Although most Costcos have gone the spread spectrum route (Motorola DLRs and the like) which are unscannable by off the shelf scanners

Just curious, how far would you say that you could hear Costco‘s business with a ht radio

Well the fact that ops are mobile only, a few hundred yards?

Depending on where the location is (Height above Average Terrain) and from where inside a (portables only) metal fabricated building, at most a 1mi or 2mi depending your Antenna as well

Generally a Mile or two at most, without knowing the terrain and other obstructions

 

[Murrrrrray]

Ok I was just curious and I’ll let u know if I hear them with my big antenna and my hot antenna

 

[Murrrrrray]

Ht

 

[Murrrrrray]

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

Honestly I'm not at all surprised. Those mobiles are simplex (not repeated) and are intended for in store coverage only. As Bill alluded to in post #8 building materials may further dampen RF propagating out

That may explain why the two VHF freqs have gone dark at my Costco. Haven't heard a peep in months. I'll have to look at their radios next time i'm there.
