Thanks
I did have 196 ID's programed for the county and it's been working fine all year. I manually deleted all groups, leaving only the CC's, and it did start to work in search- a little. It's like the antenna is disconnected. It will be silent for hours then it will start to pick up traffic.
This started a week after our little hurricane, I had gone through 14 sets of batteries, and I wonder if this could have done something.
So, to make thinks worse, I loaded V3 on it last week, figured it couldn't hurt.
It hurt bad. I have this 396 run through the stereo and keep it up so we can hear it in other areas. It's been nice and clear all year, nothing but static now.
So my problem is now compounded I think?
