    Paul Opitz passes away at age 59 after his battle with cancer

    I just received word that Paul Opitz (UPMan) passed away Saturday from his long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family when he passed. That is all the news I have at this time. To say he will be missed is an understatement.

    Hoping for the best in the least amount of time. May you be catching flak here again soon.

    my.uniden.com - Now I'm Ticked

    The site is back up, but no logins are being permitted until the password is reset. This means I cannot update my email address so that I can receive a new password. I tried sending an email to support at uniden dot com and got this: "Your message couldn't be delivered to support@uniden.com...

    Anyone know how long "MyUniden.com" site will be down?

    Greetings... I know they had gotten hacked or something, but I just got a used radio off of flee-bay and was looking to upgrade with DMR. Tim

    Need a cybersecurity contact for my.uniden.com

    Can someone point me to a person responsible for cybersecurity at Uniden - particularly for the my.uniden.com portal? Feel free to DM me the info. I'd prefer not to report a security issue via the customer support path, but I can't find a good contact.

    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100: Considering Class Action Lawsuit Against Uniden - SDS100 Battery

    All, I gave up on reading this forum for a couple of months because, every time I saw posts about the large battery “coming soon”, it did nothing but upset me. I bought mine the day it came out and was pleasantly surprised to see that yellow sheet of paper on which Uniden...

    HP-1: Homepatrol.com off line

    Seems to be a server issue, coming up with a "500 Internal Server Error at HomePatrol.com. Time for a server reboot?

    Siren App neglect

    I hate to keep harping on this, but Christ, it seems like Uniden came up with the Android app and basically said to hell with updating the iPhone app so it will work properly with favorite lists, and I thought it was supposed to basically be a full remote control for the 536? Why is there...

    lack of customer service Uniden repair

    My scanner was received for repair may 5 for repair after it stops working less than six months after buying it. After sitting at Uniden for four weeks. They put hold on for payment. I clear that and was told on June 5 they would ship it soon. June 12 when I call. I get told it on hold...

    Any SIREN updates

    Seriously. We've had our radios for over three years now. I would really like to put my 536 back in the car, and the SIREN app would made installation a hell of a lot easier. The favorite list bug needs to be addressed in the iPhone app, and I thought there were going to be more features in the...

    Breaking news!

    I'm not a power user or anything like that, but I did notice UPMan has a "Breaking News" avatar up now. Maybe NXDN soon? ;)

    Challenge for Uniden

    Let's see if Uniden can shrink their next HP scanner to shirt pocket size. Impossible? I present as evidence the Kenwood TH-F6a tri-band transceiver -- just 2-5/16 x 3-7/16 x 1-3/16 inches, with a Li-ion battery that has nearly twice the wattage of the BCD436HP. Introduced about 15 years ago...

    Any possibility of Siren update?

    I checked which version of Siren I have on my Android device this morning, and it says 1.0.1. Does Uniden have any plans to improve the Siren app, or have they written it off? Because of the audio delay problems, I simply use my old Android cell phone as a remote head to operate the scanner and...

    BCD436HP/BCD536HP: ATTN: UPMAN: FW 1.11.16: Custom search channel spacing is still wrong

    I just upgraded to FW 1.11.16, hoping the channel spacing glitch was fixed, but no. The channel spacing glitch issue is this: the interval resets on 100 kHz increases which is absolutely wrong. For example: Custom search 3, 15kHz spacing. Search from say 142.830 to 143 Mhz. Steps are...

    Done With Uniden

    Nothing, nothing but unacceptable performance (or non-performance) from my pricey 436 and 536. A couple of cheap-o, circa-2003 Radio Shack PRO-2052s run circles around 'em. The latter provides crystal clear audio; in tandem, the same systems and talk groups on the Unidens, same location, just...

    How about a Siren App status update?

    Here we are approaching another month and still no word on an update to the Siren App or even word of an Android version. From his timeline were still stuck on V1. This has just gotten totally ridicules. Originally Posted by UPMan V1 = main scanning functions, LAN only V2 = addition of Analyze...
