I bought a WS1080 a couple years ago when Spotsy moved to the current system but I have had little luck receiving anything from my home near Snell. I can usually pick up the State police here but nothing from Spotsy. If I drive a couple of miles from my house towards Thornburg or Livingston I start to hear Spotsy dispatches. A couple of weekends ago I built an 850 MHz J-pole and shoved it about 20 feet in the air but still nothing from Spotsy although the State Police came in a little better. Could I be in that much of a dead zone here that I can't hear the Thornburg tower that is about 5 miles away? My old analog Radio Shack trunk tracker worked great here before the switch. Or could there be a setting on my scanner that has lowered the sensitivity with regards to Spotsylvania? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
