I've had my PSR 800 for a few months now. I noticed right away the reception was not on the level of my 396XT or PSR 500. I receive the county system where I live (Hillsborough County Public Safety Trunking System, Hillsborough County, Florida - Scanner Frequencies) but when I'm inside my residence I barely pick up the neighboring counties, which the other two units pick up with ease at five bars.I'm using the RS 800 MHZ rubber duck, attenuator is off, etc. So after the new scanner effect wore off I became increasingly unsatisfied and finally am willing to part with the 800 to send it to GRE for a "tune up". The tech at GRE says he they will run it thru a diagnostic test to see if the unit is up to specs, and if it's not it's time for a new board. BTW reception is inferior as well on an external antenna. I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what you did about it? Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance,
