Default Can you recommend a scanner where squelch works?

In article 6aed6992-1f7e-41a7-8677-cedec48f6612

Hi - I've gone through five scanners and was wondering if someone can
recommend one before I run out of money. On all of these scanners, I
try and set the squelch so that it skips unused frequencies. However,
when a used frequency is found, the squelch chops out most of the
audio. If I turn the squelch all the way down, I can hear all of the
audio. I try and use the least amount of squelch possible, but it
still chops the audio so you can't understand anything. Needles to
say, I'm ticked off that devices could be designed so poorly.

Thanks in advance.


I've owned over 50 scanners going back over 35 years, and only two had
any squelch issues. One had a defect, the other was just a bad design.
I think the problem is you, to be honest.
