Turn the DSP off. If digital signals from mobiles or WT's cant reach the repeater then they all sound bad. I use a powered sub-woofer from a PC speaker set just for my 96. It smothes out the high freq audio and it sounds MELLOW.

i listen to jpd and fire and rescue, and sheriff dept. all the channels are okay except, the jpd. I just got this pro 96 today and it sounds totally different from my old one. jpd is warbly sounding and sounding like they are talking in water. It just doesnt sound right. i pick up a lot of back ground noise as well

Unless you have the proper equipment connected to the scanner to do the test it will fail.
