What Do you mean?


Im doing a search manually from 150 to 174 and from 450 to 470 and they hit them but no noise at all, Sometimes i get a CC Code or the word DMR but if I hit a p25 site it whits them all the time and the voice is clear and crisp

A conventional DMR will transmit even when no one is talking , maybe it's a low traffic system and no one has talked ,

I had to use a roof antenna on my car to pick up a 100 watt trunking system just across town
