This is the system I am interested. SITE 2
Overlay Regional InterOperability Network (ORION) Trunking System, Various, Virginia - Scanner Frequencies
Due to recent resignation from a job, I have plenty of time on my hands to solve my terrible reception with this system site. Currently reside at the furthest north east section of the city. Planning on setting up a temporary Yagi on a pvc pipe on a third floor balcony. There are plenty of trees to deal with. I am thinking if I solve this issue where the antenna is easily accessible, it will be easier once I get it on the roof, that will be slightly higher. Currently using a ST2 and I am only receiving 40% (guess) of at the transmissions.
Looking for direction to set the scanners expert setting to to start. Do I aim the antenna at the site, and then fiddle with the scanner settings, or the other way around. Seems I am chasing my tail on this.
Any methotical steps and advise will be appriciated. Missed a 2 alarm fire right down the street because of my poor reception
