I was not going to respond anymore but being human I hate to see anyone throw money in the garbage these days. Ugh, No, that antenna is overkill, add good cable and connectors and maybe an amp at that frequency and its 200- $300 You can’t try to overcome propagation physics or atmospheric conditions to solve a “filter problem“, but if money is no object, enjoy. You are reaching the point of what I call “diminishing returns”.
My very final observation, if you are generally receiving acceptable voice from your two sites, why do you even care about filters, rssi, errors or antennas? No reception is perfect all the time.
End of my advice.
So, I will sum it up the best I possibly can for you, as a newer individual into this hobby.
First, overkill would be an acceptable term. However, I had a seasoned member on here reach out to me. He made a coverage map based on my area,and sites, regarding coverage area. Looking at his maps I couldn't agree more that, if even off some, are from what I've been able to gather, spot on. I don't believe that antenna would be as much "overkill" as much as beneficial due to my area.
As far as fixing a filter problem. Well, I have nothing on the issue that could be a logical answer to it. Simply, if I can throw money at it to make it better even some, sure, whatever.
Acceptable voice from my 2 sites. Well, yes I do, could be for an hour could be for 6 hours. Then back to flipping through filters to find the best one...again. I'm a pro at getting those filters flipped through at this point. Uniden should consider hiring me to do a fast tutorial video on how to switch them at this point.
Why do I care about filters,rssi,errors or antennas. No reception is perfect all the time. Well, because that's what makes this grand sds line of scanners tick. Instead, I had people blowing smoke up my ass telling me it was the best of the best and top of the line. What they didn't say was that if you don't have simulcast, this isn't for you, and will save you a lot of time and issues. But, do you think Uniden, or anyone who sells Unidens products is going to be honest..??? Hell no, they want the money and could give 2 ****s about any of their consumers.
I appreciate your logical opinions, and you taking the time out of your day to respond. What I don't care for is, if you wanted to throw your weight around and smart mouthed opinions, probably more so for the fact you can look amazing for doing so to your buddies on this forum, I could care less. If newer people who aren't as savvy on this stuff and ask too many questions is an issue, tell your admin buddies to make it a rule. Then you and that other clown wiener lips or whatever they call themselves can make up the rules as you go along. I ain't playing that game no longer..
