The symptoms you describe sound a lot like IBOC noise. The best documentation on that is on Brian Beezley's page below.

The good news is that your Scott has oscilloscope outputs. One of those is the FM detector output. That can drive the external decoder.
I've used that decoder and I suspect it will reduce or eliminate your problem. You can also add a post-detection filter before the decoder.
The bad news is that the LM 4500 chip is out of production. I don't know whether Mr. Fitzgerald is still offering the chips and boards. It would be best to contact him directly through that site. Good luck!
