Hi, all.
I'm monitoring Illinois Starcom21, specifically trying listen to Plainfield PD Talkgroups 1001-1006. I'm having a little success, but it seems that I'm missing a lot of traffic, and what I get is garbled. Sadly, I can hear a bunch of tollway traffic and other talkgroups real clean and clear, but I dont care about those talkgroups.
Right now I have the correct towers (Will 113, CookSo`02, Dupage101) and have set the modulation to FM and threshold to 6 or 8 depending on the site.
My current theory is that the full detail of the frequency isn't getting into the BCD996T.
Example:
Radioreference shows the first Control Channel for Will County 113 to be 774.30625, but my BCD and ARC996 software are only taking in 774.3062. I can type the last digit in, but it gets truncated by the software.
Queston is: does this matter adn is it the source of my poor reception?
Thanks all,
Eric
