I live in SW Michigan in a county that uses simulcast, the "Berrien County Simulcast" to be exact. I upgraded to the SDS for simulcast scanning (knowing it was better for this) in another county originally and it works fine. Why does the BCD996P2 only get 5% of the reception that the SDS gets? It should be better than that - it used to be when compared to the SDS for the other... Read more View article »
12-28-25 SDS 100 Reception/Behavioral Problem I live in MA in Barnstable County. I'm trying to monitor some P-25 conventional frequencies from nearby Plymouth and Bristol Counties. My SDS is connected to a roof... 12-28-25, 21:38 pm I live in MA in Barnstable County. I'm trying to monitor some P-25 conventional frequencies from nearby Plymouth and Bristol Counties. My SDS is connected to a roof mounted Diamond Discone antenna. I am using favorites lists to monitor from home. I monitor several "local" lists without issue but if I include the Plymouth and Bristol lists the scanner just will not pick these up. The only way I can receive these 2 Counties from my favorites is to monitor/scan them alone with no other lists. I... Read more View article »

That may be coming to an end this spring as the tropo season begins. Salem County is rolling out its new system and is presently using the same frequency as Somerset for its primary CC. Dozens of times a year 700 MHZ systems from South Jersey (and further) propagate into Somerset. As a result, if these systems stay configured as they are, I expect the CC to start...
