A old handheld scanner antenna jack was damaged possibly while being shipped. I respect the Uniden excellent support team. Top notch. They value and respect us as a family.

Do you really believe "all your friends" were like "damn, how come trentbob isn't smashing that Like button on all my posts??"

And you've stopped following the thread, but you're here...???
Ouch, what did I ever do to you.. I just dipped my beak back in after not reading for a while is all. Looks like you got a few reactions at my expense.

The reason for my post was my way of saying this thread is long overdue to be shot and buried.

I do not appreciate being called a liar by a company I have been loyal to for 30+ Years.

We've all heard/read this from you already. It is now time for you to either man up and take responsibility for your actions or move on. I cannot be the only one who is sick and tired of a whining 57 year old, YOU , carrying on like this. YOU are solely to blame for all of this. You were too lazy to go get the box Uniden used to send your radio in the first place and to cheap to pay, was it $ 6 dollars to get a proper box at FEDEX. At this point if you choose to sever your ties with Uniden you will be happier, most of RR will be happier , and Uniden will be rid of you and this tedious nonsense.

WIN. WIN. WIN.

Cheers, Sarah

No I get upset when it gets hi-jacked like it did, wouldn’t you?

First off those who do nothing bad add grief to a situation that is causing another human being grief , ( by the way the scanner has a sentimental value as it was one of the few things that I took with me when we had to evacuate our home and I could save from the wildfire that destroyed our home in 2020) reveal the darkness in their hearts, something to ponder as you continue to respond with nothing but criticism, I bet your not feeling so good now about what you and others had to say, i bet you wouldn’t have the guts to say it to my face now that you know what know, secondly it’s interesting to note in the reply below he’s talking about the same kind of box I was going to send it back in originally note the BNC damage and the fact that Uniden is still using the same type box since 2010! You can’t make this stuff up and I’m negligent, give me a break!

“Sent my 996T packaged in its original packaging with a bad headphone jack and it returned dumped in a cardboard box with a single wrap of bubble wrap with the antenna connector sticking through the side of the box. It was destroyed to say the le. Had to return it a second time for replacement of the BNC”. From Repair center for uniden scanners

That was 12 years ago.

I do not feel sorry for you with ot without the wildfire. It's called LIFE. Stuff happens, get over it and move on. And I would say that to your face, but I hope I never meet you because you don't sound like someone I would be interested in meeting.

I am 77 years old so have 20 more years of reality than you do bud.

BTW "was going to" and "did" are two different things.

Yes it was more than a decade ago and they are still using the same crappy method of shipping, guess you missed that important point. Hmm
Thank you for revealing the darkness that lives in your heart.

Oh stop. You are exhibiting classic signs of victim mentality. Woe is me, the whole world is against me, nothing is ever my fault, blah blah blah.

Again, the plain fact remains that you did not properly protect your investment when shipping it back to Uniden. Everything else is irrelevant. End of story.

And you and your ilk are exhibiting classic symptoms of gaslighting, shame on you, or do you have no shame?

Imagine if you spent a fraction of the time you've recently spent here, defending your poor decision, and packed it the way any rational adult would have. You'd still have a 145-odd posts for a count and about a 500 to a thousand less people that think you're displaying all this attention seeking behaviour.

Uniden customer support issues still isn't trending, you're trending - and it ain't good...and my offer stands to buy the unit off you for the price of the repair. Ball is in your court.

It's only a matter of time before you rage-quit here and go on to QRZed or reddit, and bash RR. You'll be back in 6 mos to a year as a guest or a lurker with a burner email. Count on it.

Pointing out that you used a crappy method to ship the scanner is not "gaslighting", it's called TRUTH TELLING. But again, you are the victim here, so nothing anyone says is going to matter. I guess 95% of this forum are gaslighting, black-hearted pricks who are really into schadenfreude. 🤦‍♂️

In any event, I'm starting to feel like I'm piling on, so I'm exiting the conversation. Best of luck.

Smart people always take pictures of hardware before shipping. This CYA and helps service depots verify issues like the one your having.

I am genuinely concerned for your mental health, and well being. This type of stress is self-generated and not good for you. Please stop posting regarding this issue.

Generally, when someone digs themselves into a whole the optimal course of action is to put down the shovel. Oddly enough, you did that only to rev up the power excavator.

You don't agree with me? Curse you with the devil!

We've left behind Karen and the Better Business Bureau. Now we're in religious nut job territory.

Just logged on to RR to get some database info and to browse the forum to see what everyone is up to, and honestly did not expect that. Some people like to use religious wording as a scare tactic when they've backed themselves into a corner.
