I've been scanning for years and recently bought the $200 Sony SW radio. Ran a 100' antenna along by fence, and grounded (amateurishly) by tying the end onto a metal rod that's banged 2 feet into the ground.
Now the reception increases dramatically after grounding it (which someone advised me to do), but now the local AM station down the street over powers the whole band that I am trying to listen to (around 3800 khz). When I scan, it comes in every 10 khz, which is driving me so nuts, I put the radio down and don't even try.
Please help me to get rid of the interference
I have heard of a device that you put inline on the antenna, and tune into the station that is interfering, and it will send it to ground. Ever hear of it? Recommend it?
I cannot run 100' of antenna anywhere else but along this fence, so if repositioning it is the only way, then I'm sol.
