You won't be happy. All currently available, digital capable scanners,have
the same issue with Detroit, and Genesee County, and their simulcast setup on MPSCS. Bill Crocker "no one" wrote in message . com...

A25 Genesee Co. MI was Uniden BC796D
Dear Bill N8JOS:
An alternative to using the Genesee County control channel (with attendant distortion) is to use the Owosso control channel (if you are on the west side), a Saginaw control channel (if you are up north), or the Holly control channel (if you are in the south part of the county). Each of the near-by systems has much reduced distortion and "carries" most of the Genesee County traffic. If one is in Burton, I do not know what will work. I am using a BCD396T with a RS 800 MHz (whip) antenna. Regards, Mac -- "no one" wrote in message . com... Bill Crocker wrote: You won't be happy.

Uniden BC796D
Something weird is going on. On Radio Reference, in the Michigan forum,
they're suddenly able to receive Detroit's Site #701 on Radio Shack scanners, but none of the Uniden models...so they say. I'm still looking for facts, as it's just a few claiming this right now. Go back and look over the post. Tell them what you've been though with yours. Bill Crocker "no one" wrote in message . com...

Uniden is aware of the problems associated with the Detroit #701 system, and
claims a fix is in the works. Not sure how long it will take. Bill Crocker "Bill Crocker" wrote in message . .. Something weird is going on.

Dear Bill N8JOS (aka "No One"):
The APCO 25 digital system (which is what is being used in Michigan) will not sound like (have the frequency fidelity nor amplitude smoothness) of an FM system. (at least not when listened to on the available lower cost radios.) The digital system is, well, digital and is quantized at a none-too-fast rate. In short, the "new" system does not sound like the systems of old. Fortunately, humans are able, if they are willing, to understand less than faithful reproductions of the human voice. My students once produced a two bit quantization of human speech. It was not clear, but it was understandable. In the early days of the use of SSB, some people had difficulty in understanding the signals. I have long observed that some people are much better at accommodating to less than perfect reproductions than other people. I speculate that you may be one of the few for whom signals must be clear in order to be satisfactory. In time, lower cost receivers will become better. Stay tuned. 73 Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A. "no one" wrote in message . com... Here is the response I got From the HEAD person of The GENESEE COUNTY 911 Headquarters .. He even includes his e-mail address Mr. Turner from Michigan Frequency Coordination referred you to me as he seems to be unable to satisfy you with his detailed and accurate response. Yes, we do have a new 800 MHz system in Genesee County and we are being listened to successfully by hundreds of citizens and all news groups. We have nothing to "hide" as you insinuate but you need better equipment which can be purchased at Radio Shack and several other outlets. If you are really an active Amateur Radio Operator you should have friends able to tell you this. I have also included a website that might help you. http://www.geocities.com/tomcat4680/ Have a good day, Lloyd Fayling Director Genesee County 911 I take it that NO one but I was having problems with the Genesee county system ! and The Radio Shack pro2096.. By the way, I donnot have a 2096 anymore, I turned it in for a REFUND.. it took Lloyd 3 weeks to respond.. I got my Radio Shack Refund from Texas 2 WEEKS ago!

Stay tuned. 73 Mac N8TT I am Not Talking about The AUDIO SOUND..( fidelity ) I am refering to the FACT that EVERY other Word is Heard on the System. It doesnot make sense to have a system where if a SENTENCE spoken is 20 words long and all the system rebroadcast is 12 of those words . The TRANSMISSIONS donnot Make any Sense . Example. I am Chasing a Blue Pontiac on I-75 The words Heard on the Pro2096 would be am a pontiac 75 I never hear the words I / Chasing / a/ Blue / on/ 1- It Was chopping off WORDS I tried win96 I had the Scanner for over a Month. Radio Shack Repair in Buffalo,Ny Had the 2096 for a week on that time . Thats where the TECH said He was when he Called me and SAID, THAT THE PRO2096 ISNOT compatible with SIMULCAST APCO 25 System in Genesee county Needless to say.. I DONNOT have That Scanner anymore . Radio Shack sent me My $450.00 Back |
