This evening I programmed the Pro-96 with NASA freqs for the SS launch in put them in blanks in the Bank 5 San Antonio TRS bank.
Guess what! I'm getting clear reception on the SAPD North TRS system! I'm at about 650 ft elavation and running a 1/4 wave ground plane tacked to my ceiling, (see avatar).
Is it skip, iso, or due to the mag field from the sun the planet is running through? Who can say, but will see if it hangs in there and will advise.
Addendum- reception is getting worse in the last few minutes, oops, now it's strong again. Hummmmmm, sounds like an anomalily.
Is anyone else listening to South TX who is in Central TX???
Even further addendum by edit:
Reception is holding with readable-but-a-bit-of-static...
Now it gets even more strange! Freq of 856.96250 is American Tower, but it's switching to 855.98750 or 857.89750 for mobiles! I thought we couldn't track Pro-Voice... WTF am I listening to? (These IDs are set for MOT which I assume means P25. Nothing has been alerted from the Factory/programing-by-dealer...
Perhaps I just have a really good Pro-96...
I may have to come up with a new Win96 Folder For all of Tx TRS...
