What to do if Uniden Radio scanner won’t acquire the data channel?
If your Uniden Radio scanner won’t acquire the data channel, the squelch might need adjustment. Adjust the squelch threshold. Also, the frequency used for the data channel might be missing, so check your frequency list for the data channel.
