The best defense is to program 114.8 PL. I see it Peru PD is listed as with and without PL. You should still use 114.8 PL The one without is a talkaround likely used for close range comms which you probably couldn't hear most of the time.

bighammer, the FD/EMS is very close in frequency to the PD. Unfortunately, the 355N doesn't have the ability to use PL/DPL to block the annoying signal.
I don't know if there is an Attenuator, it's a setting that cuts the signal down. If there is, activate it for that frequency.
HTH,
Larry

Just so there is no misunderstanding, the BC355 is an old scanner that does not have the ability to program a PL. I was not aware of that until Larry mentioned it. Your options are very limited with that scanner to reduce the interference.

It's only 3 years old. It was made to monitor the narrow band VHF frequencies. It didn't include the PL/DPL like the 15X. The 355N was an upgrade from the 355C.
