I have a Pro-95. I have a couple of Mot and Edacs trunking systems in the
region. These are Police trunks in a town about 15 miles from here, and
another town about 20 miles away. I am running off of an antenna warehouse
super discone. If I scan between 851.0 and 868.9875 I do not pick up any
strong repeaters, but otherwise I have no problem receiving as far at 40
miles away on conventional frequencies....much further on Ham. What would be
the normal expected transmit range on an 800mhz trunked system/repeater?
Since I can't seem to pull in any strong repeaters, that should tell me that
I need a better antenna, an 800mhz specific antenna, or to tune the discone
somehow. Is my thought process valid? Any ideas?
