I'm having problems receiving the MARCS-IP Warren County site from a monitoring location in the Fairfield area. Just like the MARCS-IP Butler site, I'm getting full signal strength and hits on talkgroups, but no audio or some slight garbling audio. I've tried everything but can't get it to work. I can only receive Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and the other MARCS-IP Warren site that LCI uses.

Ever since the rebanding, I can't even receive the Montgomery county system on the new frequencies.

Before I sell this scanner, can some check my programming in case I made some sort of error.

Most likely multipath issues with receiving multiple Warren County towers at your location near Fairfield. Not sure what if anything you can do about. What are you using for an antenna?

Have you tried to change antennas? If so then could just be your location.

I fear it is my location. I'll most likely sell it and put the money towards some Xbox One games. I'll get more enjoyment from that then the problems I'm having with this scanner.

Do you have Warren County's 800 MHz site frequencies mixed together with the Lebanon site 700 MHz frequencies? (That's the way it reads to me above) If so, that may be a problem right there. You need to separate them as two different sites.
