BR330t with Unknown Problem

[stuck22]

Hello all. My BR330t used to be a fine scanner. I am using for an Edacs Trunking system in Vancouver BC.

A couple of days ago it just crapped out. I havent dropped it. But I do frequently change the antenna on it. On Signals I used to get full strength I am getting almost nothing now. I have tried putting on different antenna's but still get 0 reception. I cant even listen to AM radio anymore. I have tried re-programming the radio but got nothing.

Any Suggestions?

I would try the WX scan frequencies. If you get nothing there, then it's likely the unit has to go back to Uniden. Just because you didn't drop it, doesn't mean that some component didn't fail.

Did you have your bar antenna turned on when you tired AM?

Tried it and still didnt work. I guess I will have to send it back to Uniden/

Yes.

Sounds to me like you've broken the connection from the antenna connector inside the radio. I'm not familiar with that radio, but if the antenna connector has even the slightest bit of play in it, you risk the chance of loosening or breaking the (soldered?) connection especially considering you often change antennas. I've had this happen to a scanner or two over the years where I would repeatedly change the antenna.
