Awesome I will fire up Freescan and change it to Narrowband and see how that goes, its currently set uo “Auto” I have worked out how to tune it.

It’s a great wee scanner very clear and not bad pick up :)

Cheers for the help will update how I get on soon :)

Fire should be on FM-N.  If they sound quiet you may have your radio set to wide rather than narrow like it should be.

Apparently the 396XT has the ability to store volume offsets - this might be cause your problem if incorrectly set - or you might be able to use it to remedy your problem.

I'm not familiar with how to drive this radio but I'm sure someone here will be.

So I assume Fire are on fm-w?

Hi Sam,

You need to match your FM-W / FM-N setting to the transmission.

If you listen to a narrow band transmission with your radio set to FM-W then it will sound quiet.  Also if you listen to a wide band transmission with your radio set to FM-N it will sound loud/distorted.

Sorry I think I have asked for this before, I am having issues with Auckland Fire being rather quiet on the mentioned scanner but ambo are rather loud. I have looked online but had no luck in finding info in regards to this.

Is anyone able to help, I have an external aerial which is more tuned for ambo freq but does pick up fire.

Cheers

Sam
