Ok yesterday I got annoyed at my 197 and decided to fix it,it was getting noise in with my local police department.So I get an FM trap from radio shack cut out the coils and used a 100 ohm variable potentiometer shorted the two legs on the one side connected them to the input part of the fm trap and took the other leg and put it to the output of the trap box.I put it on a blank channel,backed the pot off til I got 1 signal bar flickering,ya know what?This scanner is so clear now its amazing!
PS leaave the two small caps on the input and output they go from ground to the center of the f connectors.Works like a charm!
