I have a Whistler 1040 scanner that was working great until about 2 weeks ago. For some reason on a random Thursday all my channels went silent. I was able to get Analog channels restored thanks to help from some guys on here but my digital continues to have issues. If I power off my scanner and leave it off for a while (hour or two) I will get traffic on my digital channels for about 2-3 minutes when I power back on. However, after about 2-3 minutes the digital channels go silent and i get nothing until I repeat the power off/on cycle. Any one have a clue what might cause this? Is it possible that somehow the digital conversion is overheating or getting over powered or something like that?? Any help would be appreciated.

Send it into whistler, sounds like a heat related issue.
