Hello all:
I have been scanning for a few years now on a couple of Icom HT's that I have. On the UHF one, and sometimes on the VHF one, I get bursts of digital noise. So I have a couple of questions about how to avoid this. A) If I were to buy a digital scanner, does that necessarily mean that most of the digital noise will magically be transformed into audio? (I know it won't decode TRBO) B) I know I can set a CTCSS associated with a certain frequency, but does that mean that it would also block unwanted incoming signals? I thought it only meant that when you transmit that it would get you into whatever repeater you were going for.
Thanks in advance.
