While out in the wee hours of the morning yesterday (Friday morning), I 
was out doing my paper route with my PRO-96 and stock duck antenna. I 
was able to pick up trunked system sites from Michigan, Ohio, Ontario, 
Canada, and even one site of the Indiana SAFE-T system from Pulaski County.

Mind you, though, that I'm in Ashtabula County, Ohio (Extreme NE Ohio).

While the PRO-96 was hooked up to my outdoor antenna, I was able to pick 
up several distant Ohio MARCS, Michigan MPSCS, Ontario, Canada Fleetnet 
sites. In addition, I even had 2 out of several known sites for the 
Toronto GO Transit system from Toronto Canada.
