I’ve heard that problems can occur when a scanner receives overlapping digital signals from multiple towers in simulcast. Is this true? I have 2 different model scanners having the same problem.
The problem is intermittent but happening on about 50% of the transmissions. Half are crystal clear and the other half you only get every other second of audio.
The scanner is in a building under one if the towers, so signal strength should be immaculate.
In an attempt to reduce the signal strength from the other simulcast towers I first tried putting the global attenuation to the and adding physical -6db attenuators and finally just removed the antennas completely. Signal strength is still “too good”? I am still having the problem. I haven’t tried shielding the scanners yet but I guess that’s the next step?
is this a common problem? Are there any workarounds I haven’t mentioned?
