RH-96 remote head flashing "Processing, Please Wait"

[andyadler]

Hello Paul and everyone. Out of the blue, my RH-96 remote head has begun flashing a "Processing, Please Wait" message every few seconds while connected to my 396xt, alternating with normal display information. I've tried the memory/factory default reset with no effect, checked all connections, etc. Could my control cable suddenly become faulty? The 396xt works perfectly while connected to my desktop PC via the USB control cable -- normal virtual-scanner display via ProScan.

Do I need to send the RH-96 in for repair, order a replacement cable (my likely first move), or is there another remedy I might try?


Many thanks in advance...A.

I'd say it's a cable issue. I had a similar problem with my RH96 a couple of years ago and a replacement cable fixed it. It's the first thing I'd do.

Thanks for your quick note. I've gone ahead and ordered a replacement remote cable from Uniden. Cheap enough at $7.25 with free shipping. Hopefully that'll take care of things.


Best...A.

Make sure CCh Output is turned off.
