Hello everyone, I solved my intermod problems and would like
to report how i did it. With some luck, what i did might help
out others in this echo.
I just finished my new antenna system on my holidays and all
hell broke loose as far as intermod. My Pro 2006 and 2036 units
would lockup with those fun paging tones. This was because i
went up from 30 to 60 feet with two new high gain antennas and
new low loss coaxial cables.
Now it's my understanding that most intermod problems are from
closeby paging towers. To solve this i needed to locate and
and reduce the strength of the offending signals. I wanted to
buy a filter to solve this problem but didn't have the spare cash!
I decided to play around with my Pro 34 and use its IF stages to
transmit overtop of the offending signal. I located the offending
signal on 140.160 Mhz which was the strongest. I programmed my 34
to 150.860 Mhz and connected both scanners together. This was done
with a BNC T connector and a cable going to the 2006 from the 34.
The Pro 34s stages (10.7 Mhz) was sending a stronge signal on
140.160 Mhz. This reduced the pager signal on my S meter. I have
not heard any intermod since.
If you have a portable scanner and the connectors, try this and
see if it helps you. Find the IF stages of the unit and add it to
the offending frequency ie: 140.160 + 10.7 = 150.860.
