I'm not getting any reception on my scanner. Could you help me out?

Many times it's caused by poor antenna reception. You also may be on the fringe receiving area.

Hi,

The radio reception will depend on your location, if you are driving on an area that has no reception then you will really not get anything, but yes you can always play your cd's since they do not require reception signals.

Just forget about the last digit. Receive bandwidth is wide enough that your reception will be fine -- unless there's an active station on 464.2120.

The only realistic way to improve reception is with a better antenna. You can find a wide selection at sources such as eBay and ScannerWorld.com

Sorry, but there is no formula that can guarantee reception. The VHF and UHF signals monitored by a scanner will normally travel more than 20 miles, but they are strictly "line-of-sight" transmissions. If there are large buildings or hills/mountains between you and the transmitter, or if you live in valley, the signals may not reach you, even with an outdoor antenna. Your best bet is to borrow a scanner from a friend and check reception before you make an investment that may or may not work for you.
