That would be SANYO Eneloop, but for the last few years they have been branded Panasonic because Matsushita bought up Sanyo. I have been using Sanyo Eneloop cells for nearly ten years and I'm happy with them. The Panasonics are probably even better. David KJ6QKV

Rechargeable Batteries
I am currently using POWEREX AA 2700 NIMH batteries in my scanners. I have been using these for years with good results. I also used similar Sanyo’s which lasted quite awhile.
However, it seems to me that the POWEREX batteries that I bought in the last two years don’t perform as well as the older ones. I have seen a couple of charger/analyzers on Amazon that may help my power situation. 1. Powerex MH-C9000 $80.49 2. BT-C2400 $26.96 Does anyone know if these things really work as advertised? I would like to resurrect my current crop of batteries if possible. The BT-C2400 price is more appealing. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Bobby

Someone else on another list suspected that the site "prezhost.com" may be a bot or spam site. Since these sort of "helpful" blips have been popping up on multiple lists I would avoid any contact. Perhaps the moderators should look a bit closer at the situation.

Re: SD Change
Joe M.
I've had OEM cards that last long, and some that don't. A quality replacement SD card should last a pretty long time. The larger the card, the more recordings it will be able to hold. If you don't record, you should be able to get away with a smaller card just fine.

Thanks, Joe. I would suppose it depends on the usage how long a SD card should last before being replaced?

Re: SD Change

It means you probably have Quick Keys assigned and not enabled in the profile. You can just enable them using the keypad or enable them in your profile then write that to the scanner.

Just use the CLEAR USER DATA in Sentinel first. Then write your profile.
Here is a 5-minute video setting up a new card. The new one in the video
is 128GB, but the procedure is the same. You can skip the formatting
part if your card is FAT and start at about the 1:45 mark. The last part
shows card installation in an SDS100 and initial operation. You can skip
those, too.
The video does not show writing your Favorites, but you
should do that after the CLEAR USER DATA procedure.
It will be faster if you use a card reader rather than the scanner.

SD Change
Tim Ferguson
Is the anything in particular that needs to be done in changing the SD card in a 536HP? I think I have one that’s having trouble and am going to change it out, but didn’t know if the new one needed any special programming? Or just updating it with Sentinel after installing it?
Thanks, Tim

Sorry. Make that 5.25V, so...

The issue would be three times worse: (3 cells) NIZn = 4.8V to 5.25V Uniden = 3.6V to 4.5V My NiMH cells will usually not exceed 4.1V total. I would not use NIZn based on that. And only 1500 mAH capacity? FAR better off using NiMH which will last twice as long. Joe M.

Re: Alkaline Cells – A Comparison To NiMH And NiCds

The literature says NIZn batteries output is 1.6v to 1.75v, but only has 1500 Mah. Will this adversely affect the power circuits in a Uniden radio that was designed for >1.5v? and how long will 1500Mah last compared to 2700Mah now in the radio? I only buy my batteries from Thomas Distributing and they do not stock NIZn, The couple of places that do sell them are in Euros. They also say my Maha intelligent charger will not work for NIZn?

Re: Bearcat BP-250

The cable is available (sometimes) at Uniden.com and/or scannermaster.com. You can find free scanner programming software by researching the BC259D radio at RadioReference Joel R Kahn Comme dicté à mon chat et envoyé de mon Android. (As dictated to my cat and sent from my Android.)

Hi to the group. Was cleaning out my closet and found an old Uniden Bearcat BP 250 scanner I had forgot I even owned. I charged it up and it still works. I does have the P25 card installed. What I am looking for is a programming cable for this scanner and also is there freeware software I can use to program it. I can't remember what frequencies I have in there and I want to add some more if the ones I want are not programmed in. Does anyone knowwhere I can find these? Any help is appreciated Thanks James M.
