All-
I purchased a Uniden 996 a couple of months ago and it is being used on a P16 system here in Delaware. I primarily monitor New Castle County Fire. Typically the radio is missing the first part of a number of calls, and in many cases transmissions are completely missed. Approx one in four are missed completely. I have a second radio monitoring a UHF simulcast of the TRS. The radio is not configured to use any priority options or close call. Interestingly the signal strength meter flashes every two seconds although no priority is set. Increasing the hold time does not help. Can any one offer me some advice to correct the situation? From some of the other posts I have seen there may be indication of a firmaware issue, does Uniden intend to publish a patch?
