Why do these clowns keep doing this? Make it a guessing game. I guess they only want their "select" "factory" shops to have the correct information and parts. Many of us have been servicing the CB & export radios for decades and really don't care to waste time with these silly games. I guess they are more interested in selling a 30-cent part for $3 then helping shops service their equipment anymore. More customers ask me every day why there are so few service shops around anymore. Many old-time techs are just saying to heck with it. This is one of the reasons. Having to work on equipment with no schematics (like the Newer Uniden & Anytone radios) and no information sources except ourselves or those who might be kind enough to share their reverse engineered findings or take days to do it ourselves. Really isn't worth the trouble. Most of us know what the RT1 is now but they keep doing this private label crap. I am so done with this garbage. I guess the 11-meter industry is getting more like the cell phone bunch. Everything proprietary and trying to keep all servicing in-house as well as parts sourcing. Uniden has a problem with their displays on their BC880, BC990 models and they won't sell you the part, but you can ship the radio to them and they will repair it for a flat rate of $60 (at least they did, maybe more than that by now. If you call them about a schematic, they will tell you they are proprietary and won’t release them.
