Safe-T

[eaf1956]

Living in Vanderburgh County I wanted to be able to receive the Evansville Post tower on SAFE-T. Being that my house in way SOUTH almost to Kentucky I never could get a decent signal from the Post which is up NORTH near I 64. I tried a DISCONE and a RS VHF/UHF antenna but they didn't work well. Actually, I got a better signal from EVANSVILLE Post with the back of set antenna that came with the scanner. Thought I was going to have to settle for Henderson, KY tower and Marrs Center tower as they were the 2 towers I could receive. The HAM STATION let me borrow a cell phone yagi which was for the 800 Mhz range and I tried it out. Now, I can pick up the Post tower and at night sometimes I get a control signal from the Gibson Co tower (Not reliable though) Thought being a YAGI, I'd lose the other two towers but they seem to still be reliable although MARRS Center is reduced in signal strength. The next step I think I will do is try combining a VHF/UHF antenna with the Yagi to see how running 2 antenna on one scanner works out. So far though I like the yagi as I get traffic on the POST Tower that isn't on the other 2 towers (like PIKE Co, Gibson Co, etc)

I live near Angel Mounds and the post tower is a stretch for me also. I receive it ok, but that's because I have a 60ft tower with a beam antenna & a PAR MON 3. Also because of the coax length and number of scanners attached I use a Stridsberg Active Multi-coupler. At night and early mornings I have received as far as Paoli and even Terre Haute. How do you have KSP setup in your scanner. Have you tried P25 Single-Freq Trunk System setup. It works ok for me and you can see the radio id's.

I don't monitor KSP on the Evansville FEED...That is a seperate scanner doing the Henderson, KY feed. For KSP I pick up POST 16 A-1 and B-1 the strongest so that is all I monitor for KSP. And that scanner is a 996T which doesn't do UNIT ID's. 60 Ft tower WOW I need one. lol One of these days I really plan on putting this one tower up....

I live behind Day School (North Stockwell Rd.) I can get the post and Henderson at about = strength on my duck. I can not generally get Marrs tower. With my Safe-T radio, It prefers the affiliate with the State Post when I'm at home.

I can not hear the KSP system with the scanner at my house.

So do you pick up the Scalesville Tower in WARRICK Co?

Not generally on the scanner. My XTS 5000 has never (that know of) affiliated with it.

My EFJ 51 SL ES has when I force it, but it reverts back to the post.
