Uniden Scanner Test Modes for the original DMA scanners

Before We Begin

• The usual warnings apply; RR is not responsible if you damage your scanner, use at your own risk, etc.
• Some of these cause the scanner to lock up. If this happens remove the battery / power, put it back in then turn it back on. Make sure your scanner is backed up using your software of choice before you do any of this.
• You can find support to discuss these at the Uniden Tech Support Forum
