Signals from low-power HT's inside a steel building are not going to travel very far.Well I have been sitting here for a bit and it’s been silent the entire time I have my hot and my big antenna with a sdr and I have heard nothing but I’ll keep checking and let you know
Did you hear activity on this frequency previously? You seemed to indicate that you did in your first post. Otherwise, you could try listening from the Costco parking lot or somewhere nearby. If you still hear nothing after spending sometime camped on the channel, then maybe they moved over to spread-spectrum radios, as mentioned above by @Whiskey3JMC
