I believe the closest tower to Pgh would be in Wall, PA, but it seems to me it should come in better than it does.
P.S. I am using the RS 800mhz antenna too!

At Lexington Street (Allegheny County 911) on the second floor, the radios marginally pick up Westmoreland County. Slightly better in the parking lot.
Most of the scanners I have checked that do APCO 25 don't receive as well as the actually handhelds on the system so I doubt it will get better without an actual 800 beam antenna pointed at one of the tower sites.
As always this has been my $1.95 and YMMV.
