Hi all. I have a PRO-404 that's acting strangely...it seems to be off-channel on VHF and deaf on UHF.
First I tried my local NOAA weather broadcast on 162.55 MHz. Normally it comes in with full quieting but this time it was way low. I got curious so I tried 162.5625 and 162.5375. There it was, full quieting on 162.5375. The scanner was receiving -12.5 kHz off-frequency.
Next I tried my (legal, WQVB921) GMRS portable on 467.525. The scanner acted like it unsquelched (LCD backlight dimmed), but no audio was recovered. (I checked for PL, etc.)
I checked both NOAA and 467.525 with my PRO-106 as well. Full quieting on both, 5/5.
I know this isn't a great scanner and it's probably not worth my time or yours, but if there's a simple way to fix this, I'd like to get it going again as a backup, knock-around rig. Maybe give it to a kid with an interest in rail, aviation or marine?
Thanks for your help.
