I'm in Petawawa and I just got my 1098 in my car today and compared to my old 396T the EMS has alot of static and the OPP sound OK but not as good as before.
Both sound fine to me on my TRX-1 and 2 here in Hamilton area, Not much OPP traffic except highways here mostly MOH EMS did not notice too big of a difference from my old scanner (996XT) to this in audio quality.
