And what about radio shack do you not like?? I guess these means you like
the Uniden better???

Yes & not saying am loyal to uniden.
At least you get real tech. support if you need it, in the other hand
'radio shack' i be suprised if theirs such a thing/

if anyone says radio shack is the greatest thing since sliced bread,
their wrong, thiers alot better things.

Radio shack suxs! and NO! sensitivity issues

What does "and NO! sensitivity issues" mean??

Radio shack does suck in a lot of ways, no doubt, but what sort of
"support" does Uniden do? What kind of support would you need? Help
operating the radio? If so, there are better sources on the net, that
really know how to use it.

Or is it their service dept??

Lose your radio, twice, like mine?
Send it back with scratches and more problems than when you sent it?
Like mine?

Take weeks or months (SIX!!) to send back you radio, unfixed?
Like mine??

Have no idea how to fix a design flaw, keep the radio for weeks, change
some parts and make it worse (BC200XLT Low Batt indicator/shutoff)? The
only fix? Take a pair of dykes and clip the circuit out!
Like mine??

That's my experience with 20+ years of Uniden "tech support".

I've sent several over the years to RS, and only one was lost (by UPS,
not them), and a couple times it took too long to get it back, but not
as long as Uniden. Even on Uniden made radios, they seem better than
Uniden..
