I can no longer recomend the purchase of Uniden products.
Been dealing with a broken GPS jack for 4 months or soon bought radio year ago December. Keep on hearing about super slow repair times and sub par work anyway. So go to check on getting replacement jack because it is a simple replacement and they say;
"The internal parts would not be a item that we stock as sellable. If you would like to send this in for a warranty repair you can send the unit along with a copy of the sales slip and the issue with the unit to:"
It looks like a 4 conductor mini USB jack used on many digital cameras and other products. How is it that they will sell speakers, volume pots and power jacks and other internal componets but not the GPS jack. I
thnk it is time to rethink sourcing Uniden products for my uses, though they have some good features having a parts embargo like Radio Shack has on the PRO96 will not fly. Maybe will find a broken camera at Goodwill for parts.
Think I have found the supplier in China but they do have a large minimum order but samples may be requested. May be time to reengineer the HP-1 with a 4 pin 1/8 jack or a DB9 and fix what Uniden engineers could not do.
