What's the problem you're having with the existing setup?
Being totally unfamiliar with this particular scanner - he "might" have a
power supply issue of sorts. I had a radio come in the shop once with bulbs
that kept blowing out - a previous tech did nothing other than replace the
blown bulbs - three times - without trying to corrrect the issue. I placed a
resistor in line and no more blown bulbs. The surge when turning the set
on - apparently was more than the bulbs wanted to see - even though the
readings from the power supply were "as spec'd". The set worked flawlessly
otherwise and since. THAT set was the only one I had seen of that model that
had that issue. I had known many who had the same model with no issues.
That could be a simple repair - without having to do any real mods.........
Just my 2 cents
