911::Fire Apparatus Radio Problem - HELP !

[Guest guest]

We have one apparatus in our county experiencing a problem, and I am hoping that

someone from the list can help out, maybe someone has had a similar problem.

The apparatus in question is a 1994 E-One Hush Pumper, Rear mounted detroit

diesel engine.

The mobile radio in that apparatus is a Motorola MCS 2000 II, using the 512 mhz

band frequencies.

The problem is missed and garbled radio transmissions. It does not seem to

matter whether the unit is mobile or stationary, in pump gear or out. This

problem is specific to this one unit, and there are no other 94 E-one Hush

pumpers in our county.

Any one have any ideas as to the source of the problem here????
