ramathorne what area do you live in?
North Eastern NS
On another note
I just redid this, exactly as shown, and the 651 (same antenna as my 996Xt) sitting side by side is not picking up anything. I put in all 32 freq for this area and nothing

When the 996xt picks up, lets say, 769.66875, I know it is in my 651, but the 651 stays silent and just keeps scanning
The 651 seems like it is scanning much slower than my 996xt?
I did just pick up 772.10625 on the 651 (and 996xt), first time it has done anything since last night, and the 996xt has been squawking constantly lol
