I have read in the Uniden groups that people with the new 436 are finding dust appearing on the inside of the screen. Anybody else here in Colorado having that issue? Mine has been inside since I got it and I hate having to get the duct tape out to seal the unit after paying $500.00.

....Only quirk I have with it is, Phase 2 systems are spotty.

Are you referring to a system which deployed "Phase 2" Talkgroups, i.e. Talkgroups that cannot be scanned without a Phase 2 capable scanner? If so, which system(s)/ Talkgroup(s) would these be??

It might be my location, but this thing will pull in Westy good and then nothing for a bit. Thats the only system with this issue, everything else comes in fine. Using a RS 800 antenna.

No dust on my 536.

Wave Runner- I haven't seen any Phase-2 use yet on the Westy system. It is a simulcast cluster though which could explain your signal dropping in and out. If you do a channel hold does "DAT" remain solidly lit when you are not receiving a transmission?

The dust problem is on the 436 not the 536. Mine appeared to be dry skin from my fingers as it had never been outside. This also told me that the display was not air tight/moisture resistant as well. This was the main reason I returned it.

Steve - I was going by what the db showed. No the DAT does not stay on hince the instability. Guess its good I don't listen to them much.
