Hi All,

In 1996 I bought a Commtel COM216 scanner. Inside this scanner it says it's manufactured by Uniden and several Uniden functions (like the factory reset) work as well. This scanner always worked perfect until recently.

At this moment when turning the scanner on it scans very very slow. I can actually see the frequencies passing by. The other thing is that not a single frequency receives something. When I select a frequency with my Uniden BC898T scanner I do hear something, so there is communication.

Since this scanner is so old there is no way of getting it checked out I guess. Is there anyone here that recognizes this problem and has a solution?

To add some details: the scanner never fell, always has been connected to its original power supply, and has been treated nice. The problem 'just came'.

Thanks!
