For me, the analog on the same system is fine. Its only with digital.
Its the same here, just digital.

I am also concerned as to why this is necessary...something is still not right here.
As pleased as I am (and I seriously mean that) about how changing modulation from NFM to FM improves the scanning experience on the new Unidens, I am also concerned as to why this is necessary...something is still not right here.
Reading all these posts about changing Auto/NFM to FM has had absolutely no affect on my Motorola SmartZone II system here. Digital TGIDs still decode poorly, miss transmissions, have poor audio. If this work around works for other system types, Uniden really has a problem.
The Type II issue seems to be isolated to a very few which makes me think is is not radio related - if you think the radio is such a disappointment why not simply return it or get it replaced as part of the headphone white noise issue? If I were as unhappy with any product, as some of you are I would have gotten my money back and moved on to the competition.
I sure hope so. But UPMan listed the 5 fixes and none of them will address your (and many others) issues. Mine is useless on my Motorola Type II system.
Actually I did return mine. I know you have had good results with Philly's new P25 system but if you listen to many of the videos on youtube its not a ringing endorsement for the new Uniden scanners. P25 phase II is an important feature as many counties change over. What has me disappointed is the GRE scanners and 396/996 scanners do a better job at receiving digital signals on systems the x36 do not. How can Uniden release a new scanner that doesn't do better than its previous line?
Everyone has their own opinion and I respect that.
Can you post a link to where he posted these fixes? I searched but did not find it. Thanks
