What system?the p25 on my BCD536Hp I cant understand what they are saying...is this normal?
Thanks I will try the antenna that came with it. this is my base scanner and I have an outdoor antenna 30 feet high..
I disagree...while the root cause is the receiver, experimenting with the antenna can help. I use a yagi in my attic on several of my scanners and it makes a big improvement on the local simulcast P25 systems. Of course, that only works for fixed use and took a lot of tweaking to get just right.Any 'off the wall' idea to hear simulcast systems is nothing but a plan for more frustration. The radios just don't work well on simulcast systems....

I don't think anyone on RR makes suggestions with the intention of misleading members. What would they gain from that? They're giving out information for free. It's not like they're trying to sell you something.
What works great for some might not work at all for others. But if something has worked for someone, I'd encourage them to share their experiences with others. Isn't that why we all come to RR? I've learned a lot from other's helping me over the years, and I appreciated it.
Guess I just wasted 500.00 on this scanner..........
