Default Issue with Pro 106

I have a new Pro 106 it has the current software offered. My issue is that I get reception skip. When I am listening to my scanner at times my reception skips whereas my Pro 96 will stay on the chan until the transmission is finished. It is actually worse when I am driving around. A friend has the same radio and has same issues. I used the Win500 program and am listening to a P25 system for Baltimore City and Baltimore County. other agencies on a traditional 800 mhz seem to work ok. Thanks in advance

Hmm. Did you update the firmware for the scanner?

Check and see if WX has a pri set. It will cut in every few seconds to check the primary frequency like animaljr47 just mentioned.
