Love the scanner. Has many issues as seen on "bug" rports. My old scanner (PRO-197) has a speaker that will blow your socks off. The 536 volume stops at level 29. Any way to get it to go higher?

I don't have a 536 yet? but I find that on all the scanners I have used when I plug in those computer speakers (2) on one plug and they have their own batteries power supply it really amplified the sound super loud.
I don't know if they still make these kinds of speakers now as I started using them 10 or so more years ago.
Emoney I too had a pro-197 and the audio or the speaker was better than the 536. I need to try that one idea about a mini me speaker for the 536 to see if it sounds better.

Make sure you have the AGC turned on and you can also change the volume level per talk group or channel plus or minus in the sentinel programming software so you could try setting it to a plus 2 or 3 for each one. If none of that helps try an external speaker like others have said that is what I do in my car.
That is strange, especially with an external speaker, my 536HP at a volume of 10 will wake up my wife from a sound sleep. Without the external speaker, the audio is still plenty loud.
