What is the frequency?
If the handheld is connected to the Diamond antenna does it also fail to receive the desired frequency?
Do you have an FM broadcast (88-108MHz) blocking filter in the coax feed?

Yes, I was about to start with that, just checking to see if there are any other ideas as well. I can start throwing breakers room by room, I just have to figure out what to do when I get to the room where the scanner is, etc. I suppose I'll connect a handheld direct to the antenna line when I do that...Did you do any of the suggestions in the other thread?
Yup. The drawback of barn door(wide band) receivers. Zero selectivity, and susceptible to front end overload.Just for fun I sat in my car in the driveway with my handheld scanner and stubby antenna. Both these frequencies came in good. Just based on signal strength, it seems like 152.6000 is closer, or stronger anyway.
Not strong enough to effect reception. I think the only reason I’m being effected on my base station is because of the height / gain of the antenna so it’s really receiving the pager signals strong.
Might seem crazy but maybe I need to downgrade my roof antenna….
I run a Broadcastify feed for my rural county and live in the mountains, it makes a huge difference for me to have an outside antenna.you would have to store it to attenuate it.
and you probably don't want it stored anyway.
do you really NEED an outside antenna ?
