Has anyone ever had any problems from cold/dry solder joints in this scanner? I know mine is full of them some of them look like little dull silver BBs sitting on the board LOL!

That's one complaint I have never heard about the 1065. Had mine for a few years now and it is a solid scanner on everything except digital simulcast. I don't remember anyone ever complaining about that but I could be wrong. I do not believe it is a chronic problem with the 1065.

I stopped receiving a lot of traffic I was getting from other counties but, still get them loud and clear on my sds200 so, I know they haven't made any changes or anything since the sds still gets them. I replaced the EEPROM and reworked a couple cold joints on the Logic board while I had it out. Here are the joints on the main board. :)
