It could also be another source of intereference in teh radio spectrum. Some fire services and harbor I believe also use Lo-band. Avalon Fire, for example, broadcasts on channel 46.36.sp1989 wrote:I have noticed similar effects on my HF receiver as of late. Wonder if it is related to solar activity? I did not hear anything like that on the CHP freqs at my QTH.

Re: problems recieving Riverside CHP
The interference on low band could be from almost anywhere, not just in CA. That is why I said solar activity my play a hand. I have heard some extreme DX skip coming in the last week or so. That is why you will never see a trunking system on low band VHF, as you have inquired about in the past.. For exmple, I heard a station in Uruguay talking to one in Dallas, TX, sounded like it was right in the neighborhood.

Not to mention that there was that partial solar eclipse yesterday.sp1989 wrote:The interference on low band could be from almost anywhere, not just in CA.

Re: problems recieving Riverside CHP
Have you tried using CTCSS squelch to eliminate the problem? I run CTCSS on CHP Turquoise and notice what sounds like out of phase simulcast, but in the recording here most of the noise sounds like a co-channel user.

Also try to change your squelch setting. Uniden considers squelch to be a gate, so turn the knob until just after the hissing stops.CQPSK wrote:Have you tried using CTCSS squelch to eliminate the problem?

Re: problems recieving Riverside CHP
I live up high in Riverside City and rarely have an issue listening to CHP- Riverside, however over the past three weeks, the audio sounds really bad. It almost sounds like there are transmitting on a frequency one step away. its odd that this only happens on my scanner at home. Normally the audio in my car doesn't have that same issue even when mobile.
Re: problems recieving Riverside CHP
If you don't live high enough that might a possible cause. When you "rise above" the radio tower you can hear more clearly. That is why you don't seem to have a problem in the car.otterpop wrote:I live up high in Riverside City and rarely have an issue listening to CHP- Riverside, however over the past three weeks, the audio sounds really bad.
