You have to be pretty nearby to hear it. Anything more than a mile away from the stadium you are pushing the limits of reception. During game days, its a fairly active system. I have noticed some simplex usage on the other 900MHz frequencies they use to use, as well.
Thanks I figured that I may have been a lower power system. Their old system was faint and I live less than 2 miles from the park and digital does no favors.
Just a follow up. I took the scanner in the car to the game last night just to see if I could monitor this system and eliminate doubt that I programmed it wrong.
I programmed it as conventional for this and when I got into the parking lot it started coming in with various coms mostly maintenance and some minor security.
Yes it is indeed a very low power digital system.
