One thing you will find is things are different from system to system. There are many factors that will affect how your radio reacts
Location location location.
My 700 megahertz P2 simulcast tdma system is in Bucks County PA, it has one site called... Simulcast.
There are 24 towers over a 600 + square mile County. The heaviest concentration of towers is in the southern part of the county on the Philadelphia border where I live. I am in the middle of three towers approximately two miles from each one.
As I was saying if you do a search on RR or Google, it will refer you to the scores of threads from 2015. There was quite a bit of denial back then mostly from people who were a thousand miles from the nearest P2 system. LOL.
One of the more effective ways used in our County was a yagi antenna or directional antenna that would be focused on the closest Tower.
System hold time, not to be confused with a delay on an object is your friend.
There were people that used paint cans that they would drill a hole in and stick their antennae to their 436 in the hole. Some people used a Comet CH-32 miracle baby. The less efficient antenna, the better, some people even got good results from a paperclip. Location location location.
There were those because of their location did not have issues but most did.
My co-workers and I got Motorola radios disabled for transmit that of course worked great. Some people got the pagers.
There are so many factors involved including how the individual system itself is calibrated.
Not all P2 systems are the same but simulcast distortion secondary to LSM is a pia, hence the SDS series was created and Brand X tried or didn't try with their vaporware.
As time goes on you will find out what your system is like and the parts of the county that are affected the most.
Enjoy reading up on it, there is so much here on RR from the past.
