[Scan-DC] Pro651

[Jeff Krauss]

I own several of the GRE PSR500/Pro-106 type radios.  I live in the 
Rockville area and I cannot receive Fairfax transmissions.  The RF 
signal is strong, but Fairfax is a simulcast system, which means that 
there are near-simultaneous transmissions from separate towers that 
interfere with one another at my receiver locations.  There is 
actually one location (Falls Rd and Wootton Pkwy) where I can receive 
Fairfax transmissions, which is evidently shielded from all but one tower.
When I drive over into Virginia, I can usually receive Fairfax just 
fine, probably because signals from one tower are much stronger than 
the others.
I also have a Uniden BCD436HP, and in my experience Uniden has not 
solved the simulcast problem.
