Hi,
I currently have top of the line Uniden portable scanner which has worked for me for the last 1-2 years but it's RTC battery has been causing temp. clock issues, which is why I'm going to send it in for that service recall Uniden offers.
I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations in case I decide to purchase a replacement in the meantime, something that's cheap most likely.
I listed to CHP 99% of the time, that's 39-46MHz with my car mounted 1.5m CHP antenna.
I was hoping perhaps for something that I could mount inside my trunk and use a remote head for control. I saw Whisler's newest unit and it seemed to fit that exactly, but it's expensive and I can't understand why they decided to make the volume button difficult to access.
Although I use the scanner through my car's speakers, Volume and channel scanning/moving should be at the top of the scroll button's actions, then a squelch access through an secondary key. I really like how Uniden does it on their HP series of scanners, very convenient to adjust volume (scroll button press and scroll) and change channels (1 scroll), and squelch is set and forgotten but always available with the press of just 1 additional button and scroll.
I want to see all available options, but I'm probably mostly interested in new hardware, not used/second hand.
