Versatile, PC-Programmable Handheld Scanning
Easily Monitor "Action" Bands
You can use the BC95XLTB 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.
PC-Programmable Memory
The BC95XLTB features a comprehensive memory that holds up to 200 programmed channels over 10 banks (20 per bank). You can program frequencies into the scanner's memory either manually or using optional PC software available from Uniden.
Preset Service Banks With Channel Scan/Search
The 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 BC95XLTB 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.
Don't Lose Your Settings
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 Features
The 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 is also backed by a one-year warranty.
Note on Model Number
The "B" in the model number BC95XLTB refers to the box packaging that Uniden has transitioned over to from a clamshell on this product. The Uniden BC95XLT is the same exact product as the Uniden BC95XLTB and all devices themselves will display the model number BC95XLT.
