Scans through freqs but never picks up anything. Squelch (and audio)
works.
I have had this unit for several years - bought it new. Any techs here
that
can tell me what I might check?



A broken antenna lead to the pc board is a good first choice. A blown RF amp
is a second, but I believe some scanners have separate rf amps - so this
may not apply. Also the IF may be defective or some other stage - to not
allow the signal to develop to be fed to the squelch/audio. A bad crystal in
the unit that sets up the receiver could be bad. G.W.
