New SDS200

...Monthly payments???

That's ridiculous. Sorry, but for Uniden not to have permanently fixed this issue by now is bordering on negligence and/or incompetence.

Either way, it does not speak too highly of Uniden's commitment to their customers, IMHO.

OH No. would that imply there are 1566 other bad radios in the system some where?

I was going to get a new SDS200 for Christmas, think I will hold off a little longer. Question to the group when ordering a new radio can you ask for one manufactured after a certain date? Or is it just the luck of the draw?

If you order from a busy, high-volume seller, you'll get a reasonably fresh unit. If you order from a place that only sells one-two a month, you're more likely to get a shelf-warmer.

When I get time I'll do Static Discharge's hum fix. Looks simple. I'll let it run for a month to see if anything pops up that I may have to send it in for repair!

Most of them have already been sold for a while, since we're nearing the end of 2019.

Never heard of them. Do you have a link? I don't see a radio dealer with that name on Google. You don't mean Scanner Master do you? I would not expect Scanner Master to have old stock. Thanks.

Sorry. Your correct, Scanner Master. I have always ordered from them.
