Stockton

[ca01]

Looking to see if there is someone in the Stockton area that I can bounce some questions off. Maybe we can turn it into a meeting if some people would like. I am not new to scanner but I am having some problem and looking for idea how to try to fix them.

Sorry I wish I could help. I lived in that area and my mom scan the frequencies in Stockton in the early 70s. Unfortunately I can’t help you now.

I am in the Sacramento area but monitor Stockton from here. Not sure what kind of questions you have. City PD & Fire both on 450MHz UHF P25 in the clear.

I can hear them but for some reason my bar showing the strength is showing one and two bar and I am right outside of downtown. I have had the problem for over 2 years. I have tried a couple of other antennas with the same showing. I take the radio out of the area and I get full bars. I have the same with the co depts. too

Could the problem just be the signal strength meter? Does it sound scratchy or is there full quieting? Is it a hand-held scanner? Some are notorious for the wire breaking inside the scanner between the antenna connector and the PCB.

It is desktops and handhelds. It is all the radios that I have that do this.

You said you have tried other antennas, are these outside antennas or indoors?
If outside, how is your coax? If inside, do you live in a stucco house?
