The battery was sitting in its original battery cover in the open in a temperature stable office environment. It has not been used or charged since I swapped it out with the higher capacity battery that Uniden supplied when they determined that the original battery was insufficient. I urge everyone to check the condition of any spare batteries they have... Read more View article »

I’m trying to set up DMR but every time I attempt to program a frequency I end up doing something wrong and getting frustrated. I would also like to ask if there is any setting that allows the radio to scan tones. The reason is that when I listen on a frequency I can hear one person speaking normally but I cannot hear the other person. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong or can guide me on how to correctly program a DMR... Read more View article »

My older brother & sister-in-law have moved back to her town of origin in Alna, Maine. They'd been in Alaska & western Washington for the last 50 years. I'd like to get them a scanner that they can manage without too much effort, and without spending $1K. I can drop a narrowband I.F. filter into one of my legacy Bearcat units for them if there's likely to be a decent amount of analog public safety traffic to listen to... Read more View article »
