My question is, can I use any USB-C power cable and PD charging block I choose, to charge it? I have a few spare Anker 60W cables and a couple 30W PD charging bricks/battery packs that I would like to take with me to work to apply a charge. That way I can leave the cradle at home for overnight charging. Thanks all. View article »

I'm the original owner and the site I bought it from had programed the local channels in, but that was at least a decade ago, and have all cables that came with it, but I do not have the disc. Lost in moving, life, etc... The 600 still works but I've noticed it does not pick up as many channels, I assume it's due to the local... Read more View article »

I had been using it at home with the stock antenna and it was pulling in signals very well. Over the weekend, I plugged it into the truck antenna (using the Uniden supplied SMA to BNC adapter). It wasn't picking up much in the truck, but I assumed it was just "Sunday quiet" on the radio waves. Today, I've had the chance to put my SDS100 (stock antenna) next to my SDS150 (stock antenna)... bad news... The SDS150... Read more View article »
