If I have a radio setup as a fixed base, is there any advantage on VIPER to monitoring tower sites/frequencies that are not within the range of my radio/antenna setup?
I had assumed the answer was no, but when I turned on all the sites listed for VIPER I started receiving some traffic for communities over 100 miles away. Back to my real question, is there any reason to have all the sites turned on, or does this just slow down the effective scan rate??
BTW, I'm using an HP-1 extreme with a mag mount mobile antenna for a base antenna.
Thanks in advance for your help!
