what the...

....what I want to find out is why my old simple little BC350A does a FAR better job of recieving VHF/UHF than my BC785D. Is that bigger unit just plagued with too many expectations, did they do a lousy job of aligning it at the factory, or is it just front end stuff?

For conventional scanning, the 350 does just as good as the 996t or the bcd 15! The sound is even better, than either one of them.

At least here in Central NC I can't use an old 350a that I had laying around. Almost as soon as I turn it on it is plagued with intermod.

My guess spent too much time on the digital stuff, this was one of the first digital capable scanners out.
But I'm glad we have digital scanners
