OK, on another thread, I mentioned the current issue many owners are complaining about. Undeterred, I went ahead and bought one. I currently have it up and running on my 24 hour live feed. If you listen in the background, you can hear the noise. I have heard that the Uniden 436HP has a similar issue.

Currently, Uniden is aware and some owners have been told that they are awaiting a corporate decision. I hav't had any complaints submitted yet from any of my listeners. If there is no fix from Uniden...I'll send it back. It's ridiculous that this $700 FLAGSHIP sounds like a TURD.

edit: $785 turd. I had to pay for the DMR upgrade.

Take a listen...It's louder in the shack.

Uniden has announced an upcoming fix. They state that its a hardware and software mod. Apparently, the hardware mod is done by the user. Some owners are reporting that shimming the top cover so it makes stronger contact with the chassis, greatly diminishes the noise. Firmware update resolves the rest.
