A great piece of kit,

This review is from: Bearcat UBC30XLT Ultra-Compact 200 Channel AM/FM/WFM Handheld Radio Scanning Receiver (Electronics)
I just bought one of these as a gift, but decided to keep it myself! Having used a dedicated Yupiteru airband scanner (VT-225) since 1992, looking for a replacement has been difficult. There are very few specialist airband scanners available nowadays, as most scanners seem to cover just about every frequency under the sun and have millions of features that will never get used. This is great if that's what you are looking for, but I was looking for a radio that excels at one task: airband coverage.That's where this little Uniden comes in. It's perfect for the job. On paper the specification is as good - if not slightly better - than my Yupiteru, which was recognized as the best dedicated airband scanner you could buy. This little radio has all the features you need in a very compact unit. It's all digital so slightly fiddly at first working out the volume, squelch and storing actions, but once you have the hang of it it's a doddle. I put a slightly better antenna on (it's a BNC connector which is another plus) and the reception performance has been brilliant. Don't be fooled by the price: if you think by paying more you are getting a "better" scanner, this is often not the case. You are paying for more features and more frequency coverage, which means that the more expensive units are actually worse at airband performance than this set. Just compare the specifications. If you are looking for a proper airband set that has great sensitivity then look no further than this brilliant unit. It is brilliant value for money. Well done Uniden!

Neat little job,
This review is from: Bearcat UBC30XLT Ultra-Compact 200 Channel AM/FM/WFM Handheld Radio Scanning Receiver (Electronics)
Bought this as a back up to a general use scanner. I wanted an airband-dedicated receiver and this fitted the bill. Tried using different aerials as recommended in other reviews, but found no improvement. Only drawback is that if you use it to scan lots of channels, the batteries die within 5 hours, these being high-capacity rechargables. Have used it to monitor just one channel thouh for a couple of days and batteries still in green sector on my tester. Receiver pulls in quite a few signals,audio quality good to with 400 mw speaker.

At the Amazon price it's very good value,but benefits from an improved antenna (an added extra) Overall wellworth it as a 'starter unit'.
