I used to have a Pro - 37, and I had problems with corrosion at the
antenna base,( in side the scanner at the place that the wires that
connect to the circuit board) and also corrosion on the pins where the
two circuit boards attach to each other. The local FM maybe
"overloading" your scanner "front end", this causes distorted
reception, but no reception of the frequencies that you are tuned to.
Are you still getting a frequency readout on the LCD? So try to see
if you have any corrosion (like I had). If you do not want to take
the scanner apart yourself, you may be able to get a radio repair shop
to do it. If no corrosion is found, then maybe someone else on this
newsgroup can help with better suggestions.

Anyone out there help with suggestions?

All I get is some bleed-over from an FM broadcast station. Cannot
even get NOAA weather (162.40), where their tower is on top of
adjacent mountain, maybe 2 to 3 miles away!

Did my front-end die or what?

NG on local HAM repeaters either. I always was able to get both with
mo problem!

I did reset with internal button, before that nothing would come on at
all (and yes I have fully charged NIHM's installed (is the NIMH
voltage too low?)

Also tried 9V wall wart, bleed-over came in stronger. It almost seems
that the frequencies are gone.
