UNIDEN UBC3500XLT Feature introduction

The best of the handheld scanners that I have used so far, The UBC3500 XLT works from 25 - 1300 mhz. I use a moonraker 25DB amp & an omnidirectional Scanner master antenna on the side of the house. I also use a Watson w-881 wideband super gain antenna when mobile. In this video, I show the setup & some of the functions to set up the channels, one of which is the UNIDEN close call function.

I've got this scanner and use it with the supplied rubber duck aerial. To my ears the sound is muffled and there's a ton of hiss with every airband transmission I pick up.

I honestly prefer my old AOR 1000 that I got in the 80s. More sensitivity on the stock aerial and far better sound quality.

@ChorltonM21 I had the same problem with almost every scanner, moreso in the past few years. From what I read up on the subject, it's to do with interference from things like WIFI routers & electrical interference in general. You are'nt going to get a good range & clear signal nowadays without using a preamp & an external antenna like a scanking or dipole.
