[Scan-DC] Pro 82 front end issues?

  John, you didn't say whether you were using an external antenna, or whether you tried putting on the attenuator (if it has one).
  It sounds very much like you're running into an overload problem.  Most portables can't handle a big outdoor antenna, particularly if you live in an urban area (it sounds like you do).  That's just too much RF for a small scanner to handle, and it's very likely that any other 'simple' scanner would have similar problems.

Hello all,
I have a Radio Shack pro 82 scanner.
I've noticed that when I am listening to uhf,  metro transit seems to bleed over. The problem is so bad that I am thinking of getting  another simple scanner.
I was wondering if any one else had this scanner and noticed a issue with the scanner being very sensitive or if they had the same issue with metro bleeding over on uhf.
Regards
John
