Digital camera reviews of Uniden BC72XLT Handheld Scanner (Black)Digital camera Review: "Rock Solid" In Oregon Summary: 5 Stars
I researched scanners for a week. And I live in Grants Pass,Oregon , About 50,ooo people, so I guessed right,no trunking devices. The Bearcat72xlt was a perfect choice. I downloaded the manual so it would be letter size. punched holes in it and put it in a binder. It was 63 pages long and gave perfect instructions what to do.I also downloaded the frequencys with no problem for my county. I live in Mountains and hilly country and programing was 10 times easyer than my mp3 player. I only installed 10 Frquencys in a 100 channel scanner. All are very clear!! My first scanner was in 1977 and was a crystal 8 channel scanner.This is my second and get ni-mh batterys. Do not pick this one for Nascar, It is the 4th from the top rated by Uniden..... Perfect choice For my needs!!!It has way more feauters than I need. I highly recomend this scanner!!!!!!

Click here for a larger image Versatile Handheld Scanning Easily Monitor "Action" Bands You can use the BC72XLT to monitor police and fire departments (including rescue and paramedics), NOAA weather transmissions, business/industrial radio, utilities, marine and amateur (ham radio) bands, and air band transmissions. Of course, scanning the 32,000 available frequencies can be time-consuming and frustrating, which is why Uniden added such functions as Close Call capture technology, which instantly tunes to signals from nearby transmitters to help you detect and identify local signals, and a comprehensive memory that holds up to 100 programmed channels (10 per bank). Preset Service Banks With Channel Scan/Search The scanner also offers six preset service banks, with preset frequencies for police, fire/emergency, aircraft, ham, marine, and weather, making it easy to locate specific types of calls. And should you want to regularly monitor a few specific channels, you can designate them as "priority" channels. The BC72XLT will then check those channels every two seconds while it scans each bank, so you never miss an important transmission. Other scanning functions include 10 programmable search ranges for finding unlisted frequencies in your area and a two-second scan delay that lets you hear any replies to the original transmission before moving on. Avoid Interference A scanner is fairly useless if you can't decipher the transmission, which is why the BC72XLT is outfitted with triple-conversion circuitry. The technology virtually eliminates any interference from IF images and clarifies the selected frequency, so you needn't strain to pick up certain words or phrases. Don't Lose Your Settings And thanks to the key lock, you won't accidentally change the programming while carrying the scanner in your pocket. Add in a memory backup that preserves stored frequencies even if the scanner loses power and an easy-to-read, backlit display and you're ready for virtually any scanning situation. Additional Features The scanner comes with a flexible antenna with a BNC connector, ensuring adequate reception in strong signal areas (a separately sold external antenna will further improve reception), along with an AC adapter. As an alternative, you can power the scanner using two AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries (the latter can even be recharged while in the scanner). The unit measures 2.75 by 4.5 by 1.25 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box Scanner, AC Adapter, Flexible Antenna, Belt Clip, Frequency Guide, User's Manual
