Originally would only receive transmissions properly for around 30 minutes, after which it would fail to pick up further radio chatter. A problem that runs alongside the one I have just listed is the unit will normally scoll through the different frequencies extremely quickly, but once it stops failing to pick up on anything it'll scroll through the different frequencies at a snail's pace and takes ages. I've already tried changing the batteries but this made no difference. Any idea what I can do about this to resolve the issue?

Hello,



It's a Uniden BC92XLT - the Antenna's fine as I've already got a hold of a spare and tried it...it makes no difference.



I strongly suspect it's something to do with the software/hardware inside the unit itself, whenever the scanner no longer picks up radio chatter the scanner at the same time takes ages to then also scan through all the frequencies, but all the time it is able to pick up radio chatter it'll scan through all the frequencies in an instant...that's what makes me suspect it's software/hardware related, but I think I'm safe in saying that the Antenna isn't what's at fault here Hello,

Hi there, you need to program it you can follow these steps to program your BC92XLT

Press 1 then Press Hold (You are now on Channel 1)


Press Func then press E


Enter Frequency


Press E


Press Hold two times (You are now on the next channel)


Repeat Steps 2 through 5

Nope, happens with all frequencies. I'm from the UK and over here only Air Traffic still uses Analogue systems to communicate with Fire, Police and Coastguard now mainly using Digital systems. I only tune into the Air Traffic system but yes it's the same for all services Nope, happens with all frequencies.
