one more time on 436 reception would a wireless router cause an issue? I did install a new one I cannot determine any reason 3 scanners stopped receiving signals thank you

Yes a wifi router will wreak havoc on a reciever or transciever. I keep mine as far away from a router as possible!

To find out if your router is the problem, simply unplug it for a while and see if the problem stops while it is unplugged.

the router reply makes sense not sure where to put it to reduce interference with scanners??

 

[jonwienke]

As far from their antenna(s) as possible.

if i still worked in suffern it would be easier

you did click up on the welcome message and sent nothing back to me.
it is where you go to sign into the thread, it should be blue now and say private messages. just click it again.

I called scanner master & they suggested tuning the trunk system as conventional.I am now receiving a signal.Does anyone know if nyc has a repeater down or if something in rockland county or a tower repeater changed etc? thanks

 

[joerobb23]

dont understand what you want me to reply

 

[wtp]

i keep getting my message sent back.

Or post the suggestions to the thread so that everyone can benefit.

ok

400 and especially 800 start to act like light waves.
anything in the direct way blocks the signal.
when the tv signals went to digital i needed two antennas connected together to see one particular channel.
if a car or truck came down the road i got nothing, it is called the cliff effect, it just drops off.
i did not need a doorbell if someone stopped by.
so i would say big machinery in the way or steel reinforced cement plopped around would reflect radio waves.
that is above ground. also any new buildings around and in between you and NYC ?

the other thing is to get an outside antenna as was mentioned.
oh and the way i connected the antennas together was with a tv splitter in reverse.
and tv antennas work for scanners, the tv bands are just outside scanner ones.
another thing is to try a mobile antenna inside.
if it works fine, if not use it on the car.

and joe you can look under your private messages anytime and see this.
they stay until you delete them.
