I have a BCT8 with a Scantenna located in the Airport Edition of Keyser and pickup just about all WVSP radio traffic. Even with just the factory Uniden antenna I'm able to receive WVSP. What kind of setup do you have?

I hear a lot of WVSP traffic on my 396T with the RS 800MHz antenna. have you tried turning the squelch down some? what about wrong PLs? try no PL and see what you get.
im useing a BC350c and a radio shack car antenna right now but i have the stock and i still dont hear anything.
Mike im not sure how to not put in PLs sorry but any help would be helpfull

FYI, Romney has been very active all afternoon, particularly dispatching Jefferson and Berkely Counties. Maybe they are using a remote repeater for this area???

is the base of the mag mount (I'm guessing it's a mag mount) on something metal for a ground plane?

try moving the antenna. like the kitchen on the refrigerator, to the office on the metal filing cabinet, or get a large (2 or 3lb) coffee can and put the antenna on the bottom of it with it up-side-down. have you tried in the car and drive to high hill?

Dan, is your scanner not receiving anything? Or just not receiving the State Police channels you mentioned? Also, has the radio ever received anything? I guess what I am fishing for is the answer for the question is the radio defective?
Do you have another radio that you could operate in the same location and verify whether you can receive signal?
Trying to ask and help....

do you have another scanner or other type receiver to see if that one will receive? if you have 2, set them both to the same freq and see if they act the same.
also, have you tried the weather freqs?
ok mike i will try that over the weekend and i can pick up the weather channel fine
