I am monitoring the testing phase of my county's new VHF P25 phase 1 conventional radio system and am experiencing some simulcast distortion just as I would on a P25 trunked radio system. I should add that I am recording during the day while I am at work using my Homepatrol (HP-1) using an Antennacraft ST-3 mounted in my attic.
I know that, with a P25 trunked system, you can just program the closest site to your location and that helps. What is the answer with a P25 conventional system? Being as a conventional system has no sites programmed, it would seem that the only way to combat it would be LESS antenna sensitivity so that it would only pick up the closest tower? I was thinking about trying it using just the original antenna that came with the HP-1.
Is there another way I am missing...other than using a directional antenna like a yagi?
