Trouble with one frequency ? Uniden346

[macinius45]

Having problem with just ONE frequency,,,?I put under Uniden because it comes in clear on my other scanner. Its the Webster Ma,PD Dispatch 156.210/ 94.8. Anyone else having similar prob? muffled and static.Only channel that does it.

Possibly what is called a "birdie" which is a frequency that is unusable due to internally generated signals within a receiver. The fact that your other receiver is okay would point to such a problem. Some receivers have birdies while others don't, and sometimes these are actually listed in the instruction/operating manual for the radio.

Is it a 346XT? (Was there ever a "T") If so, and it is a birdie problem:

Intermediate Frequency Exchange
All scanners have “Images” (reception of channels on frequencies other than the correct one) and “Birdies” (self generated signals) that can interfere with legitimate scanner channels. This is a fact of life and cannot be avoided. The BC346XT however allows you to alter internal settings, called Intermediate Frequencies (IF) on individual channels to move these Birdies and Images to frequencies unused in your area.

So just out of curiosity, did you put it into the 364 as 156.20? If so did it work OK?
