I've been checking status daily. Mine (436) was received and put in the queue on the 7th, no updates to the status since then. Can't wait to get it back!
Yes but looks like yellowish/white it is not bad as the 436hp tint.
Was your BCD536 radio part of the repair campaign and they repaired your display? Or is this a new batch of new 536 radios that you bought and the radio came with the new display?
I have had my BCD996P2 in for repair because of the function knob was scrolling on its own when I was in the menu and my radio has been at Uniden for over 30 days now. Can't even find out the status on the radio either. They tell me that they are working on it. Whatever. I guess its just a waiting game.
Mine arrived today. New display which is actually worse than before. Color is an odd sickly looking blue with a greenish tint. Tried adjusting contrast and nothing made it better - Contrast setting around 12-13 seems to be best of the worst.
What's the process for sending it back after this "repair" was done? I mean the display wasn't great before but this is definitely worse.
Got my 436 back today and while I'm grateful for Uniden addressing the RTC issue, I have to admit, I think the tint and brightness of the display is worse than it was before I sent it in. The display now has a yellow/greenish tint to it now and perhaps that's why it doesn't appear as bright as it did before. I think the best way to describe the difference is the original LEDs had a cool color temperature and the new ones have a warmer color temperature. Contrast at 10 seemed to work best for me. Oh, and did I mention the display bezel has some new scuff marks on it (very minor though) and there's a couple dust specs on the inside of the bezel? Sigh...
What would you have expected them to do a complete redesign on the display LCD replacing it with a more expensive higher contrast screen?

I sent mine in for the RTC repair. I made no mention of the LCD on any paperwork. This was done by Uniden without me asking for it. My guess is to fix the RTC they did a board swap which included the LCD. The keypad is also different so it was probably that whole assembly.If it was more readable before, I don't understand why it was sent in for repair.
Did Uniden ever answer you in regards to changing the shipping address? I need to change mine also.I need to change the address when you all are ready to ship my scanner back. People are stealing packages and do not want my scanner stolen. Uniden how do I go about doing this?

Mine was received on the 7th also - since then no change from "Received". So much for getting them in and turning them around....
With the complaints starting about the "improved" display, maybe they are busy looking for a solution to their solution....
This starts from the beginning with poor quality control and a poor design of the radio and hardware related problems. Trust me its haunting them right now.
