Hello All,I purchase this scanner as a replacement for my BC200, which died after many many years of faithful service. I did a LOT of research online before I purchased this unit and when all was said and done, this scanner had what I was looking for at a price that was not hard to swallow. I read some of the reviews here and was a bit leery about being able to understand how to program the scanner BUT I can say quite confidently that IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL FOLKS! If you EVER owned a Bearcat scanner then programming, this unit will be old hat to you. This scanner still requires the old "hold-channel number- function-program-enter frequency-enter" key chain to program each channel. SURE, this may seem like a lot but for those of us using Bearcat Scanners this is the way it has been forever.
Now onto the features, I love the fact that you have all the frequencies already pre-programmed into the unit AND, the service band search is nice BUT why did Bearcat have to make it SO HARD to enter the search mode. My old BC200 had a button marked SEARCH that you pushed to start searching. My question to Uniden is why did you ELIMINATE the SEARCH BUTTON? In addition, some of the buttons perform multiple functions depending on which function of the function button your enter. (Are you confused yet?)
If Uniden is reading this, perhaps you could send me one of your scanners PRIOR to market for review. This would accomplish two things. One , it would give someone that has been a loyal Uniden / Bearcat fan for years a chance to see just how USER FRIENDLY your new product is, and second it would give you a chance to make corrections before market launch and avoid some negative feedback and drive higher sales.
Ok, enough said. If you are looking for a nice little scanner with a lot of bang for the buck, then I think you will be happy with the BC92XLT and all the features it provides. If on the other hand, you want a scanner that you can program and run while drunk off your butt and half brain dead, then this is not the scanner for you. My best advice to you is this, download and READ the instruction manual PRIOR to purchase and make your mind up for yourself.
Ciao!
