Hi everyone - I am @ the end of my rope with my scanner. I have had this scanner for about 3 years now and it worked fine up until recently. I have never dropped it or exposed it to outside elements.
I mostly scan my favorite list. My scanner can sit idle for 5 minutes before anything comes over the air. It seems that the scanner takes so long to go through all of the sites in each favorite list. I live in Houston, Tx - 4th largest city in the US, so there is tons of radio traffic. No need for the scanner to sit idle for 5 mins before I hear anything.
Here are the points of interest:
- I live in Harris County
- My city is Houston, Tx
- I do my radio ref updates once a month
- I do not have my Favorite List numbered.
- My range is set to zero miles
- I only scan PD's
- I have my types set up to law dispatch / law tac & interop
- I do not avoid any sites
- My favorites are a mixture of P25 & Txwarn
**Do I need to reset my scanner to factory settings or throw it away?**
