FYI, while we're waiting for Uniden to deliver software that will make the dongle usable, the USB port on the back of the BCD536HP is a good power source for a Whistler 1080.

Keep bending ...

Please note that the WiFi dongle can't hold a WiFi connection for any length of time, regardless of a lack of software to use it.

Excuse me, but they don't have to provide a working WiFi dongle, and are not legally answerable when they don't??? It's been six months.



Please don't give me the excuse that it's their supplier. I don't care; I didn't pay their supplier.



Now, as it happens, I don't plan to use the WiFi adapter or the Android app. I just don't like being sold something that still doesn't work after six months.



I believe IBM practiced similar tactics in the 1960s, and the result was a USDoJ investigation and a consent decree.


Again, do not like the lack of info from. Uniden, SELL THE RADIO, and MOVE ON.

Your excused. Rather than whining about it, be a leader and get togethe with WZ1 and start legal action, rather than whining about it over and over on RR...

It's a legal issue.

And AGAIN, it's a legal issue (among others), not a whining issue.

I have no problem repeating this as I see fit, unless a moderator steps in, and tells me that we are all whiners and your position is the correct one.

Reply to orders from on high

Thank you for ordering everyone about.

Just because you think that individual legal action is the only remedy available, doesn't make it true. I think exposing the issues here to a wide audience as possible (I've already taken steps elsewhere), is an effective way of attracting both consumer and [more rarely] government interest and action.

So basically what you're saying is that you believe the RR forum is the place to settle legal issues?

Very strange indeed.

Thanks for the spelling corrections.

Yea, whining about it on a forum is going to get Uniden moving on the wifi and siren app... Good luck with that...

Frankly I could care less if people take legal action against Uniden, it makes no difference in my life...

Hold the phone... You will not use the app or dongle, yet you want them working??? Yea that makes sense...

Good luck on the whining to get Uniden moving on the app and dongle issues...

Oh yeah - And you have how many dozen posts about it in this thread alone ... "NO CONCERN OF MINE !!" suuuuuure.
For a guy who cannot seem to compose a complete sentence without using the word "whine", you sure do your fair share jack - Might want to look into practicing what you preach.

Your master site
Lets keep it civil. We're allowing these threads to provide you guys with an outlet to vent but you need to stay on-topic. Violate that and I will single you out plus close the thread.

Has anyone compiled and published a list of missing features and noted defects?

My dongle and Siren app work just fine. I do not know what everyone is *****ing about.

Do what I do........

Look at the You Tube video from Upman , look at the box, and then click your heels three times and say....

"There's nothing like the Siren App", close your eyes, and magically in your mind's eye you will envision an iPhone 6, yes that's the ticket, No.. a 6 PLUS, yea....big beautiful screen glowing with the colors of a SIREN app fully functional wherein you can listen to your 536 anywhere.

Listen real hard and you can hear it now. The sounds of radio transmissions coming out of your earplugs. You can do it folks, it's not too hard.

You simply need faith, and to heed the Wizard of Uniden.....no, no - pay not attention to that man behind the curtain. All your dreams are here if you only believe....

And click your heels three times....

Makes sense to me. These are the features that supposedly warrant an extra $100 on the price tag. There is nothing in the posts that indicate that he will never use the features, just that he has no intention of using them. Intentions change.

If you purchased a new car and found out that something like the heated seats didn't work, or that the spare tire had a rim that didn't fit the lugs on your car, would you be upset, even though you never had any intention of using them?

If someone would initiate action, I'd be more than happy to donate to the cause. I am currently too busy to give it the attention it deserves, but would jump on board in a class action in a heartbeat.
