Airband Scanner Problem ...Please Help!

[JakeS]

Hello,

I've had a look around the forums and feel this maybe the most relevant section to post in. A little off topic but I wondered if any spotters could be of assistance.

I've dug out an old GRE PSR-282 airband scanner and used it without issue for many months recently but now when turning it on the display shows 219 - 00 for a few seconds before the usual bank of frequencies shows up with my local LBA tower on channel 1 which I can hear perfectly fine.

But when I press BANK2 (AIR) and try and scan between other programmed channels RAD/APP and ATIS e.c.t. the scanner is unresponsive and fixed on channel 1. I've tried resetting the scanner to remove any lock function, taken the batteries out for a period of time, replaced them and have Googled the potential error code 219 - 00 with no luck.

Kind Regards

....BUMP!

Hi JakeS, sorry but I'm not familiar with the GRE-PSR-282 scanner. I owned the Yupiteru 125 and the 225 and never had a single problem with that make or model. Hopefully somebody out there might have an answer for you.

I have a uniden ubc125xlt and inputting heathrow frequencies.
The frequencies go in ok, but the radio decides that it will only remain on for about 10 secs before switching off, which means i am ripping my hair out trying to get the tags attached

Looked through the manual but nothing about extending auto switch off times

Has anyone else got this problem OR know of a way of keeping the power on for a few minut
Thanks
