OK. I got this county wide public safety system using VHF high, UHF and 800mhz, all conventional. I get great reception using just about any kind of antenna, some locations are 15 miles away; EXCEPT, I've got 5 VHF frequencies for two local PD departments that are less than 2 miles away, 1 is less than 1 mile that the 400 won't pick up. Other freqs that are close, both above and below come in just fine. Next to my PSR-400 is my PRO 2006, it has no problem receiving these freqs. I've tried 4 different antennas: a 1/2 wave dipole cut to 155mhz 1/4 wave on each side, a 48" 18" OCFD, a Diamond RH771 and a RS 20-176, nothing, nada. I tried all of these antennas on both the PSR-400 and the PRO 2006. Nothing on the 400 and always on the 2006. The antennas were always in same location, cables the same etc. BTW, no attenuation set for the trouble freqs. Am I stating the obvious? Comments?
