airgreek said:So which one is better or more effective in your opinion?
RocketMan1 said:I can't tell you the difference between the two, but I can tell you the signal stalker II works great. I just bought the RS 2055, which has the signal stalkerII, I have been using it here in my town, I read somewhere that the signal stalker is used to find CLOSE signals only, around 1000 feet at most, I have been picking up my local PD/FD all over town, anywhere from a couple of blocks to a few miles, I'm thinking it might be because I'm about 1/2 mile away from the dispatch, but thats still more than 1000 feet.
Voyager said:I get Close Call hits for miles depending on the terrain and the transmitter power.
In your case, are you SURE you are picking up the signal the triggered the hit, or are you picking up the local FD because they happen to be transmitting and the stronger signal that triggered the hit (and would be received in CC/SS) is missed?
When you say you received weak signals, that indicates it was not the signal that triggered the hit in the first place.
Since both START with nearfield receivers, both should in theory have identical range (or very close). CC/SS ends with tuning to the found frequency while SS-II finishes by initiating a SEARCH mode, thus not necessarily finding the hit.

RocketMan1I never mentioned receiving weak signals said:No - mancow did. I was responding to that statement in the same reply. Sorry if it was confusing.
