Hey Guys,

The scanner I am borrowing to play with, blinks....that's the best way to describe it...I'll be listening to the cops or something and even if the signal is strong, part of the words get cut off...like it blinks off. Is something wrong? Are scanners known for this? It's hard to follow conversations.....

Thanks,

Annie :)

My limited knowledge guess would be it's a digital system that they are using to talk on.
That's the way it is in the county I live in. Very difficult to follow and understand cause it cuts in and out.

But it could be something else. I'm not too familiar with that kind of communication systems...

if it is a newer model, it could also be checking the wx priority alert feature. My bcd396t does that
