The squelch on both radios is set in the middle (5 out of 10)

Ok, I'll give it a test. The antenna is pretty close to the roof at the moment, definitely less than 15 inches.

I guess that makes sense. I can get stronger signals, but the weaker ones that I'm picking up from the car, are low/staticky and if I back the car up a bit it becomes very difficult to hear. So it would make sense that even the slightest loss in signal strength in the cable at the house would have an affect. What's the best way/tool to use to test signal loss in a cable? Can it be done with the Surecom Sw-102?

It's 50 feet - Bolton400 (LMR400 equivalent)

Why am I able to hear multiple conversations on multiple channels from my car parked in the driveway but not from my house, when my house antenna is much higher (about 25 ft)? Both radios are the same and programmed the same way. The antenna on my car is the Luiton 32” Whip Antenna for GMRS and the one on the roof of my house is Ed Fong's DBJ-UHF GMRS base station antenna. I transmitted via channel 7 (simplex) and communication was clear in both directions. I tried swapping the radios, and again the radio in the car picked up multiple conversations, but nothing was being picked up from inside.
