Both issues should be on top of the list. Then go from there. If it requires a repair campaign for those affected then so be it, just get it done and get past it.
Thanks.
I think the most disappointing issue is that, in regards to the cold solder joint issue, this still continues to happen on at least some of the newer production units. Also, far too many of the SDS100's sent in to repair the J401 defect are coming back not repaired, or else they fail again within an unacceptably short period of time. It appears that the repair techs are only fixing what jumps out & slaps them upside the head, and leaving other problem connections untouched.Both issues should be on top of the list.

Just an opinion, no need to reply.
This is correct on all points. Older units, particularly the first 1000-unit production run that shipped with the small battery, have many more bad joints than newer units, the problem rate has merely gone from 50-90% bad down to 1-5% of the joints being bad (failing the probe test shown in my YouTube videos).
A valuable lesson to be learned from the 536 repair campaign and the extended length of time it took to establish it. The necessary changes were made and affected units were repaired regardless of expiration of warranty. Hey if Uniden wants to farm out some of the work to an independent contractor, whatever.
Thank you looking into this.
The dimming screen on the 536 is actually still coming up and Uniden is no longer fixing them for free but charging for them.
Yes. You've provided a means to toggle Favorites Lists by first showing an alpa list menu. You've provided a means to toggle Systems by first showing an alpha list menu. I'm asking to be able to toggle Departments and Sites using a similar menu that displays alpha lists.
All of my Systems, Departments and Sites are assigned Quick Keys. Sites are numbered from 99 in reverse order of Departments. Now that they're assigned, with alpha names, I should be able to bring up a menu showing those names so I can toggle them (rather than having to look at some pre-printed cheat sheet).
I'm back ordered on GPS modules, the ones I had on hand sold out in one day. I have another batch on order, but tracking from Taiwan doesn't show details until it gets to the USA.
I disagree. What is needed is to be able to change that default of 2 seconds to whatever a user wants. Then we are still able to change individual channels from that setting. Right now as I build my Favorites Lists I have to manually edit each and every channel because I rarely use 2 seconds (but I do not want a global setting either).
Why wouldn't you want a global option so you can set the default delay to your preference when scanning the database? You can't change the default delay for database channels at all currently, and manually editing hundreds or thousands of individual channels is a huge PITA. A global option is the simplest and most elegant way to adjust the default delay setting for all channels (other than ones manually set to something other than "global") simultaneously.
At the end of the day, I want each channel to have an individual control for the delay. It always amazes me that someone thinks they know what default setting I want, and do not provide a means to change it. Delay is just one example. If, after you've provided a means that I can change that default from 2 seconds to whatever I want, and you want to ALSO add a Global setting, that's certainly OK.
I'm proposing adding "global" to the list of existing channel delay options, just like you have for SDS filter settings. Not forcing you to have the same setting for every channel. You're arguing against something I never said, and wouldn't want, either.
