I have owned a Uniden Pro 640e AM/SSB radio for about 4 years now and
really like it. I use it in the car and used to have it hooked up to
an
Antron 99 for use as a base station when I still lived at home.

Anyway, a few weeks ago the green LED segments that display the channel
numbers have started burning out. There are 3 or 4 segments that don't
illuminate when the radio is first turned on (summer or winter same problem)
and sometimes one or two of them do eventually illuminate. I can still
tell which channel I'm on as long as no more of them go out. The other
part of the display that is the signal meter works fine.

Does anyone else out there own this radio or know someone that does? If
so do you (or they) have similar problems. Unfortunately the warranty
has been expired for about two years now.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have used my Uniden Pro 640e since the 19990's! When the display segments quit working I found on opening the radio up that the solder joints had come undone. Upon re-soldering them, the segments were once again lit and have worked to this day(April 27, 2014)!

With the Price of a new CB being under $120.00 - only you can decide if it is worth it to put $60 - $80 into it to repair it.
Bob's CB shop could probably do the repair.
