ok i'll try to explain the best i can... I just bought a house in the villages on the side of the treatment plant over here, i am trying to pcik up Selfridge AfB. Before at my old place on meadowbrook, I could pick up the ATIS but it was little staticy.. I moved closer and now i can't even pick up the ATIS at all, nothing but static, tried even with the ATT on, still nothing. It appears all Military freq are null, My setup is i have my discone setup just above the roof top, connected into a Nexxtech amp, I have tried swapping out amp and straight feeding in, but results are still the same. As for AM freq's it has improved greatly for cleveland artc and as well metro, i actually have to have to have the ATT on in order to get a clear reception. Just wondering what could be causing not too pick up selfridge. I was using the ATIS as a guide point to picking up selfridge. I was further away and was able to pick it up, now i move closer and get nothing.. I am using a BC 898t as for the coax for antenna i have LMR-400, as far as i could tell all connections are good, and coax has no splits or frays. On my pro-2096 i can pick macomb county's public saftey system no probs even sarnia fleetnet tower i can pick up. So just wondering if anyone else has any options i can try
Need help

it sounds like you may have a high noise floor in the area. Try monitoring winsor ATIS and drive arround a bit while listening to it. If it is some type of local interfearance the signal quality should improve quickly as you move away from the source of noise.
Another cause might be the radiation pattern from Selfrige ATIS you may just be in a null area.
