Greetings everyone! I am using the UV-5R as a low cost receiver (not using for transmission) for fire department automation. I have several of these in various areas. I have had no problems receiving UHF frequencies in any of the areas I have used them. VHF on the other hand is problematic, to say the least in any of the areas I have tried to use them.
Either I receive nothing at all or I receive just enough signal to break squelch, which gives me 95% noise and barely any of the actual broadcast.
Has anyone else noticed this issue, and/or any recommendations on improving the signal reception? I am not against upgrading the antenna if that is a suitable fix.
Thanks!
Stephen
