Do you ever hear any audio? Do you have a meter to check the input voltage? If so, can you also drop the voltage to 6V?
See if reading this helps -

I don't hear any audio. It acts like it doesn't even pick up the audio (or anything for that matter). It does go back to normal every now and then (in waves), but eventually returns (makes me think the 9V is the problem, which is what the level is at).

Take a look at this thread:

A bunch of us have experienced a voltage issue with the Pro-106, whereby is stops working properly (says its scanning, but won't break squlech) with the recommended 9v adaptor. As GumbyCT has pointed out, dropping it to 6v resolves the issue. Try yours on batteries or with a 6v adaptor and see if it works properly.
Based on the number of these incidents with the Pro-106, it sure looks like a manufacturing defect with the power input on the unit. Mine was out of warranty, so I just use the 6v adaptor now.
Thanks - Mike

Funny how I remove the AC adapter when it was acting like someone was pressing the PPT button off an on repeating and it stopped when it was on battery. I'm not happy to pay for a 6V, but it looks like this is my only choice now. Thanks guys.
