Hospital interference

[edwardscott]

Hello all;

Wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get around interference, such as in my case, from a local hospital about four blocks away. Whenever mobile in about that radius, constant garble comes over a few conventional numbers I need to keep programmed. Now that I've moved to a distance close to that radius, about every five minutes, about two seconds of really loud garble comes over a frequency on my home base on my small discone set up.

Any tips/ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Edward Scott

P.S. now becoming somewhat of a regular visitor to this website, I should mention how appreciated it is of those who regularly contribute, even for the silliest of questions. This is a great community. Keep up the great work!

I post, you post

i get the same thing Edward. Sometimes when my local fire department repeateris active it causes garble and pagers to blanket everything.

Hi Edward , engage the ATTenuation button to control the rogue tx's.
Another thought as well , use PL tones( if known) to filter out other users on same freq.

If you don't know the PL of the users your listening to you can use this program to tell you.

Thank you...the ATT seems to have helped a lot.
How do you use PL tones? They are in the database, but I've never used them. This is for an old PRO-26....is it even possible?

Disregard them for your Pro-26 . This feature appeared on later models.
