Yep, usually monitor MPSCS Tower 202 and Macomb 219 (amongst other stuff).
My BC796D's really choked on 219. Lot's of garbled transmissions. I picked up a couple of PRO-2096's recently and find they do much better, despite a little occasional paging intermod. I'm getting at least 95% of transmissions from 219 perfect on the 2096 units.
What works best for me is a little omni-directional 800 MHz cellular antenna I have up on my tower at about 30 feet, fed with RG-6 quad-shield coax. Additionally, I have an inline attenuator and have attenuation enabled on the 2096 too.
Go figure. I get Detroit 701 better on the 796D than I can Macomb 219.
