To he honest, the only difference I see is clarity. Low volume still exists. And has been, to me, dispatcher specific. In other words where is your mic position???
I wonder if their system has an audio voice meter. Maybe an automatic gain would be good to even things out.

So guys I just wanted to get back with my report from the riverfront at the Burlington-Bristol Bridge. The digital F1 dispatch is coming in with just poor modulation. You can hear it and it's not completely broken it's just poor quality. That is on North simulcast. I have a great RSSI number. Solid data transmission.
Some operators use a headset, some don’t. They have to be cognizant of the output, which they aren’t.
Sure appears to be a problem with F1 this morning. Even my analog scanner is weak on audio.

Yes it is awful in the Burlington City, Bristol borough area. It's not just low volume but it sounds like it's not decoding well. Stark difference from the first day it went online when it was loud and clear on North simulcast. VHF doesn't sound so hot either.

A source tells me he doesn't know if tower climbers have yet replaced the jumper at the top of the tower, as I mentioned before. He doubts it.
It's been turned on today. At least in the north.
It’s sounds Horrible
The low audio!! It's real low on the old VHF as well.
Is there anyway they can fix the problem
I'm sure it will get fixed it's just a matter of trial and error. I'm quite frankly just happy to have something on the 700mhz side. FWIW the Camden County simulcast of their F-1 sounds pretty terrible at times too.
Ok When you listen to it on your SDs 100 do you get very horrible sounds on it when you listen to it And you can’t understand what there saying

That's a good way to describe it. Both the 100 and 200. The actual signal itself is strong low RSSI but it just sounds like as you described with low volume. The tones are very loud so it's not as if you can just turn it up. The VHF high is also the same way.
As w2xq said it looks like it still needs work so we can look forward to maybe it improving
I was very impressed with the performance on North simulcast when it first started on the weekend, it was clear with good volume. The tones were little wonky but it was good.
Yes I do. Even on my Unication G5. Its not there on the analog. It was different yesterday and that was different than Saturday. Like I said it is a work in progress. It will get worked out.
Audio seems better today. At least to my ear.
Actually just heard them doing test counts on both F1's a bit ago. Guess the problem is realized.
I heard that as well. And yes audio much better today coming over the Unication G5 North site. Still nothing over the South site
