Answer 1

One thing that might help a bit is to get an external speaker.  External speakers usually have much better sound than the built in speaker.  I always use one.

What you see is what you get. A quality headphone might make the sound a little better, but that's not the speaker on the radio. The scanner has no sound adjustment other than volume. Squelch will not affect the tone, just how the radio starts receiving and stops receiving.

There is a yahoo group for the BCD396t. If there are any mods for this issue, the folks there can tell you. Congratulations on your digital scanner. If you haven't checked out "RadioReference.com", you're missing an excellent frequency directory.
