Simulcast problem

[RoninJoliet]

I'm using a RS 197 in a good simulcast area on a P25 System , since the leaves have dropped from the tree's dropouts have increased some. I changed from my outside antenna to a rubber duck and it helped a lot but has anyone adjusted any of the settings in the "F+Glob" settings to improve the situation. GRE in the old days put out a explanation of all the settings which I still have but not sure which ones would help if any,.....TY

you might try attenuation as that cuts the incoming signal by 20db or to 1/100th.
and do the rabbit ear antenna dance of years ago.
up, down, sideways (yes, that makes it directional) and then move it around.
i used a uniden 325 and eventually got a SDS100 for the real fix.

My 436HP sports a similar antenna (Comet Miracle Baby). It works in certain simulcast areas but not others where the cell clusters are more "tightly packed"

Or you can turn stock rubber duckies into stubbies.
