My 1040 recently feel off a bedside table onto a carpeted floor and now I am having receiving issues. Sometimes it will come in fine other times hardly at all or garbbled.I have replaced the antenna but that doesn't seem to Have helped any other ideas??
Did the scanner fall on it's antenna? Did you open the battery cover to make sure the batteries were secured properly? BTW, you've posted the same question in a second thread which is generally frowned upon by the Mods.
That line of scanners has a history of the solder connection from the antenna connector to the circuit board breaking if strain is put on the antenna connector. You may have to remove the cover and check for a broken connection.

This would be my guess as to the cause of the problem as well. I've seen this many more times than I'd like with portable scanners of several models and makes.
