Digital camera reviews of Uniden BC92XLT Bearcat Handheld Scanner
Digital camera Review: Great Handheld
Summary: 5 Stars
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: Hand Held Scanner

I enjoy using this product for it`s clarity, ease of operation, and the fair price I paid for it. It involved free shipping and arrived before the projected time. Very satisfied and would recomended to anyone interested in a good product from Uniden and sold and shipped from Amazon.Sincerly, Skokie.Digital camera Review: Unit 57 Proceed Code 3 to a 5150 at......

Hello All,
I purchase this scanner as a replacement for my BC200, which died after many many years of faithful service. I did a LOT of research online before I purchased this unit and when all was said and done, this scanner had what I was looking for at a price that was not hard to swallow. I read some of the reviews here and was a bit leery about being able to understand how to program the scanner BUT I can say quite confidently that IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL FOLKS! If you EVER owned a Bearcat scanner then programming, this unit will be old hat to you. This scanner still requires the old "hold-channel number- function-program-enter frequency-enter" key chain to program each channel. SURE, this may seem like a lot but for those of us using Bearcat Scanners this is the way it has been forever.
Now onto the features, I love the fact that you have all the frequencies already pre-programmed into the unit AND, the service band search is nice BUT why did Bearcat have to make it SO HARD to enter the search mode. My old BC200 had a button marked SEARCH that you pushed to start searching. My question to Uniden is why did you ELIMINATE the SEARCH BUTTON? In addition, some of the buttons perform multiple functions depending on which function of the function button your enter. (Are you confused yet?)
If Uniden is reading this, perhaps you could send me one of your scanners PRIOR to market for review. This would accomplish two things. One , it would give someone that has been a loyal Uniden / Bearcat fan for years a chance to see just how USER FRIENDLY your new product is, and second it would give you a chance to make corrections before market launch and avoid some negative feedback and drive higher sales.
Ok, enough said. If you are looking for a nice little scanner with a lot of bang for the buck, then I think you will be happy with the BC92XLT and all the features it provides. If on the other hand, you want a scanner that you can program and run while drunk off your butt and half brain dead, then this is not the scanner for you. My best advice to you is this, download and READ the instruction manual PRIOR to purchase and make your mind up for yourself.
Ciao!

Great product. It provides me with the information I need in my crime prevention volunteer work. Digital camera Review: Easier than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
My previous scanner experience is limited to preprogrammed scanner use only...even then not much.
Bought to use at NASCAR tracks this year. While I'll play with the "Close Capture" feature (allows it to automatically tune in to active nearby frequencies) at the track, it took less than 30 minutes to program all the primary car, Nascar and broadcast frequencies into the scanner. (130 frequencies)
The "Service Scan" feature is also very easy to use; allowing you to quickly scan through Police, Fire, Air, or Marine frequencies.
Pros: Lightweight, large memory, relatively easy to use.
Cons: It does take a few minutes to become familiar with the button combinations required to activate the functions. It is not intuitive , but becomes easier to use with minimal practice.
