[Scan-DC] Uniden 796 and Communicating with PC

[Doug Kitchener]

Hi Mike, thanks, yes, I did check the menu settings; am convinced that something has gone kaflooey in this radio, but thanks for watching my back... weirdest thing I've ever seen.  Am going to double-check again shortly, this really has me snookered, but as you say, nothing ventured...

Best,

Doug
