Uniden Bearcat UBC355XLT Desktop/Mobile Radio Scanner

 

Analogue scanner

 

 

 

Purchased in July 2020. I haven’t used it much, however I did list it on Trade Me last December and the winning bidder picked it up that evening. At 6AM next morning he was banging on my door “you sold be a FN faulty unit”.... OK, news to me. Likely a case of RTFM as it is a bit complicated to tune manually – it came back on the same frequency I left it on. I used a BNC -> RF adapter and ran it off my UHF TV aerial. I couldn’t get a signal from the supplied antennas, thought that may be down to my location -. So those may be a) faulty, b) crappy, or c) perfectly fine and my location is too far from the transmitter. Link to sound file recorded last week off the UHF aerial – seems ok for a “fn faulty unit”. https://mega.nz/file/pctGjbJL#p2sqRF15ogx-1y7ut05AKZc1cq-e5Ctm_G3IKASH3RM

Firstly, there's plenty to listen to that isn't emergency services.

 

Secondly, Police in the main centres and Ambulance (at least in Wellington) are digital... but the rest of NZ and pretty much every other service out there is still mostly analogue.

Remember my old Bearcat.... was fun tuning into everything going on around the place. Remember when there was an idiot threatening to fly into Sky Tower, all the chatter from emergency services trying to clear out the tower/casino.
