I just acquired a used 996XT and have it set up with all of my favourite stuff.

I'm a bit disappointed in the P25 decode quality compared to my PSR-600.
Just wondering if anyone in Calgary has adjusted any of the P25 settings on their 996 for the Calgary Municipal system, and if it made a difference?

I haven't ever tweaked my Uniden digital settings for any of the digital systems I monitor.

What are you experiencing? When I'm in the city, the P25 comms are usually pretty good in my experience. Are you getting dropouts where it goes back to un-decoded digital, and if so is that only at the beginning of transmissions, or all throughout?

Nothing that bad, just "lesser quality" more "digital-sounding voices". Kinda more like what DSD produces.
I'll probably get used to it.
