Default Losing frames

i have a tap on my bct 8 on which my local pd and fire is on a provoice system so i monitor with them. from time to time i get good signal. and bad signal like it decodes good and bad at times. Does anyone know a way to stop it from dropping frames so i could hear everything a lot clearer? thanks!

I would try to improve your reception, maybe by using an antenna tuned around the 456 MHz range.

OK. You didn't post a system and I was looking at the wrong one (LTR). Looks like you have the antenna issue well in hand.
