Just picked up the 800, and I'm quite impressed so far. However, there is one major issue I've noticed when scanning, especially with the local trunked 800mhz system here in Madison, WI (moto II).
The issue is that when the scanner picks up a transmission, I hear the first second of audio, then the audio drops for a half-second or so, then it picks back up and stays up for the remainder. It doesn't do this every time, but frequently enough to be annoying. This causes me to miss important info, like a callsign or street name, etc. The display still shows the transmission receiving correctly. Anyone else have this issue? My old RS Pro-95 can scan right next to it and stay up for the whole transmission. I'm using the RS 800MHz antenna with the GRE scanner.
It kinda feels like it's acting as if a priority channel was set and it's checking that, but I haven't set any of those.
Any ideas? I'm thinking of calling GRE to see what they say.
