Unfortunately here in Australia where I live (in Melbourne) the Police have just changed to a digital system and it's encrypted so you can't listen in anymore :-( Not even on this scanner as the transmission is encrypted. Eventually most transmissions from Police will be like that here...and the fire brigade is now encrypted too. Enjoy listening to the Police and emergency services while you still can before they go digital and encrypt everything. Nice scanner - looks & sounds great!

[RvLanee]

[mac777daddy]

[scaleop4]

there are no problems that I have as of yet,

i will say one thing the audio coming from it is clear,

and its very sensitive to.

[scaleop4]

i have the uniden UBC3500XLT awesome scanner.

[thescallykiller]

i have just bought one today, any problems you had with it? any interesting frequencies?

[chris9531]

this scanner is like looking at heaven!! I would do anything to have this scanner!

[themaritimeman]

You couldn't have said it better! They're even expensive on eBay!

Hi, these radios are small and cool. I sold mine last year because of signal sensitivity, short batt life & low audio. Uniden wont fix the problem, but, came out with the XT model. It has more chans and ESK decode, another way to up the sales. If these radios were around $300 I would buy me another one.

[joeyalbergo]

Just bought me.

[KYLake]

What external speaker are you using? Could you mention how you like these two Uniden scanners comparred to your new gre scanner?

[tdhmoose]

Hi KYLake, I also have the GRE-500 handheld. Radio Shack has their model-106 (same radio). It uses a different storage format for 39,600 channels & talkgroups called (objects) as to Uniden's 396. Totally way better with ESK trunking, very impressive. I have mine for over a year now. No room to list all the details. Depending on the person's life style, some still would buy the 396.

[themaritimeman]

He's probably using the built-in speaker.

[importedbriar]

man this is soo cool, i wish it wasnt 500 doll hairs...i will prob get the

TrunkTracker III

[ThatOneGuy8904]

[PCEAGS]

COLORADO POLICE SCANS, SOUNDS GREAT

[kd4adv]

Man, I love that cool blue backlight for the keypad and the main display :)

It would be cool if it were user selected to change it to different colors/shades and intensities.

[HarrisonRHW]

I agree with that... especially with the lower models too such as the BCT-15 and the BR330T. Currently the only one that does it is the BCD99T (the one to the left with the green backlight.. also changes to red)

[CptIncaino]

Does this cover intercom too? lol

[lips107]

cool! Where can you get this?
