please help
Unless you are in a dead zone for the weather channels, take the unit back to Radioshack and try a new one. Try this: Turn squelch all the way down, and try to listen to all 7 weather channels and see if you can hear ANY voice. If you can't, take the scanner back.JMR3865 said:I hear the beeps when i press the keys. When I scan the weather channels, it will not pick one up. when I enter a freq and transmit on it, the scanner will not pick it up!

Missed that part of the post, but this may be the key. How much wattage and how close were you to the scanner when you "transmitted" on the frequency? Could have blown the diode protection circuit in the front end of the 97.JMR3865 said:I hear the beeps when i press the keys.
