I received my new PSR600 on UPS yesterday. I have programmed a couple of local conventional digital channels in. One channel is a Fire Department and the other channel is a Sheriff's Department. I am experiencing poor digital decoding on both channels. Both channels are in the 150mhz band. I have the radio connected to my AntennaCraft outdoor antenna (which worked GREAT with my old RS analog scanner).
On the FD channel sometimes I hear audio and sometimes I hear the buzz saw. The signal strength meter shows a full signal.
On the Sheriff I hear audio from the mobile units but only the buzz saw from dispatch. Again the signal strength meter shows a good signal.
I have tried both frequencies with and without the attenuator in and there is no difference.
Do I have a bad radio or have I missed something somewhere?
