Hi all,
I've had a 396XT for awhile now and really enjoy it... and just came across a nice used PRO-197 this weekend.
There is a P25 system about 40 miles away that the 396XT has no problems receiving... but the PRO-197 can't lock on the control channel. I can't even hear the control channel above the static on the PRO-197 in manual mode. I'm using the same antenna for both tests.
I also have a PRO-164 and can't hear the control channel above the static on that radio either.
The PRO-197 does a fine job receiving and decoding everything else around the area... so I don't think there's anything defective.
Just wondering... is the 396XT known for better receive over its Radio Shack / GRE counterparts?
Thanks much!
