I have a Whistler TRX-2 installed in my vehicle. I have it programed for P25 digital on 700mhz and VHF frequencies. I have all the sites selected. On many of the 700mhz sites, I am receiving from some distance away, as much as 200 miles. At some of these sites I am hearing r2d2 audio which tells me that I just could be hearing those locations. I have shut off those locations with just two of the sites activated on 700.
My question, should the scanner just lock on those sites that have the strongest signal, it would seem to me the scanner would lock on to a signal located 1 mile from me rather then 200 miles away?
Seems that shutting off sites is contrary to what I should be doing....
I don't believe I have been experiencing any conditions of ducting or anything like that.
Ideas or suggestions?
