I recently received an SDS100 and it works amazing in other areas, (despite my last one I had in 2021), somehow I keep having reception issues with Austin Fire Dispatch. When I monitor other cities like San Antonio, it has little to no issues when receiving an alert for a call, but with Austin Fire, it rarely gets the whole transmission, let alone I'm lucky to hear the full transmission, either cuts in half way, or late. Is anyone who monitors Austin Fire, or any frequencies in... Read more View article »
