It's possible you can't hear them from Kalispell. They run in mixed mode. Their system is optimized to work in the park but 50 or so miles outside might be a stretch to hear. I really didn't hear them until Hwy 2 on Amtrak using a Astro Saber around Essex and then it was choppy.

The 197 will overload on VHF using an outside antenna under certain conditions. Try using the ATT while on that antenna. You should not have that problem on UHF.
