Guys,
I had to return my first 500 because I discovered it was 'returned goods'. I got a brand-new one out of a freshly-opened carton today, and it had a much higher firmware & DSP than the first (C-1.3/D-1.2).
I loaded the file that I've been working on since Thursday to give me something to listen to while I continue to add the systems from my old scanner.
I turn the thing off for about 20 minutes to start the laundry. When I come back & see a 'weather alert' for my county on Firefox, I turn on the scanner to see if there's any action on the north side of the county - and nothing. The scanner will not respond to any RF signal!
I gave a bunch of TX tests on my amateur HT's, and the 500 didn't even acknowledge a signal being there at all. I even tried re-doing the firmware & DSP upgrades.
Any ideas of what to check before I package this thing up for a second time to go back to HRO???
