Help with bureau county radio traffic

[cristof11]

Looking to see if anyone can help me with Bureau county radio traffic. Comes in static and can barely hear. All other channels in area are clear using sds200 w DMR and Provoice w Larsen tri band Nmo antenna

Your location says Roscoe. Roscoe isn't anywhere near Bureau County. I'm guessing you mean Boone County?

No sir I live in Princeton now. Updating as we speak

 

[Mex]

Oh ok. That makes more sense. What channel(s) specifically are you having issues with?

 

[cristof11]

151.32500 barely comes in even when I am right by dispatch.

 

[Mex]

Definitely sounds like the repeater is overloading your SDS200

 

[cristof11]

Any suggestions

 

[Mex]

have you tried testing any of the built-in filters? What results have you gotten with them?

 

[cristof11]

I’ve set to auto

 

[Mex]

I'm not to sure what else you can do about overloading. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.

Not having looked up where the TX site is, keep in mind if a Repeater it may not be right at Dispatch (likely a High Building or Hill/Mountain)
and your lack of signal could be from many other sources [High power VHF transmitter near by]
