Have a Uniden BCD9962P2. All of a sudden been getting a noise on all channels like someone keying a mic. Every once in a while it stops then starts again Have no new app[iances plugged in Any ideas?
ALL channels? So EVERYTHING you try to monitor? Does the noise stop when you remove the antenna?Have a Uniden BCD9962P2. All of a sudden been getting a noise on all channels
Try taking the scanner to a friend's house and listening to it over there (away from possible interference in your house).Have a Uniden BCD9962P2.

OK will do tomorrow, but I've never had this problem before and have nothing new electrical.
The fact that the noise stops when you disconnect the antenna suggests that it may be something fairly close to your current location. A trip to a new location may confirm that. It's a good way to track down (or eliminate) possibilities.I made a recording and the noise stops when I remove the antenna
Bad capacitor(s) in the surge protector ? Maybe mimicking a small tank oscillator ? (no flames please) just guessing, lol.Damndest thing. Tried it in another room, was fine. Then went back to original room and started unplugging everything. Have a surge protector unplugged everything on it, still no go. Unplugged the surge protector itself, bingo, radio started scanning again. Plugged the surge protector in again, scanner still working. Now gotta figure out what's going on. At least I know where to start. Been driving me nuts past couple of weeks. Thanks all for your help.
