Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me how the AR8600Mk2 compares to the Uniden 780 for pulling out weak signals in the VHF public safety band. I've had my 780 for 14 years now, and it still works like a champ, but I'd like to up my game with something even better. I know the 8600 scan speed is considerably slower, and I'm fine with that. I'm more concerned with sensitivity AND selectivity, as I live just about a mile away from a radio tower that broadcasts nine different FM stations. It would be hooked up to my rooftop 2-meter yagi using LMR-400 coax, and an inline Par FM filter. My focus is pulling in distant public safety transmissions from 60 to 70 miles or more.
Thanks for the help!
