[Scan-DC] Pro-106 and DC Fire

[Ed Tobias]

I'm sitting on the ground floor of my house in Derwood (which is squeezed 
between Rockville and Gaithersburg) listening to both DCFD and MPDC on my 
little Pro-96 with an 800 mHz rubber-duckey.  The 800mHz signal from FD is 
stronger than the PD, which tends to break up.  It would probably be fine, 
however, if I used a 460 mHz duckey and they would both be booming in if I 
used an outside antenna.
