KBUR changes

[bleyton]

Dave passed along some comments to me about the Burbank feed that were sent to him by a listener.  As a result I have made a few tweaks to the channels I am scanning.

I have locked out the following channels:

121.5    Emergency/Guard
122.95  Unicom
130.05  Class C

I added back one channel that I had previously locked out due to a stuck mic.

124.6  Socal Approach/Departure

Hopefully these changes will be an improvement.  Listener feedback is welcome.

I've been listening to the feed since I made the changes, and it seems that 124.6 keeps getting stuck.  I tried turning the squelch up, but that doesn't help much.

Does anyone know what is happening that causes the noise on 124.6?  If I can't figure out a way to get around it, I guess I'll have to lock it out again.  That would be a shame, since it seems to be a pretty active channel.

I was listening today and yesterday and 124.600 seems fine from my location. I didn't hear a stuck mic. It may be a local problem Brian but I'm not sure what it would be.

 You may be getting an RF image/or "birdie" on your scanner.   It could be internal to your scanner on that particular freq, or if it's outside interference it could be from a nearby electronic device.  Example:  Directv boxes emit a dead carrier right on KWHP's freq of 135.000, very annoying!  CAT 5 Ethernet cables also emit carriers on the 6 meter band too,  very annoying when listening to CHP freqs. 
   Try moving your scanner or antenna or simply putting on some snap-on type RF chokes on your coax, you can get them from Radio Shack or (even cheaper) at All Electronics in North Hollywood.
   I get SOCAL on all 5 approach freqs fine from my location, have been contemplating hosting a "SOCAL approach" only feed for the valley, since the airports are covered pretty well now.
