I was wondering why is it that if I listen to the online scanner
Anderson County, South Carolina (SC) Live Police, Fire, and EMS Scanners on RadioReference.com
on the P25 system that it comes in much clearer than my BCD996XT scanner. I'm less than ten miles from the systems tower. I know hills and trees have a whole to do with it but I'm pretty much away from those. The scanner is hooked to a 800mhz antenna on a pole attached to my chimney pointed in the correct direction in which it is 20 ft from the ground. I have adjusted, tweaked, read up on all the suggested ways of making my scanner come in clearer but it never has sounded as good as the online scanner.
Just curious. Does anyone know what type of electronics are used to produce such a clean signal? Is it just a direct connection to the agencies? I've gotten to the point that I really don't bother turning on the scanner because I can here it on my lab top. The only thing however is I can't "hold" it on a certain TGID if I here something interesting.
thanks
