      Antonio HarrisonAug 31, 2025
      If your Uniden Scanner is not tracking an EDACS system properly: 1. Ensure that the logical channel numbers (frequencies) for the system are programmed in the correct order. Double-check your frequency resources and reprogram if necessary. 2. Verify that all frequencies for the system are programmed. Check your frequency resources to ensure completeness.

    Why won’t my Uniden Scanner stop scanning?

      Evelyn WheelerSep 2, 2025
      If your Uniden Scanner won’t stop scanning: 1. Adjust the squelch threshold. 2. Check the antenna connection. 3. Make sure that not too many channels are locked out. The scanner has less chance of finding an active channel if many are locked out. 4. Review each channel's frequency to ensure it is still stored in memory and is correct. 5. It's possible that none of the programmed frequencies are currently active.
