I have been having trouble picking up W-B radio since last week.
I never had a problem before, but now no luck. (I am in Mt.top).
Any others having a problem?
Is a repeater down?

I don't normally monitor them. but summer and leaves of the trees diminish the signals. I am from Mtop also, and the signal has to come over the "mountain" and back down into the "valley" of Mtop. I usually get them, but with a fairly weak signal. PD is coming in fine. I'll let you know about FD today |

Thanks Capt.
I never thought about the trees and leaves, I am wondering if raising my outdoor antenna would help?
Do base units receive better than hand held units? I use a Uniden SC 230 it is however connected to an outdoor antennae (Radio Shack , it is a ground plane design, I do not remember the model)?

Do yo recall what coax you are using and how long it is? How high you have it now? No I use both of those myself. Heard WB fire once yesterday...very weak. I think is is the time of year. |
