That could very well be the cold solder joint problem. If you send the radio to Uniden, include a note that handling the radio will make it work as well that it begins working after about an hour.
That's why we have warranties. I have also had to replace temperature sensitive components in electronic equipment as well as dealing with solder joint problems. Many of our old RCA Tactec handheld 2-way radios were repaired by resoldering connections on the circuit board.
I’m going to register the warranty and get it fixed and sell it. I just got another sds100 and it works great. I should be able to get some of my money back. Thanks to everyone for the help.
Registering is not needed, but when sending it in, you will need to include proof of purchase, where you purchased the scanner, new, within a year or less. (It doesn't hurt to register it first, but you will need the proof of purchase when sending it.)
