p 25
Hi RF....man, thanks again for the insight...tremendous...so...I went onto antenna search....interestingly....I found the RACOM (.65 miles from me) antenna is basically in direct line with the p 25 that Dist 7 uses(approx 10 miles from me)....so my question is this? Does or should this only occur during transmission? Unlike up where you are....both Dist 7 East Moline and Dist 1 Sterling probably only transmit on avg 1 time every 15 min or so. How does p25 work differently than trunked? Sterling comes in as loud and clear as East Moline and it's way closer to you than to me? What makes you think RACOM is going to p25 soon? and how would that affect the analog outlying small communities on EDACS that transmitt into the County Sheriffs office?
What I did try was plugging in to a wall outlet separate from the strip near me...although it's 8 ft further away...it seems to have helped a little but it's certainly not close to perfect. What kind of Uniden scanner would you recommend? Again, I run the old bc700a off of the Discone for the Iowa State Police....one last observation. My Discone is located 8-10 ft above where my electrical transmission line enters the house....everything I've read is it shouldn't matter....your thoughts?
thanks again!
