The 668 is quite similar to the GRE-PSR800. Since you are primarily interested in Galveston County and immediate area be sure you only put in the Galveston County Simulcast site 1-54 for that system.
When you have more than one site entered for a system the 668 will lock onto and stay on
only the strongest control channel and will not scan the others unless the signal falls below
the decode threshold. By only having one site entered (Galveston County Simulcast) this will
eliminate that problem. The GC Simul has towers in League City, Texas City, Galveston and
Santa Fe. You should not have any trouble receiving GC entities. It has a strong signal.
Hitchcock and Galveston PD and SO and Beach Patrol and LOTS of other things can all be heard
over GC Simulcast. Check the RR listings for the trunk groups you want hear and create your play lists from that.
I use GC Simulcast in Alvin (Alvin PD is on there) and it works great even with a rubber duck antenna.
Let me know how that works out for you.
