Product Details Brand Uniden Color Black EAN 0050633057469 Manufacturer Uniden Model BC895XLT UPC 050633057469 Variation Description Black Features 300 channels 12-band coverage Trunk delay, lockout, and search and scan Programmable search Auxiliary tape output Product Description The industry's first Trunk Tracking base scanner. Trunk Scan and Search - Monitors the following systems: Motorola Type I, Type II, Type III Hybrid. The Uniden Bearcat TrunkTracker BC 895XLT is a scanner for the serious radio enthusiast. The BC 895XLT is packed with an impressive array of features, such as trunk tracking, delay, lockout, search and scan, Continuous Tone Control Squelch System (CTCSS), one-touch weather scan, and severe weather alert. In addition, this scanner has a strong frequency range of 29 MHz to 965 MHz. Setting up the BC 895XLT was simple--we attached the antenna, plugged in the AC adapter, and turned on the unit. With so many function buttons on the face of the unit, using the BC 895XLT may seem daunting without consulting the manual. However, the manual is incredibly user friendly, with definitions of all functions, pictures, and step-by-step instructions for performing certain applications. It also includes a foldout diagram of the face of the unit with descriptions of each button so you can easily reference while skimming the manual. With 300 channels, the BC 895XLT provides more programmable channels than most scanners. Organized into 10 bank keys that hold 30 programmed frequencies each, the scanner can also be preprogrammed with 10 priority channels. We had no problem performing basic operations and programming active frequencies into selected channels and banks. Features such as scanning, channel lockout, weather alert, and searching were relatively easy to figure out using the operating guide. More advanced features such as CTCSS operation and trunk tracking, while more complicated, were also accessible. One nice touch is the squelch control, which raises or lowers the 'Squelch Gate' so that you can control what kind of signals get in and eliminate the constant hiss that accompanies weak signals. We also appreciated the adjustable LCD backlight, which makes the display easy to read in almost any condition, and the desktop stand, which allows you to see and use the scanner at a more viewable angle. The auxiliary jack lets you connect an external recorder so that you can automatically record any activity on a specified channel. There is also an external speaker jack that can be used to connect headphones for private listening. The unit ships with a Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide that lists some statewide and city frequencies used by police and fire departments, weather services, forest rangers, as well as ham radio operators and miscellaneous frequency assignments. You can also order the Betty Bearcat Regional and National Police Directories or Mr. Scanner's Local Frequency List for more in-depth listings including rescue squad, local government, forestry radio, marine radio, aircraft, amateur radio, and federal government frequencies. If you're interested only in simple radio scanning and tracking, then take a look at a lower-end model. But if you're an expert radio operator looking for a super-powerful tracking device, you'll be thrilled with the BC 895XLT. The folks at Uniden thought of everything when designing this one. Pros: Easy-to-understand operation guide Simple programming Trunk tracking and CTCSS for more advanced users Easy-to-read display Customer Reviews for: Uniden BC895XLT 300-Channel TrunkTracker Scanner Rating - Fast 100 Channel / Second Scanning I have been using this scanner for about 3 weeks now. I own 4 other different models of scanners -- 2 from Radio Shack (PRO-92 / PRO-2067) and 2 from Uniden (BC 245XLT and BC 235XLT). I like the BC 895XLT because: - Fast scanning of 100 channels / second. The Radio Shack (GRE made) scanners that I own only go 25 channels/second. And while they are more technically sophisticated, I miss the scan speed which is desirable if you ... Read More Rating - Great scanner but can be hard to program This is one gadget that you will need to read the manual before using. They squeeze a lot of options into this scanner. If you need to monitor a trunked system this one will do it. The only problem is that it could take you a while to figure out how. Overall, I highly recommend this product. Rating - This is great! This is one of the more well built scanners by uniden. I especially like the computer interface with the optional cable that you have to buy. I also like the built in CTCSS board. Over all this is a great buy! Rating - SUPER SCANNER This scanner is excellent for local coverage in your area only. Understand, most local frequencies cover a certain area, so dont be heartbroken if your unit does not reach over long periods. A great start up for scanner enthusiasts. One more downfall, searching for trunked system can be time consuming. Be patient and have fun. see more reviews See More Uniden products
