McHenry Co. local P25 Audio problems?

[tedk7500]

i am using a BCD996XT scanner.

when listinging to virtually all other P25 systems (or conventional) the audio is clear and correct regardless of signal strength etc. when i stop at McHenry "local" the audio is about every 10th word received or worse - kind of sounds like a weak digital "cell" phone signal about to be dropped. control information is being received correctly as the radio will follow traffic to the next freq etc.

perhaps they still have some bugs in this relatively new system? could it be digital agc related?

if anyone could offer advice i'd appreciate it.

I have not noticed that in the few times I have listened to the new system, I'll try listening more often over the weekend and let you know

I have been listening to the McHenry County’s P25 system for the past several days, and so far I have not been experiencing any issues with the system. Most of the traffic that I have been receiving is on either T146 or T108, and all the talk groups in which I have programmed into the BCD996XT are working fine.

I live in Machesney Park and I cannot get McHenry County to come in at all. Am I too far away? According to RR the tower should have a 40 mile radius. Freeport to the west of me comes in really good. Is there something I am doing wrong? I thought I would post here since you are already talking about McHenry. Thanks.

I'm about 8 miles from the site with full signal bars and its ofter very choppy. You can pick up my feed here McHenry County Sheriff, Emergency Management, and Illinois State Police District 2 Live Scanner Audio Feed and have a listen.

Yep I get it too. I pick up McHenry County better on site 108 better than 4. Unless Im real close to a tower like north of Harvard by Big Foot. I know the north tower is just to the right of there but on Rt. 173 at wilmont rd. 108 is the clear choice to hear them on. If your close to a 108 site
