I live in northern Palm Beach, almost Martin County. I have a Laird Omni Base 824-896 6db base antenna and a Radio Shack discone base antenna. When I lived in western Broward County, I was able to pick up PBSO and even Naples & Ft. Myers at night. The antenna(s) were mounted about 12 feet high on my on the side of my home using 50 feet of LMR-400 coax.
I realize there are different geographical, interference, etc issues in different places, but I'm curious if anyone is in northern Palm Beach, southern Martin county and able to pick up Broward Sheriff or other Broward agencies. If so, what is your set up. I'm not getting anything further south than Boynton with the antenna mounted on my roof.
A few people in my neighborhood have ham radio towers set up. I don't know if I get either of my antennas up 30+ feet if that will enable me to get Broward.
