loud continious tone when it stops on a channel.

This happens on every channel?

Does it happen with an earphone or external speaker?

 

[Atown11]

This happens on every channel ,external speaker.

Are you using battery power or external power supply? Bad batteries with a high internal resistance can cause a receiver to break into oscillation. Does the tone change with volume?

 

[Atown11]

I changed batteries,didnt help.The tone dont change with the volume.

Try doing a factory reset.

Does the tone stay on for the entire length of the transmission? If not, you may have accidentally programmed alert tones. Some P25 systems transmit a 4 khz tone. You can go to Settings in the scanner menu and turn on the P25 LP Filter. If that doesn't fix the problem, leave the filter off.

Any suggestions on what to check

TRY ENTERING YOUR LOCAL WEATHER CHANNEL TO SEE IF THAT WORKS.

Since none of those worked, you probably will need to just send it back to Uniden to be checked and possibly repaired.

Your caps lock is stuck on.

I feel you may have programmed it incorrectly. You may have just frequencies in and not talkgroups? Putting in the control channel frequencies will give you some noise and those frequencies do not carry any voice traffic.

If you can supply us with a video, picture or even the programming file?

Or there was a change done in the radio system your monitoring.
Does it sound like this? if so, that's mototrbo digital that it cant decode without acquiring an upgrade from Uniden.

What system are you trying to monitor? It sounds like you may be entering conventional frequencies instead of frequencies in a trunked system.
