Need some suggestions. I have a Uniden BCD996p2 installed in a vehicle. After getting it programed using Free Scan it works perfectly sitting in the driveway at my house. When I drive to the city where I work that's 10 miles away I get a NFM while I'm within the city limits. If I go outside the city limits it works again. It's like the city is a black hole. There are certain places I can go and it works, but if I go a few feet from that spot I get NFM again. I've tried changing antennas (a 800mzh) but nothing changes. I've done other suggestions I've seen on other threads, still nothing. I've re-programed the scanner several times with different configurations, no difference.
This seems only occurs in the city I work in. The terrain is not a factor. It's right on the Gulf Coast (Hurricane Michael came through almost three years ago and flattened the area). The county Law Enforcement switch over to 800mzh digital Motorola P25 phase 2 system about two months ago. I'm thinking about getting a db gain antenna but I'm afraid to spend the money and it doesn't work. Any suggestion would be nice.
