I am having an interesting issue on a single VHF frequency on my PSR 600.
I had a Pro 433 with a RS 20-176 antenna and had about 50 feet of RG58 cable, and I was able to get all the VHF frqs no problem.
I then ugraded to the PSR600 and kept the same antenna and moved it up about 20 feet higher and am running 60 feet of RG6. I was having issues getting most VHF signals, Very garbled, sounded very weak. So I applied the Attenuator and they all come in crystal clear now...except 1. The one is transmitted from about 30 miles away. Without the attenuator on the signal shows full signal stregnth reading, but no "S". With the attenuator on it drops to about 1 bar, and if I am monitoring it I can pick up the signal very scratchy, but it when scanning it will not stop on it for traffic, but at times it will stop on it for a brief second, like it broke the squelch and then go back to scanning.
Is the scanner getting too much signal? I highly doubt I am too far away because it is a VHF signal, and it is only 30miles, and I got it just fine before with my pro 433 and have raised my antenna since then.
