I got a used Pro-96 a couple of days ago and am not impressed with the quality of reception of Phoenix PD. I frequently (maybe 30% or more of the time) get garbled transmissions. Voice cuts in and out, wierd noise effects, etc. It seems to happen mostly on A deck and more often with the dispatchers than the officers. B deck and other systems, MCSO, DPS and Mesa (Only listen to this in the car as I approach/leave work) are much better. (Yes I know that MCSO and DPS are analog.
)
I've tried both the standard rubber duck and the RS 800 MHz antenna at home (I-17 & Greenway). Neither antenna nor moving around in the house seem to make a difference. I've tried both antennas and a mag mount tri-band scanner antenna in the car but no difference. I still get garbled reception.
Suggestions?
