SECOND OPINION DO NOT CLOSE ] My problem is with my UNIDEN…

Are you there?

As for the range settings, it can vary depending on your location and the distance to the transmitters you're trying to receive signals from.

To start, I recommend setting the range to around 10-20 miles (16-32 kilometers). This should be sufficient for most urban and suburban areas. If you're in a more rural area or trying to receive signals from farther away, you may need to increase the range setting.

To adjust the range on your Uniden BCD536HP scanner:

1. Press the "Menu" button on your scanner.
2. Scroll down and select "Set Range" using the scroll wheel.
3. Use the scroll wheel to adjust the range to the desired distance.
4. Press the "Menu" button again to save your settings and return to the main screen.

After adjusting the range, give the scanner some time to scan and see if you start receiving the desired signals. If you still don't have any luck, you may want to gradually increase the range and see if that helps.

There can be many factors but try some of the options below that I have listed for you. Hope this will block those radio frequencies.

It seems that your Uniden BCD536HP scanner may be picking up signals from nearby radio stations. To prevent your scanner from picking up these unwanted signals, you can try the following steps:

1. Lockout unwanted frequencies: If you know the specific frequency or frequencies of the radio stations causing interference, you can manually lock them out. To do this:

   a. Press the "Channel" button to navigate to the specific frequency. b. Press the "Func" button, then press the "L/O" button (Lockout button) to lock out the frequency. c. Press the "Scan" button to resume scanning.

2. Adjust squelch settings: The squelch setting on your scanner can help filter out weaker signals, such as radio stations. To adjust the squelch:

   a. Press the "Func" button. b. Use the scroll wheel to adjust the squelch level. A higher squelch level will filter out weaker signals, while a lower squelch level will allow weaker signals to come through. c. Release the "Func" button to save the squelch setting.

3. Adjust location settings: Make sure your scanner is set to the correct location or service type to ensure you're scanning the appropriate channels. To do this:

   a. Press the "Menu" button. b. Scroll to "Select Location" or "Select Service Type" and press the "E" button (Enter button). c. Choose the appropriate location or service type using the scroll wheel and press the "E" button to confirm.

4. Use an external antenna: If you're still experiencing interference from radio stations, you may want to consider using an external antenna specifically designed for scanners. This can help improve reception and reduce unwanted signals.
