Hi.
I have very recently purchased a UBCD436-PT (Australian version of the BCD436HP) and have noticed the standard aerial is VERY poor at picking up signals, has anybody else also noticed this?
I programmed in about 350 VHF / UHF frequencies plus three 800MHz EDACS sites and was not able to hear very much, to the point that I thought the radio was faulty, I swapped over to another aerial, with the radio in the same location it now works much better and how I would expect. I know that handheld aerials are a compromise but is the standard one really THAT bad?
