I need to begin with a disclaimer: I am proficient at programming my vintage BCD-996T with FreeScan; both are great products! But I have no expertise in understanding trunked radio systems, what [negatively] affects the clarity of scanner reception, or band plans for Uniden scanners.
That said, I have read in several threads that reception of the RWC simulcast transmissions may be negatively influenced by reception from several towers at once. In my experience, the quality of reception of traffic on Simulcast A and Simulcast B varies widely even though I don't move my scanner [I use the set-back extending antenna].
Sorry for the long-winded preface. The questions are: is there good evidence to support the suggestion I read elsewhere that entering a band plan for the RWC system might improve reception, even though all necessary information should be transmitted by the Control Channel? And if a band plan might reduce multipath interference, what would it be for the RWC system?
Thanks for any thoughts and advice.
