Has anyone noticed a loss of signal strength for the Montgomery County Police lately? My meter on my scanner is hardly registering and the sound is terrible. The fire dept was not so hot last week but seems to be getting better. Did they loose a tower or two?

I know last week Montgomery had some problems with one of their sites. When that nasty storm came through our area the Shady Grove site took a direct lightning strike and knocked it offline. It was quickly restored later on that night. The very next day Montgomery went into a scheduled 5 minute Fail-Soft Mode so that the radio techs could figure out if everything is working OK. Since last week the signal strength has been very constant.
