Just looking for some input as I am a new G4 user, my state(CT) uses a simulcast trunking system I have the Amplified speaker and that has greatly improved reception I have full scale on 2 sites, However 1 site that I will listen to sometime still comes in with choppy audio I got the RSSI down to 90+/- from 125 or so the only thing that I can possibly think of is from this one site the simulcast distortion is just to great, I live halfway between the two sites that share allot of the same voice freqs, the primary site i listen to come in clear as a bell, both site carry the same state services i am interested in listening too but the site that comes in choppy does carry some of the FD I would like to listen too, I know these radios really can't be adjusted I am not really interested in buying a more expensive antenna at this time as I really don't think strength of the signal is the problem

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

The G4 is designed to only listen to one site at a time, one system at a time. If you are trying to listen to two sites at once I'm not sure what you are getting as the pager can't do that. Also, if this is a simulcast system all towers will share identical frequencies, but according to what you said they aren't identical.
Perhaps if you share the system with us we will be better able to help you @W1JOP

CLMRS site 27 is the primary site I listen too site 26 will carry all the local stuff, the way I have the radio set up is I imported all the state sites because the radio will default to the stronger signal I have a seperate knob set for site 26 only, and everything even the state services are choppy

In my experience it doesn't always lock on to the strongest signal, it locks on to the first acceptable signal it finds. On the ones I have multiple sites in, it usually doesn't lock on to the signal I think it should but rather the one it thinks it should. The best solution is to put each site in a single knob position and go at it like that.
Yes you can set it up and it will roam when traveling but again, it may not lock on to the site you think it will but rather the site it finds first that has an acceptable signal.

I agree with your conclusion that the signal strength has nothing to do with it. It will stop on the first acceptable signal. I live close to the intersection of 4 simulcast sites on the same system. I have separate Z/C’s for each simulcast to insure I’m on the correct site. If I put all 4 in one Z/C, it will typically stop on the lowest of the 4 CC’s.
