Pro 95

I am getting "bleed over" on my pro 95 and I'm not sure how to fix it. For example, I have the scaner on ID HOLD on a PD channel, and all of a sudden I'll hear traffic from a fire channel on the PD channel. Any ideas? Thanks

Looking at RR's database it appears your FD frequency is 460.550MHz, and PD is very close at 460.425MHz. Not too smart on the part of whom ever setup their system,

What are you using as an antenna on your PRO-95? If you're using an outside antenna, try using the stock rubber duck antenna to reduce the signal level, or enable the attenuator and see if that helps.

sorry, should have clarified. It's on a local EDACS standard system, City of Aurora, CO to be exact.

Those frequencies are plenty apart to not simply bleed on each other unless the receiver is 'sitting under' a transmitter of the non-desired frequency. If they were .425 & .450 that might be different; but not .425 & .550.

In order to help you better can you provide more specific details? What is the control channel frequency you are holding on? Do you know the frequency of the offender? Are you using an outdoor antenna and/or amplifier? Extra amplifiers are notorious for causing these kinds of issues.

Perhaps you can use the ATT feature on that channel/frequency in order to lower the input signal strength to your front end.
