Has something changed? Is it that I have multiple simulcast towers programmed? My feed is breaking up at times and it driving me crazy. I run pro-197's for the feeds.
P25 simulcast is, in my opinion, the 2nd worst thing that can happen to the scanning...
Thanks guys, i will try and hit the other towers and get the simulcast sites out of the program, the problem for me is I am in one of the holes that this helped fix for DCSO and CRPD my cell coverage sucks in my area to.
I am reading how simulcast is not good.
However, isn't the current problem with the multiple towers where an agency is transmitting on one tower and then the next transmission uses on a different tower just as bad, or worse?
I would think simulcast would be the ultimate solution.
I'm confused.
Well, I'm legitimately not trying to call anybody out or anything, but I've been pleasantly surprised that my BCD-436 seems to be working pretty well on the new Aurora phase 2 system, even all the way over in Littleton with a pretty marginal path.
Of course, I have nothing else set up to compare its reception with to prove that it isn't missing transmissions, but based on the conversations I've followed at times, I don't think it is.
In general, as long as it works, I do like simulcast as it is more efficient to scan than DTRS with the requirement to scan multiple sites.
Does the database show towers that I may be able to work with/change? I am in Brighton with a Pro197
at the junction of 7 & 85.
I just downloaded a csv file for Adams County Simulcast and of course have a question. I think that
frequencies in the file show control channels ?
In my Pro-197, I have about 5 control channels programmed. If I add/remove freqs. will that make reception better ? Not sure if transmissions move around towers.
I haven't found a list for control freqs for a certain tower.
