While getting to know my new BCD996XT I started fooling with its FM capabilities.
However, I noticed that some stations right at the edge of the FMB band do not come in with this scanner.
If I listen to the radio they come in just fine.
Example,
Where I live, we have a station at 107.9.
A little weeker than most stations but it still come in quite well on a regular FM radio.
On this scanner, I get a lot of interference from another station, static, and in the background, the actual station.
If I turn on the attenuator feature, I get the station really weak but with no interference from another station.
On the flip side,
There is a station that is ~50miles away (102.7) that I usually don't pick up with regular FM radios but this scanner picks it up pretty well.
Really weird...
Any thoughts?
Suggestions?
