I picked up the 92XLT instead, because of the 900 MHz band, plus it has a charger and batteries. An even better buy than the 72... I find there is virtually nothing in the 25-31 MHz band anymore, or is it the rubber ducky just can't pick these signals up from more than 20 metres, I don't know. I hav...

It's all about who fits the bug isn't it? It's like high powered motor cars, if someone does 250km/h, can't stop in time and kills some poor bastard whilst doing so, will the car makers be held accountable? No, we blame the nut behind the wheel. This bug's design is so simple, you could almost make ...

If you want to spend the extra $100, buy a good quality amateur radio dual-band (2m/70cm) handheld antenna (or external antenna if you want to use the radio in your car) and attach it to a 72XLT. The quality of the antenna is about the biggest determinant of radio performance. I second that. Furthe...

I'm thinking of picking up either the UBC 72XLT (or the 92XLT) by Uniden. I am blown away by the price of the 72 XLT, and am very excited by it's 'close-call' feature, something which I am amazed they hadn't thought up sooner- it makes scanners so much more useful and interesting. I agree with VK6HG...

What happened to 27 MHz SSB?
I had a look at Prestigecom.net.au for some scanners and cordless phones, and see that although 27MHz AM CB radios are still made, there is no sign of SSB units. Doesn't anybody use these anymore?
