BCD536HP w/ Tri-band Ant getting static on all CHP "Remote Links" departments
Hopefully I am just an idiot and it's something very obvious, but after troubleshooting myself, googling extensively, and poking around these forums I cannot seem to figure this out.
I got a BCD536HP a week ago, and absolutely love it so far. This is my first scanner, but have found it very easy to use so far. This past weekend, I was scanning California Highway Patrol frequencies and was able to hear quite a bit. However, it seemed that anytime it would pick up a "Remote Links" department on the scanner, it would just put out static. I can't recall a single time it has actually given voice of any kind.
I used Sentinel software to build a favorites list of just CHP frequencies from the database. Using that, this is what is **displayed on the screen** in one particular example:
Sys: California Highway Patrol (CHP)
Dept: Remote Links - Coastal Division
Chan: Pacheco Pass - Green (Tx)
From using the RR database, here are the details of this particular example:
Frequency Output: 75.46
FCC Callsign: KDE682
Agency/Category: California Highway Patrol CHP Coastal Division
Description: Pacheco Pass Green Tx
Alpha Tag: PchoRmtB
Mode: FM
Class Station Code: F
Tag: Other
Again, this is just one case... there are many others, this is just the one I took a picture of. All seem to be on those "Remote Links" departments.
Any ideas? Is this an antenna issue? Scanner issue? DMR issue (if applicable)?
