Okay, experts. I am stumped:
I have had a BCT15X scanner in my Ford Escape for years with no issues. It was mounted in a Havis console, hard-wired, and the antenna was a multi-band scanner antenna mounted on the drivers front fender due to height restrictions in my garage.
Recently, I purchased a used Uniden BCD996P2. I used it in my house for a couple of months with no issues. I then decided to mount it in my Escape, replacing the BCT15X. The same antenna and power cable was used for the new one as the old one. I literally unplugged one scanner, and plugged in the other.
A couple of days later, I took a 7-hour round trip road trip. The scanner performed flawlessly. Since then, however, anytime the scanner picks up traffic, it will shut off and restart. I can't copy a full transmission ever.
Any ideas as to what is causing this?
