I know that this doesn't really help answer your direct question, but I didn't know that any Uniden scanners had a charging cradle. (I Googled around after seeing your post and couldn't find much.) Is this the only model that has a charging cradle?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought it. Thanks again and again and again.
I had no idea it was even sold seperately. I know they were only offered in the BC230XLT and a few of the BC235XLT models. I never seen them in anything else.
That made my night. My BC245XLT will not charge with the adapter plugged it. I know I could get a new scanner and plan on it soon but I flat out love this one. My local agencies are still on analog systems so I am still good with an older scanner. I may just drop the $50 and send it to Uniden and get it fixed. It's like part of the family.
