rdp-131 reset

[Bigrich]

i have an old but new to me rdp-131 and am trying to set it up. it seems to be stuck in the "now tuning" mode....

How long should this function take ?

Thanks

Normally about 1 minute. If it doesn't complete, it is a sign that you are not properly talking to the radar and there is a problem.

It completely locked up the unit while searching, hand to power off by shutting down the power supply.

any ideas on where to start with figuring out what the problem is ?

Thanks

I would recommend checking why it doesn't see the radar by ohming out the scanner cable to the scanner for open/broken wiring.
