I bought a BC 220 XLT, with the rubber antenna that came with it, several
years ago at the NASCAR track to hear the races.

I have had 2 other scanners in the past, and they were able to get a good 30
miles minimum and normally much more.


Are you using a freshly charged battery pack?
Are you still getting the same amount of use in between charges?

Check the antenna and the antenna jack for a bad connection.
Make sure the antenna's center pin is still intact.
Inspect the center contact in the antenna jack to see if it
has expanded and is no longer making good contact.
