I am having mixed results (i.e., its working now that I removed all but the four control channels, and L/O three of those) and move the scanner around. So, all the settings are within the ball park. At this point, I just need to do trial and error to see what works best in my situation with a BCD325P2 in a simulcast environment with the idea to find one good clean signal from the control channels.

Thank you Whiskey3JMC for the link simulcast distortion. This is/was a good diagnosis. and, thank you Enforcer52 for looking at my programming and advising on using the four control channels only.

I mostly do 2M amateur radio but I like the scanners too. The city I live in is growing so fast - they seem to do some major system upgrades or expansion about every 3-5 years rendering my scanner(s) obsolete. Time to look at Uniden's SDS100 and SDS200.

Check your squelch setting. It is normally set to 2.
Thank you. I have started to mess with squelch more given that I'm likely experiencing multipath. That and different locations and antenna scenarios. I'm getting signals now intermittently ( 1/2 hour receiving/not receiving, etc.) - just need fine tuning at this point I believe.
