I have a Uniden BC346XT with the standard rubber ducky and live about 1.5 miles as the crow flies from LIRR's DIVIDE tower. However, I only can hear approximately 50% of the tower's transmissions and no trains calling in the tower except when they are right in front of it in the station. Even then, it's very spotty and barely comprehensible. User Train538 reports in another post that he can hear the same tower from SW CT, at least 20 miles away using a BC72XLT and its rubber ducky. Why the difference? Any way to improve this?
