Lately I've noticed the SDS100 is starting to hear adjacent signals it never did before. I've never enabled the attenuator before, but I've started to have to turn it on lately, which is a bummer because I listen to a lot of analog traffic.
For example a repeater that is 19.5 miles away from me transmitting on 147.120 is bleeding through on another repeater channel in the SDS100 on 147.380. I feel like a repeater 20 miles away shouldn't be overdriving the scanner to where it needs attenuation turned on. There's a fed frequency 163.9875 that likes to let a NOAA broadcast 162.550 bleed through for another example.
I'm just curious if this is a known problem with the SDS100 or if perhaps during one of the firmware updates something was changed and I didn't notice until now? Or if this is some sort of issue that the scanner has developed and is there a way to fix it?
Thanks everyone!
