I have a PSR-500 and -600. Recently I've found that my 500 is far outperforming my 600 on some local P25 systems (PSR-600 could not decode the control channel at all).
I decided to investigate further by tuning both scanners with factory antennas to the same 3600 baud control channel which is very close to me. Using Win-500's "Monitor" feature, I was able to look at each scanner's reported signal strength in turn. The PSR-500 was at about signal strength "890" while the PSR-600 was at only "730."
Is it normal for the PSR-600 to have much less signal strength than the PSR-500? Can anyone else let me know what signal strengths they achieve with their PSR-600? I'm thinking there may be some issue that needs repair.
