I have about 4 months of expereince under my belt with my BCD396XT. I am somewhat inclined in programing my previous BCT8 on my own, but the digital scanner was a new world. I HAD mannaged to figure out this system but unfortunately i'm stummped on this one.
I live within almost eyesight of one of the main repeaters in the area (police, fire, EMS), with signal strength at full 90% of the time with some exception of dead spots in valleys and sutch, the signal was so good that I could use the original ducky antenna with great results. I was working in a machine and at the end of the day noticed that the signal strength was continuously low,1 or 2 bars, even in the areas that were great signal strength before.
I thought that i had maby bumped something by accedent, so, I checked the squelch setting, that was were it should be, lock out of any frequencys, none locked out, I even went far enough to wash all freq out of the scanner and re-enter everything back into the unit and no sucess. I have a digital Motorola type 2 trunked freq's, trunked analog Motorola type 2 freq's, and plain ol' conventioal freq's plugged into my scanner.
I hope this enough info for someone to help me, I can still recieve transmissions but the signal bars are only 1 or 2 max so at least im not dead in the water.
Please help, any suggestions are appreciated!
