WS-1080 Threshold Settings

[colbrz1319]

I need guidance on setting my site thresholds to enable distant site reception. I have no nearby towers and live in a rural/suburban valley region of N.W. N.J.

A good antenna, preferably outdoor and squelch as low as possible.

SO, What LO and HI settings numbers should be entered to achieve the optimal weak signal reception results in my situation. The antenna and squelch have been dealt with previously, before asking. THANKS.

I do little to no tweaking of the settings on the GRE/Whistler radios -- you either receive the system or you don't.

I live around 25 miles by road from the nearest tower for the KY. state police which is P25, and I have mine set at 55 lo and 75 hi. My scanner is a 1088 and I did adjust the threshold after moving my antenna.
