I have been monitoring the ARMER site in Duluth for a few weeks now (Duluth-Simulcast), when I first was able to setup my Pro-197 scanner and monitor the talkgroups at that site, it worked wonderfully now all of a sudden everything is garbled. Completely un-listenable unless I drive out of Morgan park on the western end of Duluth. I have tried everything I can think of to remedy this issue. From my location I cannot pick up any other sites (besides Carlton County which works great but not interested in listening to that county) I have 3 grecom family scanners and all 3 are doing the exact same thing. My question is if anyone has any ideas for a remedy, I tried attenuating and switching/moving antennas around. It seems I get the best possible reception with a rubber duck antenna in my basement of all places. But this last week something had to of changed on the ARMER site, as reception went from perfect to completely unlistenable in my home area. On the control channel the best I can get is 44% most of the time, other times the control channel is fine but then the voice channels all seem to be acting up. There has got to be a fix for this, I cant believe Police and Fire are not having issues here using their radios in Morgan Park.
