I have a base BCD996XT setup in my car. The scanner has a cable running out to the trunk of the car with a mag mounted antenna that sits on the lip of the trunk. The other day I decided to get my car washed. Before going through the wash I unscrewed the antenna and removed the mag mount and placed them into the trunk. After the wash I reattached the mount and antenna. All of a sudden I noticed I wasn't receiving anything on all channels, even though I had not touched anything on the radio or removed the screw attachment connected from the base to the antenna cable. Seeing if the antenna had been affected or gone bad, I unscrewed the connector from the base onto the antenna mount for my handheld, everything worked fine. So since it's not the antenna/cable it has to be the pin within the connector of the radio for the antenna connection. I don't have the withal or technical confidence to try to fix it on my own.
Anyone know anything I could possibly try to get it working again? Radio turns on just fine and everything else works, just not receiving. It's well out of warranty as I have had it for over 5 years. If not, anyone locally willing to meet up and take a look at it, will be more than happy to pay for time rendered. PM's are open.
Thanks everyone!
