Harford Co. is upgrading to a Motorola system, so it wasn't them.

Oh the spelling... :x

Anyhow, an obvious question - how do you know it's an EDACS system? There are comparitvely few of those in this neck of the woods.

If you're not running outdoor antennas, try moving the scanner an inch or two in either direction. At these wavelengths, that's all it might take to clear this up. I've got to be in the right spot, for example, to copy the BGE system consistently. I lose the control channel on occasion due to desense, but if I move an inch or two in one direction, sometimes that improves things....
