I dont get why some people complain about some of these issues. Its a hobby. You as a consumer do your home work before buying a product. If you dont like it send it back if its a new purchase. If you feel the company let you down and isnt supporting a product sell it and buy from a company who will.
Buy a freaking Motorola or Kenwood or Relm radio if you have LSM issues.
OH wait, then you will complain about something else.
I own these scanners and when i wanted better reception i did just that, got a G4, got a KNG2-P800
Sure it helps that I worked at a moto shop for a few years but i look at troymails avatar and think, man these people who complain about scanners are never happy. (yes i know plenty of people are happy with thiers so im focusing on the complainers).
Sell the scanners and move on.
I love the forums and like to see people help each other out with tips and tricks and see some good stuff but so much negativity.
