Itasca County

[northscan23]

I was wondering how come I can't seem to pick up Itasca County even though I live in Duluth. I pick up Lake County,Douglas,Ashland,Washburn(occasionally Carlton as well) okay but not Itasca. I would assume my house is too far out of range. I assume that I probably need a stronger antenna for my scanner (pro-106) right?

Distance vs. Antenna

The 800Mhz ARMER system does not have that great of range depending on the location of your house you might be able to get it with a directional antenna. The 800Mhz tower sites are short range compared to the Old VHF systems, so the art of listening to more then one county is more complicated and harder.

Do you have the Itasca Simul site in your radio 852.7500cc ?

This is the range map for Itasca county so unless you are near the area or have a good outdoor antenna you will more then likely not be able to hear their county. Itasca County Silmulcast
