Pro 652: Frequency Playing Over Another Frequency

[MrF1]

Good Evening,

I have a Radioshack Pro 652 that I just inherited.
I manually programmed all of the frequencies.

When I am tuned to 158.730(police dispatch) and someone starts broadcasting, I hear the weather over the person speaking. It only plays the weather while someone is transmitting.

The frequency I am hearing over the please dispatch is likely 162.425(NOAA).

Is there any way to prevent this?

Thank You,
MrF

many variables - so bear with the multiple questions in many parts....

a. Have you tried putting in the PL/DPL for that agency , did that eliminate it ?
b. Nearest NWS Tower to you ?
c. Anyone else hear it ? did you try a different radio ?
1. Could be intermod or image on this one radio
2. Could be coming thru the Dispatch Console or Remote lines...

I vote;

1. More likely the dispatch has the weather on in the dispatch room (if not all the time, bad weather forecasted?).
2. Adjacent channel interference/frequency multiples, and/or strong tx nearby.

Hope you find it, the radio should be more discriminating (unless overloaded). Good luck!

Try turning on the attenuator for 158.73. If you have sufficient signal strength for the PD frequency, that would help with receiver overload and intermod problems.
