In testing my new 436HP next to my 396XT, I am finding that I cannot under any circumstance get a ERR rate of less than high 60's with FULL signal strength. As a comparison, my 396XT gets 0 with the same antenna. When I remove the antenna from the 396XT, the error is still 0 even with only 1 bar.
Are the ERR levels different for the 436HP? Is 60 the lowest the new scanners go to? I've tried changing the P25 level to 11, 8, 6, NFM, FM, and m 800MHz P25 is garbled as heck, with 1.02 and 1.03 firmware. Did I happen to get a lemon? I should take a photo of the two scanners side by side on the same channel with an antenna on the HP and nothing on the XT......it really is disturbing looking at 82 on the HP and 0 on the XT as I type.
