I am using both the pro106 and WS1040 the 1040 picks up Mpls Fire well where as the Pro. 106 has trouble i am using both with the radioshack 800Mhz antenna both in New Brighton. Any ideas why one picks mpls up and one has trouble

Thanks in advance

I suspect it might be a simulcast distortion issue. The scanner actually receives the system, but has trouble decoding the audio.


It's also possible you may have some type of attenuation on for the system on one scanner but not the other. (I'm unfamiliar with these scanners, but Uniden has this potential).


One way to confirm simulcast distortion is to bring the scanner to within 1/4 mile of a transmitter/site and see if you hear things better.
