I was thinking about that yesterday as I was driving from Columbus down to Kings Island. Does the 996 rely on the GPS for the multisite or does it just look for any another system when it looses the signal of the current system?
Also, If the MARCS system is programmed, how do you keep the radio from picking up other/non-MARCS trs that happen to be using one of the MARCS freqs?
While driving down 71 from Columbus I was picking up an analog system on one of the MARCS freqs I had programmed. It was public safety with an id of 232eh and alot of private calls. It wasn't bad listening, but if I was in the middle of listening to an OSP incident I would have missed it when the radio changed CC to the analog system.
Ahhh, it was Franklin County......I should have looked first. Good coverage last night to the SW. I should have known since I was picking them up on the east side of Newark also.
Anyway, how would you keep from picking up other systems that happen to be using a freq. that MARCS uses.
