I have a pro-2055. Not the greatest scanner, but when i got it, i only paid 30 for it and it was like BRAND NEW! I currently have it hardwired into my car. The antenna i have now, i just got and its a larsen NMOQB 1/4 vhf and with a NMO permanent roof mount(NMOKHFUD). During the time i waited for the antenna to arrive, i kept my scanner in my upstairs room with the stock telescopic antenna. It picked things up GREAT! Hardly ever any static or hiss. After i put it back in car(had in before with a old mag mount RS antenna), the scanner receives some frequencies with static and hissing. I figured with the nicer cable and good antenna, i would receive all the signals that i got in the house, the same or better while its in the car.
Im curious to know if my antenna cable runs of power wires, if that can cause the static or hiss? The cable it double insulated.
Or should i find new power and ground points for the scanner? Currently grounded to random screw under dash and forgot power source.
Thanks!
