Bypass the pilot tone, holding menu button and pressing Up arrow. Doing this you can understand if it’s a pilot tone problem and you can probably still use your receiver. Hope it helps

If it helps, I regularly work on block 21 in western Sicily and the reading from RF scan is very clean. My experience in this area is very good too with block 25,23,22 and A1 (upper part of the block), and quite good with block 26.

Try a look to PSC Solice Mini, you can find some used on Ebay in good condition and at a good price.

Thanks Larry! Do you know if the hardware fix is free of charge? (mine is out of warranty,too)

Hi, I hope this can help who, like me, have "noise" problem with SMWB. https://www.lectrosonics.com/the-wire-lists/889-wire-lists-33-hey-whats-that-sound.html I solved my problem avoiding frequencies evenly divisible by 12

For documentary work I use Sennheiser MKE2, more robust than DPA 4060 in my experience (sound quality is a different matter...). I've rarely got cable noise issues with MKE2's mounted with loop

I've just received mine (labeled as demo). Perfect conditions and it smells like new plastic.
