Hi. I have a BCD396XT scanner. Ive had it for a long time. The 2 freqs im trying to scan are 155.955 and 154.875. These cut in and out of reception it's simulcast. Are these simulcast freqs? If they are ill have to purchase the sds100. The links are below with fcc license. Thanks. Please lmk with info you know.

These are not 'simulcast sites' in the sense of what you'd be dealing with on a trunked system.
Frequency 155.955 is licensed for one transmit site on the license you linked,
KNDT265. However, there are two additional licenses for that frequency in your county.
KRH341 shows two sites. There are additional locations on license
WREK281.
Frequency 154.875 has four transmit sites, all on license
WPFZ700.
Normally, multiple sites on a conventional (non-trunked) system do not cause the issues that Simulcast sites do on a trunked system. Are these "cutting in and out" on a specific interval, like every (pick a number, 2? 3? 4?) seconds? If so, then you have something enabled on your scanner causing that. It could be conventional channel priority, weather priority, or Close Call. Make sure that none of hose are activated. If you have a very good, strong, signal, you might try using attenuation on that specific frequency, If the issue is being caused by interference from other devices (such as your broadband modem, PC, printer, or in some cases, certain lighting systems), you can try to shield the scanner from that, or try setting the IFX to a different value for that specific frequency. Instructions to do that can be found in the Easier to Read
manual for your scanner.
