Uniden Bearcat BC75XLT Handheld Scanner, 300 Channels, 10 banks, Close Call Technology, PC Programable, NOAA Weather, Aviation, Marine, Railroad, NASCAR, and Non-Digital Police/Fire/Public Safety

Purchased to use for nascar race seeing it was about the same cost to buy as to rent headsets for the weekend. Worked great all weekend on one set of batteries.

It is a classic and it works just as well as the one I purchased in 1997, it is just smaller and lighter. Works well, volume and squelch now have a dual switch action on the single knob-clever!

I have had the BC75XLT for about a month. It is easy to program; light weight; and reasonably durable. It is comparatively inexpensive. Unfortunately, the reception is not that great. Using the supplied rubber duck antenna, I had a hard time receiving UHF police broadcasts from surrounding towns. I live about a mile from my local public safety radio repeater. The reception - even from this short distance - was not that great. I bought a separate whip antenna. That improved the reception. Also, this unit seems to use up the batteries quickly. This scanner will drain two AA batteries each 10 hour period.

Did not come with an ac charger... eats batteries after only an hour or two....

Nice unit! Though, I am disappointed that it seems that everything these days is made of plastic. I feel if this were to drop onto the floor, it would crack very easily. We bought this because recently crime in our area has been on the rise, which is so sad being this neighborhood was very quiet. This actually alerted us when a break in was occurring in our neighborhood, and we were on the look out when we heard it come over the scanner. What I like about this unit, is that it is very easy to set up, and instructions are included. You will also receive a charging cord and this does take batteries so you can take it with you. The buttons and screen light up when you press and hold the lower left button. No two way communication with this one. This arrived on time, and well protected. If you feel that my review has helped you in any way, please hit the yes box below this review. I never know if I am actually helping others. I have posted a picture of the unit and hoping Amazon will keep it here.

Owned several Uniden BC60XLT scanners unfortunately no longer manufactured, excellent scanner. Purchased (2) BC75XLT Handheld Scanner as gifts allowing my family to listen to aircraft frequencies when Im flying. Why did Uniden complicate the operation controlling squelch, volume? Why mess with a good design, not a product I would recommend. Push this knob, pull here to activate another, ridiculous

Good reception in my town even with stock antenna. Using store bought energizer rechargeable batteries, they last plenty long enough. The only annoying thing about these is the low battery alarm beep that cannot be disabled. The alarm beep volume is determined by the current output volume so if you have it set high, the alarm beep will be somewhat loud too. Its a very frequent beep.

SO happy I purchased this tiny little powerhouse! I have always had a large desktop scanner or even a few base scanners (huge, heavy things). This is right on my nightstand next to my telephone and I enjoy it every single evening without fail. Easy to SEARCH then find the frequencies you like and set them up in the BANKS so you can SCAN. I didnt have any problems at all and know I will enjoy this while out in the back woods or camping or taking along on trips. Excellent purchase.

Lots of one star reviews by people who refuse to read the instructions. You need to save every frequency you want the scanner to listen for, its not automatic. Most areas have dozens per agency so download the free software and use the usb cable and a computer to do it.
