I just purchased a BCD436hp with a stock antenna. I live in Simi Valley which is just over the hill (different county) from Los Angeles. I programmed the scanner using the Sentinel software and making separate lists for
1. Simi PD
2. Ventura County Fire
3. Ventura County Sheriff
4. LAPD
5. LAFD
6. CHP
7. La County Fire
8. La County Sheriff
I can hear all stations from Ventura County (1-3). Would an antenna make that much of a difference on the LA county stations and CHP. I am literally 3 miles from the county line (birds eye) so i should be able to pick up their signal. Is there somethingIi could of missed on programming, although I cut and paste all the channels the same (sentinel style).
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
