Hi;
I have noticed that a lot of the CSX radios produce very low audio on the VX-150 that I am using as a scanner. NJT trains usually come in much louder, and some CSX trains do, but I am curious as to how the RR employees hear the transmissions if the modulation level is so low. Of course, if I wear my headphones, as I believe engineers / conductors do while operating their locomotives, it is easier to hear the aduio, but it is still much lower on CSX than on NJT.
Any ideas?
