BR-330 questions

[Napalm]

Does anyone still use this scanner? It seems so old now, but was so advanced when I first bought it.

It works fine still except that I don't have temporary lockouts like the BCT-15. It's a shame there will be no more firmware updates

Oh, and the DC in socket no longer works. I took the radio apart yesterday and the socket doesn't seem lose or anything... but then again theres a splogde of black potting compound on the back of the DC socket.

Is there anything I should try and do to fix it? It could be oxidised in there too - the contacts don't look too shiny.

I use my 330 at work so it is scanning and then part of the time it on tone out. I use the 330 so much I have worn the rubber sides smooth in in spots. I do use it for races when I go to Fontana. I don't think I have never seen another 330 in use there. I always say the 330 is a hidden jem that got over looked because there was a NASCAR logo on it,

The BR-330 is one of the few radios to get 512-764MHz, which is a prime spot in the entertainment world for mics and headsets.

I have two of them, I do think the Nascar logo was a turn off for people. It's a great scanner if you like the 396's but don't need digital on it and the other minor features.

Before I got my 396T's I took them everywhere. Now I have them hidden under my desk and control them with Proscan.

I sent in one of mine a couple months ago for a DC issue as well and they fixed it. However I didn't open it so I'm not sure if that makes a difference because it's out of warranty anyway. You should ask them.

Where'd ya send it, Uniden?

I just have a screen protector on the display and sharpie'd over it

I love my '330. I would like the 346 or a digital scanner eventually what with the SAFE-T system here in Indiana.

Yeah my rubber sides are going the same way As is the dust cover on the PC port.

Yep.

Just expect your scanner to be gone for a couple weeks to a month and no tracking capabilities. But, the flat rate repair fee plus the fact it's being done right is why I always send them to Uniden versus local shops. I think it was $45 and two way shipping if I remember correctly.
