I don't get some of the replies telling you to check things that weren't changed before the scanner stopped scanning. It was scanning fine. Nothing was touched and it stopped scanning. It's not going to be a setting or something set wrong in the favorites list. Reprogramming it fixes it so it...

Uniden appears to be not just incompetent but dishonest as well.

But you paid to ship the back and waited 3 weeks. If it's past the retailers return period you don't have much choice, but if it is still within the retailers return period you can send it back for free and get a brand new one in less than 3 weeks.

It doesn't just apply to Over The Air TV antennas. The FCC rule has been amended it to include cell phone and wireless internet antennas. A cell phone antenna can look like an 800 Mhz scanner antenna.

This is so true and great advice. Walmart has a 90 day no BS return policy but they charge sale tax. Home Depot has a 90 day return policy but their website shows only 30 days for "Consumer Electronics (Televisions & Computers)". Does this mean all consumer electronics or just TV's and...

NO! NO! NO! WHY ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE MANUFACTURER for a brand new product??? Doesn't Amazon have a 30 day return window for this vendor? Why in the world would YOU PAY to ship a BRAND NEW scanner back to Uniden and WAIT A MONTH OR MORE for them to return it and hope it got repaired? Legally...

I bought this one for $15.63 shipped free. High Gain 13dBi 9 Unit 806-960 MHz External Outdoor Yagi Antenna F Connector for Cellphone Signal Booster GSM Direction Antenna. They estimated 3 week delivery but received it in 10 days. You can get them with N connectors too. It works fine to pull in...

It's a moron video. The guy starts by slamming his feet at the beginning of the video to make us think the system is causing that. Then he keeps switching channels as if he is looking for transmissions but when he finds one he switches the channel.

Do you mean a "Memorize the questions and the letter for the correct answer without knowing the material" type test like they have now to get a ham license?

The HOA guy is a liar or uninformed. See my the section of my post "Q: What types of antennas are covered by the rule?" The rule used to apply to video only but as my post stated "On October 25, 2000, the Commission further amended the rule so that it applies to customer-end antennas that...

"Peralta has 30 days to pay or contest the proposed $404,166 FCC forfeiture."

I remember this as a frequent complaint but thought a firmware update fixed it.

Renewed, refreshed, and refurbished are all secret code for a product that is used and returned, usually for a defect. Nothing is done to them other than turning them on to see if they light up. It's not like a car starter or alternator where they replace the parts that go bad like brushes or...

Lots of credit cards give you an extra year for free and some like the Citi Double Cash back give you 2 years. Plus they will give you theft and damage protection for the first 90 days. Some will even give you a refund for the first 90 days if the store won't take it back, like they only have a...

It doesn't apply for your purposes but if they don't allow ANY antennas they are in violation of the law. "As directed by Congress in Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted the Over-the-Air Reception Devices (“OTARD”) rule concerning...

I wonder if the FCC will make her forfeit her dog.

Speaking of tissue boxes in the back window, did anyone hear the story of the guy who was driving on the freeway with a box of tissues on the rear window deck and got in a crash? When the car came to an abrupt stop from the crah the tissue box continued to move forward from the momentum and...

You are going to pay sales tax if you are buying locally from Zipscaners plus they only have a $14 day return period and 15% restocking fee if you return a non-defective item. Bearcat Warehouse makes you pay return shipping on defective items but you do get a 30 day return period. If you are...

Zipscanners has only a 14 day return period. 15% restocking fee if you return something that isn't defective. They will pay shipping back if unit is defective.

I had a Regency M400 that had a clock. When I turned off the scanner the clock would display. Didn't have the daylight savings function but it did have a clock.
