Does anyone know if the Summit P25 system uses lower power or some other issue that might explain why I can't pick them up unless I'm close by? Seems like I have to be at least within an 8-10 mile radius of Barberton/Norton/Fairlawn to hear any traffic from any of them. I figured it was because since they were smaller cities, their coverage didn't need to extend as far but the maps here on RR show a 20 mile coverage from the summit P25 tower sites and I have to be well inside the inner half of the circles to pick anything up on my mobile. I'm even within the shown range at my house about 18 miles away and still can't get anything on my base antenna either. (D130J 30' up).
I understand line of sight and all that but with the MarcsIP25 and Summit 800 sites I monitor, I can receive pretty much all of those towers no problem, regardless if I'm mobile or home, with many being much farther away than the Summit P25 towers in the Barberton area.
Thanks
