The last 3 or 4 months or so, I cannot receive the Middlesboro Police Department much at all where I live, except occasionally. I know they still use the same channel with no encryption on it, because when in Pineville, my aunt's scanner receives it just fine. I used to be able to receive MPD just fine where I live (northern side of Bell County, whereas Middlesboro is on the exact opposite side). Like I mentioned above, I only hear them occasionally, and that is very briefly. When I do receive them now, every time they finish their traffic, I hear several seconds of nothing but static even though it still is breaking squelch, which I have set to 3. And just so everyone will know this isn't the reason, I have not made any antenna changes recently. So my main questions are:

1) Does anyone who monitors MPD notice the same thing lately?
2) Anyone have any information that they may be having tower issues, or have changed power output?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
