interference

I have a new feed - Melrose Police & Fire. I am noticing there is constant digital-infused background noise at all times between transmissions on my port, as if my squelch is open. I do not hear it on other channels. It is not coming from the scanner, and the computer is outputing clean audio at...

I mounted a R.S. 20-176 antenna (which gets rave reviews) just above the roofline and attached the mounting bracket to the back of my “butterfly” uhf TV antenna with the scanner antenna radials only a couple of inches above the T.V antenna.. The scanner antenna now receives worse outside than...

Is anyone aware that there's a new broadcaster installed somewhere between Amherstburg and Windsor ans is emitting in the 902Mhz-928Mhz range? I have a point to point link between Amherstburg and Windsor that use a hopping RF modem, it was working well since installation day and now the signal...

Ok guys. I am stumped. I have been through my codeplugs a few dozen times and I can't see anything wrong with them. Here is the problem, We use XTS5000s for Americans and XTS1500s for our TCNs. Both radio sets have issues regarding the unmuting of transmission. Randomly, but often the radios...

I was wondering if there was anyone else who routinely drives in the south metro on 35W in the Burnsville area, right around the Burnsville Parkway and Hwy 13 areas. Any time I've driven those roads lately (*the last 6 months or so) I've picked up very strong interference along both off ramps...

Ok, here's the scoop. 1 channel and 1 channel only on my scanners (155.58) comes in super noisy (Filled with Interference). The problem goes only goes away in 2 situations: A) I turn off my Wi-Fi router/modem a few feet away OR B) I pick up the scanner(s) and lift them a few inches off...

I bought a PRO106 exactly 30 days ago. It's going back today because of this awful interference I get only on 800mhz. All the systems are trunked, and it's both on Mot-II and EDACS. And also, it's both on a local system (San Francisco, where I live) and remote systems (Oakland and BART subway...

Is it common for really old cordless phones to leak onto frequencies in the 440mhz band? This came over my radio today and I thought it was very strange. "07" is the FRS channel 7. YouTube - Cordless phone leaks conversation over 440 mhz GMRS frequency. Anybody else pick up things like this...

OK, I'm just a listener, but I am really tired of the interference problems my local PD (Grenada city) is suffering. It seems that the Yalobusha County Sheriff's department's repeater output is on the city of Grenada's repeater input. This causes problems on a fairly regular basis because the...

I am new - and recently began providing feed from Marquette County, MI. I really think the scanner feeds are a great idea as I have listened to scanner 24/7 since age 16 in my job as news reporter. Big problem is a hum in feed. Thought the Radio Shack ground loop isolator would fix problem. It...

Hello all, first let me start off by saying that I work for Oklahoma State University Parking Enforcement, and we use a Motorola VHF system. We kind of have a problem, we have a Motorola in car radio in one of our Crown Victoria's and we're having some transmission issues. The radio broadcasts...

Couldn't find a thread anywhere that covered this so... I sometimes (haven't completely ran the coax where I want it) hook up a discone antenna to my BC780XLT, I have been able to increase my radius where I receive transmissions from but there is a realy noticable distortion in the audio.. Is...

Has anyone been successful setting up an ltr system using Idylltek's LT8R controller? If, so did you come across talkgroups interfering with one another, and how did you correct this?
