I just recently purchased a bcd325p2 and I have been trying different bands and systems with it. Most work just fine. But for railroad, which I really want to listen to, the whole band goes silent when I turn on my home build desktop computer which I built a couple of years and has a top of the line video card, processor, case, power supply etc. I don't really get great reception even when it's not off, but the computer just seems to kill it. I have a Diamond RH77Ca antenna as well as a VHF150-162 Professional Portable BNC Antenna from scannermaster, as well an RG6 cable with a femaletofemale adapter that is suction cupped to my window for reception. I know the easy solution is to move the scanner to a different room or get an outdoor antenna, but I live in a shared living situation that limits my scanning to my first story bedroom with a 5 star view of the neighbor's vinyl siding 5 feet away. I have thought about RF couplers for my cables, but I can't see how that would help. I have been considering a TrainTenna Blade Indoor Antenna (DPD Productions - TrainTenna Railroad Voice Band & ATCS Antennas) but I don't want to get one if it's just going to be a waste of money.
Any ideas?
