I have a Yupitura MVT7100 handheld scanner.  It's one of the best handheld
scanners out (and not available in the US).  This scanner can't keep
squelch (spell?) when it's inside an 89 E30 M3.  I think maybe E30 cars
are not shielded very well cuz I know it has high EMI emissions.  I also
attribute some of the EMI from my Alpine 8040 radar sensor (which is always
on).
