Greetings Clive! I believe what Mike was referring to is that on the
inside of your scanner where the antenna comes in you may well find
that the connection from the coil or board no longer is connected to
the input of the antenna. I have found that the problem on many a
scanner others thought were gone. It is an easy fix if that is it in
most cases. It people connect and disconnect or jiggle the antenna it
can cause them to break the connection. If resoldering is required and
you are not into soldering it might be good to get someone to show you
how to do it. A glob of loose solder on a circuit board can cause more
problems than you now have. Have a great week! Jon.
