[ScanIndiana] Uniden Repair

[W9FPJ at aol.com]

Jess Spry, KC9IIF, wrote that Uniden would not honor a warranty on a  scanner 
he had. Maybe the time ran out on the warranty but I find it hard to  believe 
that Uniden would back away from the warranty of any of their products.  

I have AOR, Radio Shack Pro 2004 (two of them), Bearcat (reddot  special), 
Sony, and a ton of Uniden scanners and all them perform quite  well.

The newest Uniden scanner I have is the TrunkTracker III BC246T,  Once I 
learned how to use the scanner it has simply amazed me at what it "hears"  and 
what it will do in such a small package. But pretty soon I will have to move  up 
to the "digital" scanner and it will be a Uniden that I buy. 

I took  my BC246T on a cruise down the Mexican coast to Cozumel before WILMA 
ran us back  to Houston, TX and I did not miss too much. On the top deck I 
could  pull  in State side from Texas to Tampa Bay with an extended antenna. 
Kinda reminded  me of Cruising the Gulf of Mexico on the USS Lexington CVS 16, way 
back in 1968,  and listening to WLS Chicago and WBZ Boston when they used to 
play all the top  tunes.

Any way ole Tim means well but nobody ever taught the dude  how to be tactful 
when commenting on an any subject. I too have been around the  news media for 
a long time and I have seen all types of scanners in  use.

Now if someone could come up with a program that could capture and  decode 
the mobile laptop transmissions and make it affordable that would be  something 
to brag about!
