Try attenuating the active control freq.

From RR Wiki on simulcast systems:

Attenuation of all the signals sometimes helps. This is of course due to the fact that if you attenuate the signals you possibly lose the ability to hear the interfering signal from the multipath source"

When you figure it out please let me know. I gave up a long time ago because no matter what I tried, the majority of what I heard was broken very badly.

Those were the first P25 scanners ever introduced... They are not made for CQPSK issues.

Rdale, Thanks. I will leave the Pro-96 and the Pro-2096 they way they are set up to monitor safe-t as they do receive that very well with no problems in my Command Center.
