I live just off hiway 94 in Maple Grove, I am just on the East side shore of Rice Lake. I have a two month old
Uniden 396-XT. I had Action Radio of Maple Grove program the radio of me. Since I purchased the radio two months ago, I have still to hear anything from the Maple Grove Police, or Fire. I brought the radio to Action Radio today, and they checked everything out. They told me I live in an area that just gets very bad reception.
I only wish I would of known about this reception thing before I spent $600.00. I asked the radio tech what can I do, ' he said, I could get some kind of antenna that is more powerful at pulling in 800MHZ channels. I told the radio tech, I have it up on ' Craigslist now, I think I am done with this scanning hobby, after 20 years. I told the tech, I thought when you purchased one of these high tech digital 800MHZ 1000 plus channel scanners that can do anything, ' BUT ONE IMPORTANT THING ' WORK; well my new scanner is up for sale on craigslist, it comes with everything. its new. check it out if you want. I live in Maple Grove, I have'nt heard a Police or fire call not once, it can't be that nice out here, the resturants are great.
