Friends,
WHAT IN THE HECK AM I MISSING HERE?
This is in my truck. Reception on P25 channels are rock solid but VHF (40 MHz) reception of CHP is non existent. This is certainly not my 1st rodeo as I have been scanning for years but this specific scanner is new to me. Even with squelch zeroed out I will get an occasional and static filled reception. I know there is chatter because I can hear the transmissions on my app on my phone...just hardly on my radio. I never seemed to have the issue with my 325 or 396.
BCD996P2 with current firmware.
Larsen NMO40B whip. Not cut to 40/42 however.
All of my freqs came right off of the RR database and loaded using freescan.
Quick keys are 'on'
RG8 cable on a 15' run
