Should I be able to pick up Milwaukee County Scanner Traffic From the Village of Sussex in Waukesha County

Yes, you should generally be able to pick up Milwaukee County scanner traffic from the Village of Sussex in Waukesha County, as the distance is only about 20 to 25 miles, which is well within normal scanner reception range. With a modern digital scanner and a properly tuned antenna, Milwaukee County transmissions should come in clearly. However, reception quality can vary due to several factors, including simulcast distortion, which is common on P25 trunked systems and can cause broken or missed audio on many scanners. Antenna type and placement also play a major role, as an outdoor or higher-mounted antenna will significantly improve signal strength, while indoor setups may struggle. In addition, terrain, buildings, and local interference can affect reception, along with accurate programming of control channels and talkgroups. Overall, with the right equipment and setup, receiving Milwaukee County traffic from Sussex should be very achievable.

OP:

Are you trying to listen to the trunked system? If so, whether or not you will hear Milwaukee County traffic is dependent on which subsystem (site) you are listening to. If you are listening to the Waukesha County site, there is much you will not hear because it's not broadcast outside of Milwaukee County. If you are listening to the Milwaukee County site and have good reception, you'll hear anything on WiPSN you're trying to listen to.

If you're trying to listen to something else, there are many variables.
