When that happens, I usually tune my Uniden SDS200 to NYSEG's trunked system to listen to the field techs, which gives me better insight than their "outage central" website into the status of repairs. But today, during another blackout, I turned the radio on, only to hear silence for over an hour. As a sanity check I tuned to other local trunked systems, and received those just fine - so it's not like my coax or antenna failed.)... Read more View article »

My last scanner was installed in my truck. These days I see myself listening mainly at home, but I would love to take a radio with me too. I was about to pull the trigger on a SDS200, until I read here on the forum, that several owners of the new SDS150 get more stations in due to better sensitivity than the SDS200. That paired with Bluetooth and cellphone app... Read more View article »

It is dead. The red charging light works when the phone is in the housing; the screen displays information; I had the battery tested at Batteries and Bulbs, and it is fine. The antenna is long gone, but the phone has worked fine without it for years. However, there is no dial tone. One night the phone worked, and the next morning, the line was dead. AI...

Three times in the past week or so, I have found that it has "gone silent" and stopped receiving signals. Watching the display, it looks "normal" as if its scanning and receiving fine, it just seems to stop receiving signals. I notice, when this issue appears, it will have been scanning just fine for a day or so, then I will notice it "scanning" for long periods (an hour or more) without detecting a...
