I have a strange problem with my 396T running on batteries. I've always charged the batteries in the radio and have never had a problem, untill now. The "low battery" indicator and "beep" won't go off. The batteries are fully charged, and will last 8 hours with continuous use, but the low battery indicator and beep are constantly on and won't stop untill I plug it into the charger. Another battery related problem is with the backlight. I have the light set on "infinite" If I'm running on batteries as soon as I turn on the backlight, the radio shuts off, like the batteries are dead. If I turn it back on and leave the light off, it keeps working, although the above mentioned problem still exists.
Anybody else run into this and maybe know a cure ? Think it's time to send it to Uniden ? Radio was purchased, used, in 08 and has been fully functional until now.
