So I received my new 1098 from Amazon today.
Tried to update the CPU, put me right into brick mode.
Called Tech support, downloaded the tool, was able to restore the CPU.
BUT, it does not receive much of anything. Gets some local strong analog and that's about it. Can't get it to trunk for anything. One mile from JFK airport, can not lock onto the Port Authority EDACS system. Can listen to the NJSP control channel, it sounds good and strong, does not receive thing one.
All this while my other Whistler/Radio Shack/GRE 800 series scanners are chattering away, along with my 2 996 and 996P2 etc.
NOTHING is wrong with my setup, OBVIOUSLY I know how to program these scanners.
I also am unable to update the DSP. EZ Scan says there is no DSP, but it won't install.
Looks like this POS goes back in the morning.
Too bad, love the remote head but I paid for a scanner not a paperweight.
