BC246T "love it"

[forskip]

Received my BC246T last week. I was so excited that I stumbled around for about 5 min just trying to find the button to turn it on. Once I relaxed and realized that I had to hold the bottom for several seconds to activate the Radio, I was OK. I had previously downloaded the software ARC246t and received the registration key. It was a piece of cake putting in the frequencies. I have enjoyed this unit more than my Radio 2600 or BC210. MY only problem was that the unit "locked up" on me. The radio was working fine until I walked through the motion sensitive doors at my doctors office. I call Uniden that night, they kept me on hold for about 25min. When I did get through, I was told that I needed to be transfered to the "Scanner Section". I was again put on hold. 10 min later, a voice recording tells me to leave a message and they will get back to me. Before I can leave a message, another recording states that the mailbox is full. I hang up.
I then boot my ARC246T software, delete all of my frequencies and reload them. In less than a minute, the radio is back to normal.
THANKS UNIDEN, FOR NOTHING.

The best way to get questions answered is post here (in the BC246T forum) or in Yahoo groups at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BC246T/. You will find all the expertise you need from other users, and a Uniden representative that really knows what he is talking about monitors the group and will answer questions.

Have fun, it's a great little radio

I have had my 246t for about a day and 1/2 and I have no complaints....yet. I love this radio. I have the demo version of the ARC software, I liked it so much I went ahead and bought the full version. I also bought an antenna from waltel with a mag mount to go on my truck.

Haven't gotten the antenna yet, but I am enjoying this radio. I love the size! And the battery life.....awsome. I was getting 5 hours tops with my 250D. I bought some 2500 mAh before I got the 246T the first set I used with the backlight for 8 1/2 hours. The set I am using now has been in for 11 hours with no backlight and still going.
