Your best bet is to make sure you are not close to any operating transmitter, at least 25feet, more is better though.

I also power mine up with the antenna totally down, though in this case, you are seriously hindering the scanner, so you can't rely on it to work, you'll need to be sure you use normal frequency control.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the hint!Will make sure to be a ways away from other ones!Never had this with my 11 occasionally get a hit but when your planes controls are sitting there on the bench jumping all over and your rec is off get suspicous.BHut these incidents nothing is moving!My 11 is in for a check now so can't compare them.As said did try another 111 at the field and did same thing.Another question I was setting the channel as described in the manual and also got the busy and the ailerons kept moving yet it did go to the channel was setting even though was saying busy?Later ground checked and flew and it worked but wohndering about the channel lock in that situation?

Status: offline 		Some interesting information about the TIII scanner function. I can go to the field, with other non-polk radios and the TIII will not turn on due busy frequencies. However, I can sit two TIII side by side, in my lap, one of channel 22 and the other on 23, and one will not affect the other!
Lot said about Polk and their narrow band transmitters

Could it be that other transmitters aren't as "pure" with the frequency generator?
