I happen to be an EMT (on top of being a geek), and just installed a scanner (radio frequencies) into my car right above the Empeg. I have a Toyota Solara, with the empeg and scanner both in the double din (tight fit, but barely worked). The Empeg sits on the bottom and the scanner right above it.

So, here's the issue I am having. The Empeg works fine. The scanner, when tested (on the passenger seat, outside the dash), worked fine. It is using an 18" whip antenna mounted on the trunk. Now, when I moved the scanner into the dash, the ability for the scanner to pick up signal was greatly reduced, by near to 50%.

I moved the tuner module so that it is now as far away from the scanner as possible, but it does not seem to help. It could have to do with the empeg sled, but that should be grounded through the normal wiring.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? I would rather not move the scanner out of the dash, as there is not much room in the front of the car for it. Not to mention the perfect fit in the dash (I will post pictures in the near future of the install).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am wondering if it is the sled not being properly grounded or maybe signal spill from the tuner module???? Before ripping it apart again, thought I'd try here....
