Here is an update on my issue with the Met Park Rangers.
As many of you will recall the Met Park Rangers were the first users here on the MARCS -IP system. Since inception I would receive 500+ hits a month through March 2014. In April 2014 my hits dropped to 32 and in May 2014 dropped to -0-.
This morning I hooked up my PSR 800 to my ST2 antenna 40 ft up and loaded only the Met Park Rangers Talkgroups with Cuyahoga, Lake and Geauga Control channels. With that I am getting an ocassional weak hit on TG 54638 Dispatch off the Chagrin Tower. I also hooked up my PSR 500 with just the Met Park TG's and Cuyahoga, Lake and Geauga Control channels and hooked it up to my YAGI antenna pointed at the Chagrin tower. Not one single hit.
I use my PSR 500 as my base radio and under normal MARCS-IP listening I hear Lakewood, Westshore, etc clear. So I am going to make an assumption here that 2 things have happened. (1) Met Park Rangers no longer simulcast on Lake and Geauga Towers (2) Met Park Rangers have cut their power (if that is possible). I have no clue what else the issue could be for loss of reception just for Met Park Rangers.
