Greetings All,
I've had the BC200XLT since 1994 and recently had the batteries replaced in the battery pack. After getting the battery pack back I charged it fully and attached to the scanner. I turned the scanner on and nothing happens. If I plug the charger into the battery pack and turn the scanner on it operates normally. While the scanner is ON, I unplugged the charger and the scanner continues to operate with no problems. A friend of mine has the same scanner and is exhibiting the same problem. If I hold a 9V battery against the terminals and turn the scanner on it operates normally. I checked the repaired battery pack and the voltage is 8.4VDC. This scanner has the speed update and extended battery modification installed. It is the way the scanner came to me brand new out of the box from Racing Electronics. I only know that these mods were done since I recently opened the scanner along with my friend who opened his and did some comparisons. I found the service manual on-line and the layouts look the same but different due to the mods. If I hold one of the key down and turn the scanner on the speaker makes a "motor boat" sound. Thank you in advance for any information or helpful tips to resolve the issue at hand with the scanner. If you require more information than what I've stated don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Scott
