repair explained
Before I sent the 325p2 in for repairs, I was walking the dog and after taking scanner off my belt clip to turn up volume dog jerk the leash attempting to chase a squirrel and thus dropping on the concrete sidewalk. Uniden replaced keypad, which due to the numbers fading during normal operation and unfortunately this was a issue Uniden had as we saw on previous portable scanners. Worked on the control board also keypad contact sheet. I tried the base as well as the mobile antennas no problem with picking up control channel constantly on the 325p2. When I use the following portable antennas, Laird 800 mhz bnc and a multi band bnc antenna the control channel is in a finding mode. Frequency for the control is 852.9375. These portable antennas worked great on the 996p2 with no issue in loosing the control channel. Appears to be a issue while unit was serviced. Will have to call Uniden but I hate pushing numbers to talk with someone more so when the operator sends one to the wrong extension as previously encountered with such.
