Uniden UBC-125XLT 500 Channel Handheld Scanner Pre-Programmed Version

Programmed version so easy to use OTB. Having fun playing with other features and getting to learn scanning. Standard antenna okay but got a high gain antenna as a replacement as well as a base antenna for greater range given my normal location is not the best for LOS comms.

The radio arrived well packaged. I made it a priority to read the manual & got the batteries placed into the radio & on to charge which took approximately 12 hours (perfect for overnight charging). I took the time to read the manual cover-to-cover so when I fired up the scanner this morning I was already familiarised with how the scanner functions. The radio fits very comfortably into my hand, the build feels robust along with the keypad buttons. Prior to purchasing I read a review by another Uniden Scanner customer who recommended the Moonraker Skyscan Antenna rather than only using the Rubber Ducky Antenna. I might very well still use the Rubber Ducky if I’m in close proximity to “radio action” like being very near an airport. The pre-programmed radio bands & the powerful Moonraker Skyscan Antenna made it a slice of lemon drizzle cake, a delight, to immediately start receiving transmissions. FlightRadar24 on the desktop, Gatwick Airport Air Traffic Control on the scanner - perfect! Also Heathrow Airport coming in on full signal strength! This is a new hobby for me & the quality build of the Uniden Scanner combined with pre-programmed bands & the option to save additional frequencies gives scope for me to go further as I become more confident with using the scanner. In summary: I 100% recommend this scanner, especially for people like me who are new to this hobby. I’ll be taking the Uniden Scanner out & about with me during the summer months & beyond! Treat yourself! Retreat into the man/woman cave & explore away to your heart’s content!

Very compact design. With great sound quality. Isn't as hard to learn as some have stated. Whatvi will say is that you will need a good aerial. As the rubber duck supplied is next to useless. I bought a moonraker skyscan aerial, which really brought my scanner to life But this little beauty performs well. You get 2 2300n rechargeable batteries. Which give around 3 hours battery life. I bought 4 2800n rechargeable batteries, which have increased battery life to around 5 hours. All said, this is a great scanner. With some superb modes. Great value for money.

Excellent service plenty of information before and after from DIGITEL TECHNOLOGY LTD and it was wrapped by their dog [don't ask], plus free sweets. The Uniden UBC125XLT is a versatile and highly capable handheld scanner that has impressed me with its performance and ease of use. This scanner is perfect for both beginners and experienced users, thanks to its intuitive interface and robust feature set.

Hard to get into a site do not understand the instructions when you are in your 70+.

Top class scanner one of the best on the market for the price

I received this radio which was packed with care. The radio it's self was a bit of a steep learning curve but after reading the manual and watching YouTube videos I learnt quickly how to use it. The radio was already preprogrammed with everything I needed. As an aviation enthusiast I immediately attached it to my airband antenna and headed to an area of high elevation. The scanner didn't overload and the ATC was extremely busy. I was able to Rx both controller and aircraft for aircraft over Scotland in Northern Ireland. The receiver handled my external antenna fine, and the audio was good. Take time to learn this radio and you'll enjoy it. P.s thanks for the sweets 😁!

That it does take a little time to master but it is a great receiver.
