396XT Reception Poor

Hey Folks,



I uploaded a config from KevinC via Proscan and the radio does scan. However, the reception is POOR. Have 3 bars on the annoying HFD (Houston Fire Department) robot and then the signal goes away and comes back. I would call the reception choppy. Same thing for HPD.



As the 436's are out of stock I will be listening to the 396XT for a few more days. I checked and it is on the latest firmware. I did change the MFM to FM and it is still POOR.



Any ideas?



Thanks,

Robert A. Ober
