Ok, everything has been fine with my month old WS1040 until today. I have made no changes and it was working fine last night. I turned it on this morning and out of the blue I've got that constant tell tale control channel idling diesel engine sound on every scan list, every tsys, everything, along with static and a rythmic click like a key'd mic every two seconds. I am still picking up most of my talk groups but the weaker ones get drowned out by the noise but the stronger ones will come in clear with no noise, then it goes back to scanning with the noise on every list while still scanning. It doesn't matter if it's a digital tsys, analog or mixed.
Even when I disable all the scan lists and it says "nothing enabled" the noise is still there loud as ever.
Even with the antenna disconnected, it is there but with tons of static where there used to be none. Squelch control does nothing.
Is this thing hosed or is the alien mother-ship parked over my house?
Any ideas?
