While listening to my BC346XT, most of the time there is an interruption during the communications. This interruption is about every second to 2 seconds, cutting off the the conversation, making it extremely difficult to understand what anyone is talking about. What causes this, and can I stop it?

You probably have your priority on. It will check you priority channels every 2 sec. Go into Menu, to Priority, and turn off.
Some of the newer scanners like the 436HP/536HP have a Priority DND (do not disturb) feature that will allow priority monitoring, but will not interrupt when you actually are listening to a channel or talk group.

That's exactly what it sounds like, I've checked, what I think is all the priority settings, they all seem to be in the off position. I'm going to reset my scanner, & reprogram. This time I will not touch any priority settings, will get back to you.
Thank you

Ok, before I reset, and reprogrammed the scanner, I found the closest call priority on. Correcting this priority to my desired off position, seems to have done the job!
WooooooooHoooooooooo!
Thanks!
