I'm not talking about "strong" as overpowering. This happened at an airshow, probably half a mile from the tower and aircraft comms are low power.
I'm talking about good, clear signals that my other scanner receives and scans with no problems. Even the audio from the Thunderbirds was choppy, every time it would pick up the start of a transmission and drop out, and I could hear it continue loud and clear on my other rig.
Not practical to program this thing in the field while actions going on, thats for sure. Would be nice if it had an across the board ATT button ,,, But again, I really don't think overload is causing this sub par reception.
901 is out of stock and tough to find anywhere, I'll go with a diamond RH77 and see if that helps - Though I really think it is receiving just fine, it is just not translating that signal to the speaker very well for whatever reason.
Also got another scanner specifically for airshows, BC125AT . If that turns out Ok I'll sell my Alinco DJX2000, don't need 3 handhelds.
I paid over $600 for it years ago, as advanced as it is with functions I'm guessing I'll do good to get $200 for it since its not digital.
