==Operational==
 
*My BCD436HP seems to have "gone deaf"
 
**This is a situation where your unit has been operating without any issues, the user has made no changes to lists, the unit has not been moved, and the departments have not gone encrypted.  In other words, everything looks fine but the unit just does not receive anything anymore.  You will say, "It was working yesterday but today I'm not receiving anything."  If you cannot even receive NOAA broadcasts, your unit has "gone deaf" and will need to be repaired.  This is a repair covered under the Uniden one-year from purchase warranty and involves replacing the Q2 and Q3 circuits.  When you ship the unit, describe the problem as "No channel reception."  Instructions for shipping may be found [http://www.uniden.com/product-repair/page/productrepair here].
