    What to do if my Radio Shack 20-136 is on but not scanning?

      If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, it might be due to the SQUELCH not being adjusted correctly. Try adjusting the SQUELCH. Also, ensure you have frequencies stored in more than one channel, as the scanner may not scan if only one or no channels are stored.

      Michael BellAug 6, 2025
      Poor or no reception on your Radio Shack Scanner can be due to a loose antenna. Ensure an antenna is securely connected to the scanner. Alternatively, the scanner might be receiving interference or electrical noise. Try moving the scanner or its antenna away from the source of interference and change the height or angle of the antenna.
