[Scan-DC] Well written newspaper article, no?

[Scott, KB3JQQ]

Any digital radio is choppy and spotty on the Baltimore County multicast P25 system.
Too many reflections and multiple signals cause havoc on the decoder here. I'm using
a beam pointed at the tower on a 197 and that picks up 99.9% of the time. My 96,
106 & 800 all get choppy and spotty depending on where I am and 1 foot makes a
difference. I have a RS 800MHz antenna on all 3 portables.

>> Yes, it can.

>> Its radio was imperfect technology and needed improvements and wouldn't necessarily work with Harris RF communication systems.
