SDS100/SDS200: New reception issues

[VA3ADP]

Those are some interesting variables to consider. My 536 is catching most transmissions at 5 bars on this one distant system in particular. My SDS signal is on to two while scanning. The signal seems to fluctuate constantly. MY NOISE l
Signal is also fluctuating a lot also.

Have you tried tweaking the filters in the SDS scanner?

It's the automatic gain controller in the scanner that are at work and constantly adapts to the RF situation you have at your location.

Interesting! That would explain the constant fluctuation. The RSSI still seems to fluctuate, and reception seems reduced. It's usually pretty solid for me on my local system.
