How to add a frequency to a uniden ubc92xlt - Uniden BC246T Handheld Scanner

An older uniden for a frequency range between 100 and 199 mhz may expect you to interpret the frequency being shown as 1 followed by other digits on your display. For example a frequency of 145.350 may expect you to mentally add the printed "1" and digits 45350 giving the total frequency. This saved the manufacturer from having to purchase another digit to display the frequency since it is always 1 to start with.

Are you looking to replace the antenna on the unit or hook it up to a larger separate antenna?

The antenna connector should be a standard BNC, there are a range of antennas to choose from either way.

Remove the battery for a hour. Put the battery back in. Press down at the same time and hold the #2 and #9 key when you switch it on - that will do a factory reset on almost all Uniden scanners. Then release, push manual, program, enter frequency of the local weather station and you should hear it.

Programming and operating the UBC92XLT is fairly straightforward, and detailed instructions can be found in the factory manual. If you don't already have this document, you can download and print it here:

The above manual is for the USA model BC92XLT, but the two scanners are nearly identical.
