Versatile, compact, and easy to use, the Uniden BC72XLT handheld scanner offers a simple way to monitor the "action" bands, including police and fire channels, NOAA weather transmissions, business and industrial radio broadcasts, utilities, marine and amateur bands, air bands, and more. In short, the scanner keeps interested parties in the information loop. 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.

The scanner also offers 6 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 2 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 2-second scan delay that lets you hear any replies to the original transmission before moving on.
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. 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.

Not For The Scanner-Challenged Person!

"I had a portable (hand-held) Uniden Bearcat scanner about 10 years ago. It was about twice the size of this one, and the window that showed the frequency numbers was very clear without any back light. It was also very easy to program. This scanner's window is dark and you can't see the frequency numbers unless you hit the back light button, and that only stays on briefly, then goes off. Also, the biggest problem..."

"Scanner has poor sensitivity and audio. Clock feature is nice and also the fact that it can operate when there is a power loss as it takes 3-AA batteries. This scanner is made by Uniden America Corp. for Radio Shack. It is good for areas that don't use trunk-tracking. Also, no CTCSS/DCS features. It …"  Read Full Review »
