville may work if there's enough signal to capture up there. The simulcast system towers are designed to cover a fairly limited area, and the signal drops off sharply outside of the design area.
