too many computer signals coming in to them, well with all gibberish
coming across the wireless networks that they have, showing them how
many $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s are ringing through there ears. there's too much rf.

my scanner doesn't work well in the local one here either. can't hear
nothing from the outside.

the other thing i always wondered was how they can sell 8 different
kinds of frs/gmrs radios that all advertised different distances. all
operate at the same frequencies and output yet they all have different
prices.

In the real world, FRS does about two miles. The distance claims on FRS
radios is highly exaggerated! Yes, there are circumstances they could do
ten miles, maybe over water, or if you both were standing on high hills in
the desert. Added to that, scanners are not optimized for those
frequencies, so it may be that an inexpensive FRS radio, will do better
receiving another FRS radio, than the typical scanner can.
