So you will never buy a Chevy Ford or Dodge car as they all have recalls? I do not see you posting about the faulty ham radio equipment others are buying. So all of your experience is hearsay as you do not know fist hand how the scanners were treated 24/7 by the owners. I am most likely your senior as I have owned and operated scanners for over 45 years starting when I was 14. I also have a electronics degree have a ham license and passed the FCC 2nd class General Radio Telephone License. Apple and Samsung both have had recalls and phone problems are you going to stop buying them also. I had rather buy a scanner that works like I want it and the company fixes it if there is a problem with it than buy a scanner that does not fill a purpose. Like I said you do not own the scanner in question so you are hearsay because you can not account for the 24/7 treatment of said x scanner.

dont have time right now to refute your entire post, it is going to take too long, as the thing is riddled with argumental fallacies. i am more than happy to do this later. but for now, let's begin with ONE argumental fallacy called appeal to authority. i am older than you, have owned more scanners (which i doubt u have, but even if u have) therefore my argument is more valid than yours. lol. then you bring up your degrees, etc. lol. I have a Ph.D. therefore what? man, i will gladly take this apart one fallacy at a time later, but i need take my dogs out as its going to rain real soon if it has not already. this will be fun.

your argument about the lottery is known in logic as a straw man or a red herring. i suggest you look that up as i am not here to teach logic. it was 1st hand experience, saw them come off the ups truck and helped the friends program them. cant get much more 1st hand than that. i also suggest u check the other forums. ops still receive old stock and sometimes from amazon. not that it matters, i dont play the lottery. it is a stupid tax. hahahahah

I think your post is in response to the wrong quote.

It has been documented that there has been issues with the 436 and 536. There has also been issues with Amazon shipping faulty units that have been previously returned by buyers and then re sold to unsuspecting consumers when they should of been returned to Uniden. There was a post recently of a Uniden scanner sent back to the factory for repairs and when the owner received it back it had damage on the antenna connection which was supposed to be replaced. Crap happens. And it has been well documented on these forums.
