Upman, I have greatest respect for you and Uniden. I own many Uniden scanners! I am waiting, cash in hand, for the bugs to be eliminated in the 436 and 536 models.. I have, at least, a dozen radio hobbiest friends doing the same wait... If a reliable scanner, from Uniden, is not produced soon, I, & they, will look at other companies for late model scanners.. Sorry, I don't mean to sound condescending, I just have a "need to know" on current events in my town/area.. I can't remember a time in my history when I felt so isolated from current information. This further panics the need for it.. It would help to know that Uniden would battle the FCC, on "our" behalf, on issues of interest, at least on occasion.. Sinc, Hop
