Default Regency R1080 Distorted Audio Problem

I have a Regency R1080 scanner. It scans good, it programs good, but
when it stops on a station you can not hardly understand the audio, I
have replaced the output audio IC chip LM386 and all of the capacitors
around it, plus the speaker. That made no difference. 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?


Nothing wrong with the spelling, maybe you need better glasses


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?


Maybe you could have just not answered if you didn't have any real
answers for the guy

Some people like keeping old gear going
