I just moved from Abilene, TX, to College Station, TX. Abilene PD operated at about 156.xxx and the singal was VERY strong and VERY clear. Sounded clear as a telephone. Now I get to College Station, where the PD uses Motorola Type II 800 Mhz trunking systems...and it sounds like garbage. The volume of the transmissions is so low that I have to crank up the volume on the scanner. And then when someone transmits, there's so much static along with the voice signal that it's just incredibly annoying. And sometimes it sounds like the officers are just barely whispering into their mics.
Ugh...I thought htis 800 Mhz stuff was supposed to be a lot better! Where am I going wrong? How can I hear this 800 system as clear as I was hearing the 150 in my last town? :-(
