Received my brand new WS1065 yesterday. Set it all up by evening and programmed a few frequencies into it. Worked great. Turned it off and left it alone for about 30 minutes or so, came back and switched it on and it’s as if it forgot what to do. All the bright orange lights came on but the LCD display was just lit with no words. Played nothing but static. Pressing any buttons did absolutely nothing. Tried every possible power troubleshooting method you can think of, nothing. Requested for a new unit to replace this defective unit. Left it switched on but unplugged for the night.
Next morning (today). Woke up. Switched it off. Plugged the power back in. Switched it on. Everything worked as it should. Internal software booted up and everything was fine. Programmed some more frequencies with Win500 and uploaded to it and used it for a couple more hours. Turned it off for dinner. Had some dessert. Played with my camera for a bit. Turned the scanner back on and same as last night. As if the internal software was just wiped away and it doesn’t know that it’s a scanner. Just bright lights, lit LCD with no words, nothing but static.
Anyone else experiencing this? I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area if that helps. Is this just a defective unit?
I actually cancelled the replacement unit today since it was working again but it happened again...
I’m leaving it switched on but unplugged again like last night and will see if it’ll recover before I sleep tonight. If not then I’ll leave it like so for the whole night again and report back tomorrow.
