When using the internet, I get terrific coverage on both sides of the communication that my expensive scanner does not receive....hills, etc. etc. and I do not us an aux. antenna. But the internet connection solves it, but only for the primary dispatch channel. Once units switch over to other assigned channels, we loose it. Any thoughts... I listen to nothing other than Lakes region Fire....and those folks do a fabulous job !

They only broadcast channel 1 as received off Mt Belknap. You will notice, when they talk, for instance, to Strafford units, the internet reception will be bad, but the dispatcher hears it, that is because he is using the Blue Job antenna. For years Belknap was all we had, so its not all that shabby.
