Re: Spectra vs MCS2000 VHF RX sensitivity

Doesn't seem that anyone has answered the OP's original question about the VHF Astro or Analog spectra. They use the same receiver preselector. I read an article on repeater builder that R3206 on the preselector needs to be bridged with a 15 ohm resistor. This combined with the existing 68 ohm resis...

Re: XTS3000. Can't get it to scan.
