I updated my firmware to 2.1 last night in my PSR-500. Since doing so, I immediately noticed a reduction in the CC signal strength for my state's VHF TRS (Virginia STARS). This afternoon, I changed back to 2.0 but the signal strength was still weak. So, I reinstalled 2.1 and downloaded my Win500 file to the scanner again but no changes were seen.
My Pro-197 (firmware has not been updated, yet) is still running strong in my vehicle on STARS. It has an external antenna. I hooked the 500 to the antenna and it improved it a little... however nothing like it was in the past or close to the 197's current performance.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? It seems odd the problem would start right after the firmware update. What could cause this?
