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

There’s nothing like the original bearcat scanner. This one is a little difficult to program too many steps. I always have to look up on you tube when I’m going to program it.

Very good device really easy to program there is a little static but good sound quality. It showed up quick everything looked great coming out of the box. One disclaimer I wish that it came with rechargeable battery in it i mean why come with a charger and not have rechargeable battery but besides that great device

I bought 2 of these which were said to be used. They were brand new, still in the box. One still had teh plastic across the face, and the other didnt. Both worked amazing from the start and work BETTER than my Realistic Pro107. I put a stronger antenna (less than $4 on ebay) and can pick up over 50 miles away! I love the computer program feature which got me over 200 channels. I can now pick up everything in the surrounding area and can hear the ambulances! I also pick up fire, railroad traffic, and all the police, county sheriff, and highway patrol. Im beyond happy with my purchase from Amazon!

I bought this exclusively for railroad listening, and it works great. I live near several major rail yards, so proximity to the signals isnt an issue. As with things of this type, programming usually messes with my mind, but there are several great utube videos that make it easy. I programmed all 100 AAR freqs so no matter where I am, I can catch anything going on nearby. Battery life is just fine so far, as is the quality of the radio. I am very happy with this purchase!

Regardless of a lot of the negative remarks about it, I gave it a try. I am extremely happy with it. I did complete the setup via PC and Internet. It was easy as could be. I would highly recommend this scanner to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hand held scanner. Also you can easily find the nondidgital repeter channels for any of the digital channels and it is only milliseconds lag time. Great buy I ordered the used item and it looked like it was never opened prior to me receiving it.

Also, this particular scanner, is not a digital scanner, like it is listed. It is analog. I am on able to pick up anything, in my area. TI just wish as a blind person that the blind erson could program the scanner without sighted help. I dont remember the brand name of the scanner but you can program it and it talks

Scanner works great, we bought it since we were going to a NASCAR race and wanted to listen to the driver and crew radios. Bonus was we also got to listen to the race broadcast (less commercials...it was great hearing the announcers tell what they really thought during the commercial breaks). The problem is PROGRAMMING the thing. While I could get 3-4 channels programmed into the thing, it seemed to be more by luck than by following the directions. I also couldnt really get it to prioritize the crew channels over the broadcast channel (since the broadcast was nonstop) even using the priority mode (at least Im pretty sure I had the channel I wanted on priority. I havent used it since the race (and I plan on using it to monitor police, fire, and railroad) mainly because I want to find either a video or instructions that make more sense.

This is a very good scanner. Reception is very good and you will have no problems if you live with in city limits or are a few miles from a repeater tower. It is also relatively easy to program frequencies into the scanner. The only cons for the product are that you can not program names in for your presets, meaning you will have to be vaguely familiar with the frequency to know who you are listening to. Also the scanner uses a lot of power so you have to charge or buy batteries frequently.

They need to make the antenna NOT be detachable. Mine fell out of my pocket and then when I sat down, I lost the antenna. Like - gone. Where did it go? Well the answer came 4 months later when I had my colonoscopy. Doctor removed it but it was half digested and no longer functioned as intended.

I was expecting this to be easier to program. but its not and finding a book like they used to have without paying an arm and leg is rediculious. They do have a website now that has codes for your area, but it appears that most places have gone digital and cannot be picked up. I hear some stuff but not what I was looking for. I live in an area with a lot of sirens and was hoping to be able to discern if I should be concerned about any of them
