Digital camera reviews of Uniden BC92XLT Bearcat Handheld Scanner
Digital camera Review: Excellent non-trunking small scanner.
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually purchased the Radio Shack relabelled version of this exact radio for $80. I have also seen it go down as low as $60. I was stunned how much you can do for so little money. I already have a larger pricier scanner, but wanted this one for it's size. It's probably 60% the size of a normal scanner. This scanner does NOT do analog or digital trunking, but I did not need it for my application. The small stubby antenna seems to do the job, but performance will vary wherever you are. Prepare to buy a different antenna if things don't work out. For me, it did not do a great job in scanning unknown frequencies, but that is maybe due to the size of the antenna and where I am. But I went to the internet to find frequencies and programmed them in. Worked like a champ. I will agree with the previous reviewer, this is not user friendly by a long shot. You need to keep the instructions near you at all times. I have used both Uniden and GRE scanners, and I do not think I have come across any user friendly scanner! Maybe there's one out there, but don't hold your breath.Digital camera Review: For engineers and serious radio geeks only

If you always thought listening in to the cops and fire departments might be a fun hobby, you don't want to start with this scanner. The included manual assumes an EXTREME level of familiarity with radio technology and scanner terminology. I've read the manual 4 times now, and I still don't know what half the functions on the (poorly designed) keyboard do. If you're sure you want to get into scanning, buy something simpler, and cheaper.Digital camera Review: Frequency Scanner Mod
Summary: 5 Stars
The Uniden BC-92XLT Can Be Used As A Frequency Counter. To enter this mode Press "HOLD,3 and 0" while turning the Power On. You then can change the group of frequencies you wish to check. To do this use the Up and Down Arrow Keys. The Scanner will display the strongest frequency transmitted. Example: To check a Citizens Band Radio frequency, select The Lo group. If you Transmit on Channel 20 the scanner will display 27.205 MHz. You can check with a Ham Radio, Marine, GMRS, etc. It will display the frequency used. This Will also work on Uniden BC-95XLT & BC-72XLT. Should work with Radio Shack PRO-83 & PRO-84.Digital camera Review: Great Handheld

Great radio. I take it to work and listen to it all day. Programs and runs the same as all uniden radios. You do need to read the instructions. For an experienced radio hound it is no trouble. For the beginner it has preprogrammed searches to get them started quickly. Great size and is well built. I currently own an 898T also and the sensitivity to signals are the same for both. This is the fifth Bearcat I have owned and it has not let me down!!!Digital camera Review: Great Scanner

I found this scanner easy to use. I was capturing police calls in my area within 15 minutes of turning it on. The service search feature is super since you don't have to program the channels. Just search the POLICE band and when you get a call push a couple buttons and this frequency is now in scanner memory. Heck, I have been listening in search mode and catching alot of action all around DFW. Of course once you find and store all the channels you can enter scan mode which is faster and you wont miss any action. I am a novice scanner user and recommend this product.
