    Astro Saber Battery 32 hour charge?

    Just picked up an OEM battery (NTN4595D) and on the back of the battery there's a label saying that the battery needs to be charged for 32 hours before initial use. That seems a bit excessive for a NiCad, but why is it? Is there any benefit to charging it for that amount of time? I was under the...

    Naughty "Radio-As-A-Scanner?"

    Hey guys, I've seen a few posts wagging a finger at theoretically programming trunking radios to use as a "scanner only" with p25 systems. Forgive my ignorance, but how does Uniden do it? Is it because there aren't any "I/O" freqs, just banks of freqs, and you risk keying-up in their net? MY...
