I just got an email from Uniden marketing entitled "Drama with Uniden." Based on the title, I was expecting (hoping? I know... try not to laugh) an apology for the absolutely ridiculous BCD-536 rollout, failed promises, and lies, plus an offer of an (at least) $100 rebate for the (still not working yet promised) WiFi connectivity and portable app.
Instead, it was an advertisement trying to get me to buy a BCD-536, prominently touting the fact that "the Wi-Fi feature lets you use the exclusive Uniden Siren App on your smartphone or tablet to access your scanner from anywhere in your home or vehicle." No little star or dagger to a footnote saying, "Well... actually that feature doesn't work, it hasn't for over a year, and there appears to be little hope that it ever will. So, come to think of it, never mind on that one."
Wow. It's no wonder Uniden is falling down, when it continues to shove it's right foot in its own mouth and at the same time use the left foot to kick its once loyal customers in the butt so hard. I know I won't get any response from Uniden here, but if anyone at that company reads this forum, you've got a lot of nerve.
