So only the SDS series radios are affected by cell tower transmissions while standing under the tower? Nice generalization.You will probably not see that using other scanners than the SDS series. To get more or less perfect reception of simulcast systems you have to sacrifice other performancies in SDS scanners. The perfect scanner have not yet been produced.

Is that in peak hold, or free run?Here is what I pick up from a cell tower about 250yds away. This is at the end of a 75ft run of coax so the signal is well above 0dBm out of the tower mounted preamp.

My Whistler 668 just gives up on 700-800 MHz when I am within a mile or so of a cell tower. I never connected the dots until I was trying to monitor a analog 800 MHz smartnet system and heard it with my own ears. The noise floor just rose until the point the thing just stopped receiving.So only the SDS series radios are affected by cell tower transmissions while standing under the tower? Nice generalization.
