      Cole GuerreroAug 13, 2025
      If you are experiencing improper reception on your Uniden Scanner, check the antenna and its connection. If you're using a telescoping antenna, ensure it's properly extended. If you are in a fringe area, you might need an optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or local electronics store. Also, check and adjust the scanner's settings.
