It seems worse on UHF, where all you can hear is the carrier and the audio seems non existent, but on the wx channels you can hear audio, but almost so distorted as unable to understand.
I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts that you may have. Thank you.... Claude WB4WHH
You did all that work and yet you don't know how to use spell check?

Maybe the scanner is junk and needs to be replaced.
How old is this scanner?
internet says it was made in the late 80's...
Where is your location?
