Hi - new to this forum but hoping you folks can help out.
I just purchased a new RS Pro-652 unit. I have installed a TRAM 1410 discone antenna on my roof on a 15 foot pole. I have connected the antenna using LMR-400UF coax (75' run). At this point, I am primarily interested in monitoring aircraft frequencies (118-137 MHz).
The problem is that I can get crystal clear signals for the local aviation approach frequencies. However, the reception for the local airport ground and tower frequencies has a lot of static. I am only 3 miles from the airport (Reno-Tahoe International) and at a slightly higher elevation.
Are there any settings I need to make on the scanner to improve reception? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eric
