TO: ALL CONSUMERS, DEALERS, AND DISTRIBUTORS REFERENCE: SCANNERS NO LONGER REPAIRED Updated Thursday 7/2/2020 The following list of scanners may not be repairable for lack of parts, service information, difficulty in repair, not economically feasible to repair, or lack of company support (company out of business or do not support the products they sell).
Our Company Note... Just for the record!
Lately we have faced numerous late model scanners such as the Uniden Bearcat BC780XLT, BC250D, and Radio Shack Pro-433, Pro-95, Pro-94, and similar scanners that manufacturers are not supporting! Radios such as the Radio Shack Pro-2067 with VCO related problems and reliability issues that these companies ignored. It would be very easy for companies this large to offer trade values for more reliable equipment but while customers complained, no one listened. I find it very unsettling for any product where people are paying upwards of three to four hundred dollars for radios that may only last a few years. Radios such as the BC780XLT were very sought after that now sits in bins here because someone at a higher level in Uniden, either does not care or never anticipated the need to keep these radios going. You cannot convince me that management cannot decide to restock parts known to be common failures.
Given our Country's current economic status and a time where companies need to make an extended effort to keep and reassure customer satisfaction, I find it truly fascinating that these companies think that they are going to be able to survive treating customers this way.
Update 2/26/2015. Guess I was right! Add GRE and Radio Shack to the list of comapnies who couldn't figure this out!
You would think that my opinion should be the more broken radios, the more I repair. However, everyone loses when parts are obsolete and companies do not support what they sell.

The following individual Scanner Parts are no Longer Available: Notice regarding popular GRE and Radio Shack models using the combination, volume, squelch, on-off control. This notice pertains to Radio Shack Models: Pro-106 Pro-197 Pro-651 Pro-652 Pro-2096 Pro-97 Pro-164 Pro-2055 and similar models This notice also pertains to GRE Models: PSR-500 PSR-600 One of the most common failures of these models is the combination on-off, volume, squelch control. They may have broken or bent, become scratchy or intermittent. The original control marked as RG82BS-2A1-B103-0EC2, or GE-03D-0200, or GR-08D-1220 has been almost impossible to secure. For years we were able to order them from either Radio Shack Parts or directly from GRE Corp. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. While we have been able to contact the original manufacturer of these controls, they are requesting a minimum order of 1000 pieces to have them re-manufactured. Obviously not an investment we will ever re-coop. 10789808 KC-0385 keyboard Pro-43 20-300 KC-0038 Realistic Pro-2006 Keyboard 20-145 TK10420 TK10420 IC#2 Pro2006 20-145 10800050 EL501 Electrolum Display Pro-2006 20-145 GE-84D-5158 Power Transformer Pro-2006 20-145 LNY124L05 LCD Display Pro-92 20-522
