Don't want to sound facetious, but you have turned the Squelch
knob clock-wise , right ? :idea:
That would normally eliminate the hiss or static sound. Play around and see if that corrects it.
Is your antenna connected securely ?
But what the hey it's always time for a new scanner ! :lol:

I'm not trying to be jocular, but in trunking the squelch is not relevant.
I have a 94, and have never had your problem. When a radio is almost out of battery power in an EDACS system, it makes a wierd noise when transmitting. Where are you located? I doubt it, but it could be a type of encryption.

With apologies:
The squelch setting DOES affect trunking in that it affects the reception of the CC. Trust me on this- ten years of monitoring both EDACS, and Motorola TRS's both close up, and from a distance. On the PRO-94, and 2052, if you don't have the squelch set just right, especially on an EDACS system, it WILL cause problems with locking on the CC. Once the CC is locked, squelch is not important. If your using tight squelch to acqure a distant EDACS CC,.. then yes once it goes back to conventional scanning, you will lock on the first conventional freq and HISS! SO you will need to readjust the squelch for conventional. If your trying to hear the EDACS from a distance, then you really need to lock out the conventional banks and just listen to the TRS. If you really want to hear the conventional, then you will just have to deal with spotty, if a lock at all on the EDACS CC. Motorola systems are much better for distance monitoring, but the same advice applies for them too.

just like to say thanks for all the help but i believe the problem may be internal. i have had the scanner 4 yrs , may be old age . i keep the squelch fully clockwise while trunking also changed the antenna to see if it would help! maybe wife will let me buy a 246t lol.

If you had a NEXTEL direct connect radio near you scanner it could have ZAPed it. My area is NEXTEL HELL. Seems like everybody in a service business has one. The local FOX TV station had me look at their 800MHz scanners that quit working. I found a NEXTEL on the desk in front of the scanners. They were some of the cheaper Uniden types. Long story short. They got new scanners. I programmed them. Installed outside antennas. They now step away from the news desk when using the NEXTELS. Problems solved. May not be your problem but everyone should know this.
