Uniden UBC-125XLT Handheld Scanner

Product Information

The Uniden 125XLT is an awesome little radio and I am extremely pleased that I bought it. I have been a radio listener most of my life and wanted to upgrade my scanner to one with alpha tagging and computer programming capability so that I could more easily manage the memories. ARC125 is the only software that supports importing data from the popular Radioreference.com USA and UK database and is by far the best value for your money!

So far I am pleased with the product and look forward to a long trouble free future. My previous scanner gave me over 25 years service! Read full review Only ARC125 has the Radioreference.com* live frequency search option (for US, UK and NL frequencies). This scanner is cheaper than the Uniden Bearcat UBC3500XLT (now discontinued) but is still capable of receiving both civilian and military aircraft transmissions. It will also receive emergency, marine, amateur (ham radio) and other communications. The new Uniden UBC125XLT is a compact 500 channel handheld scanner, which covers 25-88MHz, 108-174MHz, 225 – 512MHz and 806 – 960MHz with 5/6.25/10/12.5KHz frequency steps.

Only ARC125 supports the Radioreference.com* import option. Programming your new scanner was never this easy! But in reality this equates to several days use of the radio using it for about 2 to 3 hours of light use a day.

The .grp group file can be shared with the new ProgBC Uniden Programmer to program Uniden DMA scanners (BCT15(X), UBC3500XLT etc) with the same group profiles. The Step size will depend on the scanner and some can scan through a list of frequencies using the following steps:- 5, 6.25, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100kHz. Using the correct Step size will mean that you don't miss any frequencies. Recently the spacing between airband frequencies has been reduced from 25KHz spacing to 8.33KHz spacing so as to increase the number of frequencies available. Therefore your airband scanner should have a step size of 8.33KHz.Power Requirements: 2 x AA Alkaline Batteries (3VDC) or 2 x AA Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries (2.4V DC) or Connect to PC with USB cable (5.0V DC 500mA), Programming software for this scanner is also available, please see our product code PRG-ARC75 or see the accessories tab. ARC125 is the most versatile memory editor available on the market including cut/copy/paste options! The UBC125XLT has a good-sized screen and a keypad as well as many different features such as 'Close Call' which will detect nearby signals. This sensitive hand-held scanner comes complete with an antenna, AC adaptor, belt-clip and manual. The frequency range is 25-960 MHz (with gaps) and has a maximum of 500 Channels.
