12/28/2023 0 Comments Transistor fm radio low volume![]() scanner that has specific digital features some don't. site I mention here and look up what you need but you need to post what area you are in, as in nation, state and county and what you are interested in hearing, because each state/county has different requirements in a scanner. If you want clean, simple police scanner just go to that radioref. Pops again sound comes on for a fraction of a second then out again. ![]() If I turn it up it pops and sound goes out. The volume seems to have a mind of its own - without touching the dial, the volume drifts up and down as if the signal strength is waning, but theres no static whatsoever. I turned up the volume, it popped, and now only plays consistently at low volume. You can also TRY and wangle with an SDR dongle, the RTL2832 usb stick from China (around $20) but it requires a bit of technical knowledge to get it to work to receive such complex things as scanner chatter- as in installing complicated programs etc. Just under 5000 miles on my JLU Sport S with the technology group and I started having some odd volume issues with the FM radio. If not, voltage checks around the audio stages may help to identify the fault. If the audio stages are OK you should get a buzzing noise. Original price on those is about 599., but they are clearing them out for new stock. To check further, set the volume control to maximum, hold a screwdriver with your finger against the blade and touch the tip onto the centre connection (wiper) of the volume control. I have a fm/am/sw radio with removable R20 batteries. You will probably need whats called a trunk tracker digital scanner, those can run several hundred dollars - unless your police dept is in USA and also happens to use APCO25 "phase 1" you might find a Uniden scanner ON SALE or Clearance for around $ if you are Lucky. Thank you, acquired a GE transistor radio and this was a great tool to have a guide as I explored. Go to radioreference dot com and get help there on what you will need to receive police scanner chatter. My Thursday adjustments made it into a nice working radio. ![]() This little radio must have been put together on a Monday. One of the adjustments on the main tuning capacitor made a hugh improvement to the reception. This radio does not have the small square tuning transformers. Yeah! The radio reception still sucked though, so I went a bit further and "messed" with the main tuning capacitor. I replaced the broken antenna, but I then noticed that the radio would not pick up anything above 103.xx Using your instructions to increase the range I was able to put the station 104.3 right back on the dial where it is supposed to be. Not that this little radio is worth my time, but I was curious to see if I could make something out of it. The radio reception absolutely sucked at her camp so I gave her a multi-band radio and she can now listen to her favourite station. I do not know if they had opened it up and disturbed the copper coils or not. A friend had this little cheap Chinese AM/FM radio and they had broken the antenna. I actually didn't use the instructions as you meant them to be used here.not exactly. Thank you Kipkay this was just the information I was looking for, and I fixed my radio.
