On the outdoor antenna, you may be receiving more than one tower.
If the P25 system is simulcast, receiving more than one tower is not good unless the scanner is designed to handle it.
ok i do not understand
I have a 536

Mr Longfeather do you still live in Chester ILL
How close do you live to the Prison By the River Bridge?
The Prison has a 800 Analog Trunking system that my by overloading the 535 if you are losing the ILL P25 State System and or MO P25 State System.

What P25 frequencies are you monitoring? Looks like your municipality & county are primarily analog?
we have all different kinds here the county is still on the old kind of channel . All the state stuff is on star.com But the prison is scrambled . Have not been about to hear them for a bout 5 years now .
What can i do if it over loading it .

attenuation will cut the signals to 1/100 of the original, or you could just use the antenna that works.
what kind would i need to handle all this channels ?

Using a outside Antenna would let the Prison overload the scanner frontend the only thing is to use a tunable trap to to block the Prison but that would also block Starcom and MoWins signals. Like posted above your best bet may just be use the Factory Antenna.
agreed. This may be a situation where more antenna is not necessarily more better. If your factory attenna worked, and you heard what you wanted, don't change.
