I recently hooked up my RS 2096 to a RS 20-176 antenna mounted to a 12ft steal pole on my roof. I am receiving incredible distance and great reception on conventional and digital freqs but for some reason my 800mhz trunking system which is 3 miles away I'm getting interference on those systems. The control channels tell me I'm receiving a 99% signal strength yet every so often I will get really bad interference.
It's not static but sounds like a possible power interference.
So I tried to resolve this by plugging my 2096 into a grounded power bar and unplugging different things in the room but it's still getting the interference. The interference isn't constant thing but happens periodically.
One thought is my grounding. I have the antenna grounded to a exhaust pipe on my roof my thought was that it was grounded but I wasn't sure.
Any advice would be helpful.
