## Description

Product Description          Uniden BC72XLT Handheld Scanner (Black)             .com           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 (including rescue and paramedics), NOAA weather transmissions, business and industrial radio broadcasts, utilities, marine and amateur (ham radio) bands, air bands, and more. In short, the scanner keeps interested parties in the information loop.  A versatile, compact, and easy to use handheld scanner.    View a control/display diagram. Click here for a larger image  Versatile Handheld ScanningEasily 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/SearchThe 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 InterferenceA 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 SettingsAnd 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 FeaturesThe 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 BoxScanner, AC Adapter, Flexible Antenna, Belt Clip, Frequency Guide, User's Manual  Uniden Handheld Scanner Comparison

    Good basic scanner
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2010*

This was my first scanner and I have been pretty happy with it. After reading the instructions, it's very simple to program things in and get listening quickly.The CloseCall and priority channel functions are neat. They check for really strong and close signals and a priority channel per bank respectively, but they both create almost a second of break in the audio every few seconds to scan for signals, which is annoying.I've also found that the 100 programmable channels go quickly. I've got almost all of them full and find myself wishing I'd gotten the BC92 with 200 channels.Other than that, it's worked really well for me. The small antenna isn't the greatest, but for its size it pulls in signal very well and seems very sturdy. I got the scanner mostly for the air band. I live about 4 miles from our local airport, and the antenna just barely brings in the tower. ATIS if you hold it right and listen hard. Pretty much nothing on the ground. It's picked up airplanes almost 100 miles away, though, talking to the ARTCC, but couldn't hear the controllers there. I can hear the police and fire broadcasts from town, as well as the rural paging. One city I live near has gone digital, but the other has not (twin cities... kind of odd), so I can hear half of the public safety traffic. Local ham repeaters and NOAA also come in well.[...] is a great place to go to find lots of local radio frequencies (and a good place to check to make sure you don't need a digital scanner to hear what you want to).I got a Scan-Force-Tele Section antenna to use with it, with mixed results. Better signal strength than the stock antenna, but it has FM interference on the air band.I haven't used the batteries for more than a couple hours before recharging, so I can't say much about the battery life. They haven't died on me yet, so that's pretty good. I do have to take the batteries out of the scanner after a bit of charging, because they start getting really hot. I don't think that's a good sign. I think it's trying to overcharge them.I may have more testing information this summer, with vacation and maybe an air show.So all in all it's a good basic scanner. I'm considering getting a digital scanner to pick up a wider frequency range as well as trunked signals.

    Railroad scanning
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012*

I have owned this scanner for 3 years and it has been able to meet all of my expectations. Primary uses have been for freight train riding and police channels. The light weight and simple design make it ideal for storing in a back pack. When needed for quick use it fits well in a flannel shirt chest pocket with the antenna broken down. I have travelled across the country on one set of AA batteries but that is when only turning it on for a few minutes at a time. The scan feature on the Uniden Bearcat is easy to program. I have it set to the range of railroad frequencies for which it rotates through in about 2 seconds. Useful to know what the train is doing on those random long stops in the middle of nowhere. Multiple times this scanner has saved me the cost of a ticket. Well worth the investment.

    This is more programable radio, than scanner
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2010*

While this is my first handheld scanner, I have access to various benchtob/lab scanners (with price tags going above the $30000). Of course, direct comparison is not possible, and while we're not speaking about sensitivity or features, this unit lacks very critical function - this is not "scanner", a device where you can turn knobs, adjust various parameters, such as frequency, wideness of filter, attenuation and so on. This unit is very unpleasant for use while "programming" when all frequencies stored, it starts working pretty fine and will provide you with pure enjoyment. Now it stands in the corner of my garage and provides me with background ambient, while I'm working.If you going to take this unit to live event, then please note, IT EATS BATTERIES LIKE HOG! So, couple of plain AAs won't last you more than 3-4 hours. Consider this when going to live event, and take pair of spare batteries with you. Pair of lithium batteries will provide you with about 2 days of active usage, but 10 pack of such batteries will cost you same as this toy. So your first action when buying this scanner - get yourself at least pair of high capacity NiMH rechargeables. This unit can recharge them, while working from AC outlet.
