OK here is my stupid question. I have been around radios since I was a kid but some bugs I am still working out with the 197 and mainly as a mobile rig. I am monitoring Indep Mo. They are a 700mhz P25 system. They have about 6 towers. As far as I can tell there is only 1 control channel. I have checked that at various points around town and only the 1 active on a consistent basis and 90% or better most of the time. Does the multi-site setting mean more than 1 tower??? Indep is strong and consistent but I do get conversation drop outs and turns to a garbled mess until that unit or radio unkeys and not sure if its not syncing or follwing the system correctly buts sounds like they are underwater. It doesn't sound like encryption or digital signal like I am used to. KCMO does this too so I think it's the scanner. Not a problem or defective unit, just we are the guinea pigs with all the new technology. A good antenna makes all the difference but have tried that with being mobile, at home and sitting in the same place mobile. Not sure how to tweak the settings with this new stuff. Doesnt matter what settings I have on/off still similar problems. I am impressed with all it has to do but not 100% satisfied with my purchase unitl I know who and what is to blame. I am still learning...
