I have an outdoor rooftop antenna that works great for frequencies using analog. Can hear frequencies about 30 miles away from me. When it comes to receiving frequencies that are using P25 I can't even receive the P25 frequencies that have towers 10 miles away from me. Could this be because of water in the cable? When I installed the antenna I wasn't thinking about everything such as water getting the cable. Had the antenna for more than 1.5 years and didn't even think about it as analog works great. Now more and more cities are getting P25 and so I went to buy a P25 scanner (HP1) and the antenna picks up the signal but it is very skippy and has high error rates. Sometimes it is clear enough to hear what they are saying but most times I hear like the first word before it just gives high error rates. I could be very wrong but if the cable had water damage wouldn't the analog signals come in very bad too? Thanks
