Noticed a real improvement on things while there and got a bug to try it when I got back in town here last night.
Set system to OFF and guess what?
Reception has gotten markedly better at least for me, not much dropped traffic at all and picking up lots more in general too.
Don't know if it's a valid idea or not but it does seem to help, just a thought to try.

Where do you find/change these settings at? I don't think I am following.
For the heck of it, I took my Larsen 150/450/800 off and put on a low-band antenna(tuned to 42mHZ). It seems to be decoding ORION better when I'm in Bellevue. With the out of band antenna I'm sure its not hearing as many towers allowing for less confusion with many signals coming into the radio at once.
