Hello all,
Last night, I was playing with my 436 while debating what to do on, what appears to be, the simulcast issue.
I only have the Ohio MARCS-IP system programmed in, specifically Cincinnati and parts of Hamilton and Butler counties. I was picking up Cincinnati with no issue, but could not hear Butler County. I would see the alpha tag for Hamilton FD but no audio. Frustrated, I laid the scanner on its back to walk away and audio started pouring through. If I stood it upright, the audio disappeared.
Any thoughts on why this would occur? I can’t imagine a better antenna would help but I have been surprised in the past on how a good antenna can help.
