Resetting the Scanner (Clearing all Memories)
To reset the scanner to factory defaults, turn off the scanner. Then, while holding down 2, 9, and HOLD, turn on the scanner. All scanner memory contents are erased.
Scanner Reset: To initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on.
Important! This deletes all preprogrammed data. You cannot restore preprogrammed data that has been deleted.
It used to be that you could reset a Uniden scanner by holding down the #2 and #9 buttons while turning on the radio - that MIGHT do a factory reset for you. Let me know.
You can try a system reset (press and hold 2,9, and MANUAL while powering up), but chances are that the display is shot. You can try a local repair shop if you have one that you trust, but I recommend contacting the service folks at Uniden.com for a price quote on repairs.
The BC72XLT is a USA model scanner, while the UBC73XLT is produced for Australia and New Zealand. The two are very similar, but not identical. There is a slight difference in frequency coverage (it's a bit wider on the UBC), the BC comes with a 110-volt AC power supply (wall-wart) for USA use, while the UBC comes with a 12-volt DC vehicle power supply.
FYI, here are links to the operating manuals for both models:
