Greetings good people,
A friend of mine has been asking me to post a question here to get some knowledge. He picked up an APX6000-UHF has programmed his local HAM frequencies as well as local Fire Departments that still operate UHF to listen to radio traffic where he lives. He is able to hit one of the 2 FDs. The one he can hear is further away from his place of residence and the FD that is close to his place, he is unable to hear, despite having the tones and frequency set properly.
Any insight or reason(s) on this with the folks know the APX would greatly be appreciated.
p.s. The unit has ASTRO and can do trunking (I am not familiar w/ the system, so apologies in advance). I told him to stay out of trouble so trouble can stay out of his way if he has no idea what to do or risk a big boo boo.
