I am thinking about buying a Uniden UBCT8 for around the 30mhz range, the 300-400mhz range and all the typical Emergency services. Does anyone have any experiences with this scanner? I currently use commercial radios for all my Firies, police but i don't have a decent scanner that'll do 30mhz or ambos (413mhz). I need something with excellent sensitivity, good audio and good shielding.
Any comments about this scanner?
Cheers

Just a reminder that scanning in the 30mhz range may be illegal depending on what your listening to
My icom ic-r5 was picking up the 30mhz range really good.
I suppose i cheated by using a 16 element beam spinning around every couple of days to see who else around town was using cordless ******!!
But even at that, a ic-r5 is a portable.
Perfomed perfect with a beam.
I wouldnt recommend using uniden for sensitivity, try some other *real* brand.
You could post a ad up on vkham.com (free service) looking for a scanner matching your details.
Sorry i wasnt much help.
