i have a new pro-2055 that i got on 3/25/07.after reading about all the display trouble i don't know if i should keep it or take it back the DATE CODE IS 10A06 ?

 

[scanjunkie]

Keep it...if the display goes bad send it in for warranty repair....I wouldn't get rid of it based on a "what if."

rs pro-2055 running 24/7

what i would like to do is use my scanner pro-2055 all the time 24 hrs a day 7 day's a week when not using it as a scanner use it for weather alerts in the same mode.how do you think it will hold up running all this much time ?

I have a 2055 date code 06A05 that I bought in Feb of last year. Running it 24/7 should not matter, I have mine on just about all time but you never know.

thats one of the date codes that is giving trouble with the display isn't ? my 2055 has a date code of 10a/06.

i know i have a lot of queston's about the pro-2055 but i have not been able to find the answer's to some queston's ( or to tick heeaded ) so on the pro-2055 is their a way to set the display and key pad to time out and go off or does it stay on until you cut them off ?

My opinion is take it back while you can still get a full refund. Mine was great for 1 year then went blank. Get a Uniden bct-15, twice the scanner as a 2055.

I believe the 09A05 has given the most trouble but have read where this date has went out. Is does not mean that all 2055 displays will give trouble, some may never and then they may go bad the next time you turn it on. There is no way to turn off your display that I am aware of . If you are really that afraid of it going out do what 69stiles said and get your money back and get another scanner.

My 2055 is on 24/7. I too have one from the 9/05 batch. It was repaired and again has been running non-stop since the repair. You can turn off the light. You might be able to make the display invisable by using the contrast feature, but how would you see to adjust it back?
Granted no item should have such a large number of defective units, but any one unit from any source can fail. You just toss your money and hope that the odds are in your favor.

i probably will keep it if it goes out i think that i will get the pro-2096 or a unideni know uniden are good i use my last one 22 years and it is still working.

Jerry,

You can turn the backlight for the display and keypad off if you wish by using the Dim button, which is the bottom left button. Press it repeatedly and it will turn the backlight off. You may have known that already, but thought I'd mention it since you asked about turning the display and keypad off earlier in this thread. I don't know of a way to turn the display itself off.
