Sent in my 396 3 weeks ago with the following problem:
-Intermittent audio problems with both analog & digital signals, as well as with the keypad.
Hitting any of the keypad buttons, there is no audible 'beep', probably 20% of the time. The button function works fine, just no 'beep'. I have also had it locked on a constant analog signal, such as a NOAA broadcast, as well as a digital trunked TG, both with a full-scale signal. The audio will 'pop' in and out. If I hit a keypad button or volume button, it does the same thing. I'm hoping some of the P25 digital issues will be resolved with the upcoming update, but that doesn't explain the analog audio or keybeep problem. This all occurs regardless of AGC on/off, ATT on/off, different antennas, battery power or AC. I've tried every scenario I can think of.
The Service Dept replaced the speaker & from the minute I opened the box...no change. Before I send it back a second time, does anyone know of any audio circuit issues that may be to blame ? It seems the original speaker wasn't the problem.
I've always been a huge Uniden fan, so I was a bit disappointed with the repair results after 3 weeks of waiting...
Thanks so much for any help !!!
