773.9312

[W1JOP]

773.9312 is the main CC for troop-E the reason why everything is choppy is because I'm off frequency, I know is a CC so I am not 100% sure how all of this works, but ProScan download the freq from RR as 773.9312, but when I go into the scanner its 773.93125 im assuming if the cc is going to be off freq im going to assume everything will be off

How can I correct that it goes in at 773.9312, I get the Troop F tower just fine, I am receiving a strong signal from troop E but always suspected based on how the audio sounded I was off freq, even when I manually enter 773.9312 and I hit E it changes to 773.93125

I am using the SDS200, its and expensive scanner so I am starting to get a little frustrated does anyone know how the freq can be entered exactly without any KC deviation IFX does not help the situation

This explains it

In short, it doesn't matter.

773.93125 is the correct frequency, 773.9312 is not valid.

Verify that Close Call and any Priority modes are OFF?

Improve your antenna and its location?

I had the same question about this the other day. Great thread to read thru although there were mixed answers.

Yeah, this comes up often,

Where are you actually located? What antenna are you using?

what other options might I have, i have low noise and i am receiving

Increasing scanner range

new to scanning. Might not understand some advanced terminology. Does anyone have some recommendations for antennas or methods to increase the range of my scanner. I use a BCD325p2 and would like to pickup trunked frequencies. I also use a diamond RH77CA. I can get a good range outside, but...

I would think you'd be able to get them both there looking at the maps, I guess follow the instructions @doctordialtone posted and see if that helps. Also just for giggles and grins try the antenna that came with the scanner. While I doubt that will help, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Also I'm curious to "choppy audio". is it actually cutting out? If so any pattern to it, or is it just garbled sounding?

773.93125 is the correct frequency, 773.9312 is not valid.

Which scanner do you have that shows it as 773.93125?

 

[W1KNE]

773.93125 is the correct frequency, 773.9312 is not valid.

Simple answer.
Some scanners round off the last number. Both are valid.

so to break it down
773 million
931 thousand
250 hertz
so the difference is less than you can whistle.

So maybe a brief audio clip would be helpful to hear what is meant by “choppy.” As was mentioned CC or priority could be on or just inadequate signal. Also mentioned by k9klc if no clip available a better definition of choppy is needed.

Oh I'm aware, just pointing out that even if it rounds off, the actual frequency is .xxx25
