UBC785XLT

The Uniden UBC785-XLT is a scanner that covers the most important segments of the V/UHF with the exclusion of the bands 512-806 MHz and 960-1240 MHz. This scanner is aimed to those who follow the traffic of services as firefighters, aeronautics, PMR in general, in addition to amateur radio activities, with this objective the lack of coverage affects very little the use of the receiver. Always in the philosophy of offering a scanner already predisposed to certain types of radio communications, the Uniden UBC785XLT proposes three band-plans to be chosen by the user, these profiles link certain frequency ranges with the mode (AM, FM and WFM) and the tuning step. By default, therefore, by setting a channel in the VHF aeronautical band, the scanner places itself in AM with steps as rightly required in this context. Another peculiarity of this Uniden-Bearcat concerns the type of installation, for the overall dimensions and power supply it is easy to use it either in a fixed position or in a vehicle. The mounting bracket, similar to the one that is combined with certain CB devices, further facilitates mounting.

Another important feature concerns alpha tags. This function allows to replace the traditional information shown in the display, such as frequency and mode, with a freely definable writing. In this way the scanner operates in a more anonymous way, preventing others from reading sensitive information. Again the use within a vehicle, with the problems of the case, is the reason that made this option developed.
