S5 here, occasional deep fades.  Good audio, thumping bass.  'Keep on Loving You' by REO Speedwagon @ 2040.

 -- still S5 @ 2147, with more frequent, but less deep, fades.

This is one I have not heard in ages. Very tough with the splatter from Radio Rebelde on 5025. I remember how excited I was when I first heard this one, probably back in the early 80s, and got a QSL.

I remember enjoying this one back in the 80's as well, imagining how nice it would be to visit a tropical isle.  I don't remember any qrm back then though.  How long has R. Rebelde been on 5025??

Lots of digital here, plus analog and digital trunking. The state and local city police have both gone digital. Lexington is still analog but are scheduled to convert to digital soon.
I got a Bearcat BCD996XT last Christmas that does a decent job with digital and trunking.

I still keep the PRO-2006 on, filled mostly with Milcom.  There is a major training area to the north of me that used to have a lot of activity.  It has died down a lot since most of them (and their aircraft) have been deployed over the last 10 years.  I still hear 2 or 3 'dogfights' per week, but most of the training exercises occur while I am at work.

My 2004 developed the bad solder connections after about a year.  I went in and soldered all the connections (I had more patience back then).  Lasted about another 2 years and started having problems again.  Never could get it going after that, so bought a PRO-2006 and have not had any problems with it.  I have done the speed mods, and a few others.  No complaints about that scanner.

3/4 acre is enough room to try a lot of antennas.  I recommend keeping the antenna away from the house.  Connect the antenna to a good balun and use coax for the run to the house.  A couple of 100' wires in a vee shape laying on the ground (or in the tree-tops) can do wonders.
