I was away from scanning since the analog days and decided to get back into it. Purchased a Home Patrol 2 Scanner and had it professionally programmed for the metro area counties. I live in Burnsville and am using an 800 rubber antenna frim Radio Shack. As expected I get Dakota County very clearly. I also get many transmissions on St. Paul's 3 main channels and some transmissions from Washington Counties North and South channels, some from Bloomington police and fire, and a little Scott County fire.
I cannot receive any transmissions from St. Paul fire or Minneapolis police or fire. I took the scanner into the middle of both St. Paul and Minneapolis, but only get St. Paul police. I called the programmer and they said it worked fine for them in both cities.
I'm new to this digital world and am out of ideas. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks.
