A few months ago my company decided to install a privately owned cellular repeater to help with cellular reception here in the building.
It has provided us with literally zero benefit on the cellular reception, but has caused one hell of a mess when trying to monitor my local EDACS system.
I first thought it was a problem with shielding or even RF coming in through the speaker leads on my Pro-97, so I brought in my MP-A radio and I am still hearing this infernal whining noise coming through with every transmission. No reduction in the noise , even with the superior shielding and filtering that the MP-A has !
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can get around this? I've tried turning on the attenuator on the Pro-97, but that did nothing more than reduce my reception, giving me unreadable scratch-laden audio.
Obviously, since radio monitoring is not one of my job tasks (but is allowed since I have a private office), the company couldn't give a steaming pile of gerbil vomit whether or not I can listen. Oddly though, even though they spent $5k and then some on this piece of hardware that is provide us with no benefit other than excessive RF exposure (ok - so I might be stretching that a bit!), they will not take it back out or return it.
Thanks so much in advance!
