On my 996 I'm Listening to the Old Segwick Co System and while it has scanned it fine in the past with out to many issues, it has seemed lately to have picked up an annoying little issue it will Land on a particular Talk group and when Traffic is finished and the scanner should continue scanning it stays locked there and you can here a low hiss that is until I rotate the Dial to get it scanning again or take my hand and go around the Antenna then it moves on..

There should be a Solution that can stop this I'm going to try using another antenna and see if that stops it, The scanner does fine when I'm listening to KSICS or to Mcpherson Co's Edacs system..

The scanner started having this problem as soon as the New P25 system went Live so I assuming it's a case of possible interference with both system going at the same time or Maybe my Antenna..

Anybody have any Ideas what can help Minimize this or Get the scanner back to scanning as it was.. Thanks Bear

Yup i tried that Sir.. i even tried turning it all the way clock wise to the highest squelch setting and it still producing the issue.. It's ok to listen to there traffic but that added noise is a pain in the tush:p

I should NOTE I live a ways from Sedgwick Co but I can still pick up there Traffic off the Tower located in west Sedgwick Co.

They are working on the radio system--this has happened before. It's not your radio. Give it some time and we'll see what happens when digital is fully up and running.
