If it's a design issue, that is only factory "repaired" by installing the same copper plate they mail out, then ALL units would be "affected" by the design issue.

To answer your original question, no, Uniden has never released a serial number of when they started installing the hum buster. It does not appear they ever will. Some users report that with the hum buster factory installed and new firmware the hum is gone when not receiving any transmissions, but the hum reappears when a transmission is received. Others report no hum in any scenario. Some have even suggested that it is a physiological thing based on your hearing ability. The saga appears to remain the same...pay your money and take your chances. Though the hum free odds are probably better with the hum buster already installed than without. :unsure: Make sure you buy from a dealer with a fair return policy (e.g. no restocking fee.) That is about the only way to protect yourself despite all of the anecdotes reported here. Enjoy!

Hi all, I'd like to support my local HRO but they don't know if their stock has the hum fix, do we have a serial number beginning range that is safe (has it factory installed)?

Thank you
Jen
Jen-Your best source on the East Coast is Bearcat Warehouse and their number is 877-568-7226 and ask for Paul. Their stock is always fresh and they do a HUGE business with Uniden American Corporation.
No sales tax plus free shipping on all digital scanners. Check out their site at www.bearcatwarehouse.com
Have a nice Thursday.

I'll bet her scanner arrives on Saturday. And we want to hear a critique when you have time to check it out Jen.

With all due respect, with all the talent on here, I'd just make myself look an idiot if I even tried to comment on it, all I can comment on has been the purchase/transaction at this point. :)

Jen,

Hope you have been reading more than just what is on RR? Like the OM, ETR BCD436HP/BCD536HP DSM from Mark etc...??? Soak it all in! :)

As soon as I figure out what "M, ETR BCD436HP/BCD536HP DSM from Mark" means, (I did catch the BCD436HP/BCD536HP part however) I'll let you know. ;) Watching Unification G5 videos at present...
