Hi,

I just bought myself my first scanner a GRE PSR-282

I have entered various frequency's from the net.

On one frequency in particular, there is alot of activity and although it
seems to come through really clear in some respects, like it feels like a
strong signal with no background noise etc, the voice is distorted and i
have to turn it up really loud to hear her.

It reminds me of 'bleed over' from another channel from when I had my CB
radio as a kid.

Is there anything I can do to rectify this?

It may be a signal in a different mode than what your scanner is trying to
decode. In other words, if your scanner is set to NFM (narrow FM) and the
signal is WFM (wide FM) or AM, it might sound as you describe. What
frequency is it? That might help answer the question. Another possibility
is that you are getting some kind of intermodulation distortion or image.
Hard to say exactly without hearing it.

Could also be your antenna, that little rubber ducky is not the best
antenna in the world. Heck it could be a 1000 things, start with the
cheapest and setup an outside antenna for it see if that clears things up
for you. Or just walk outside and hold it up, if it clears up you need a
bigger antenna then that little rubber ducky :-)
