Many thanks for your videos this helped me out a lot,your videos are really clear and your tutorials are spot on,thanks for covering this scanner im all clued up for the new uniden BCD536 HP that's not out yet over here thanks to your vids,just need the scanner lol,thanks again.
The Close Call function has two modes for displaying the received frequency. In the first mode, you need to have time to press any button very quickly, to see the transmitter frequency. The second mode makes a temporary write to the databank memory register called CLOSE CALL HITS. The most difficult thing is to find and see what is written in this bank. Before each start of the CLOSE CALL function, it is necessary to enter the Close Call menu, find the Scan Hits function, go into it, and select SCAN HITS ON and press the PgmE button. After you start the Close Call only mode, and after, when you receive the carrier frequency, you can view it later, while the Close Call function is running, press the SCAN button, then immediately the HOLD button, you turn the knob at the top of the scanner counterclockwise and find the treasured data bank called CLOSE CALL HITS, and there are all your received frequencies. Функция Close Call имеет два режима отображения принятой частоты. В первом режиме нужно успеть очень быстро нажать на любую кнопку, чтобы увидеть частоту передатчика. Второй режим производит временную запись в реестр памяти банка данных под названием CLOSE CALL HITS. Самое сложное-это найти и посмотреть что записано в этом банке. Пред каждым началом запуска функции CLOSE CALL, нужно обязательно зайти в меню Close Call, найти функцию Scan Hits, зайти в неё, и выбрать SCAN HITS ON и нажать кнопку PgmE. После вы запускаете режим Close Call only, и после, когда вы примите несущую частоту, вы сможете позже её просмотреть, во время работы функции Close Call, нажимаете кнопку SCAN, затем сразу кнопку HOLD, ручкой-крутилкой наверху сканера вы крутите против часовой стрелки и находите заветный банк данных под названием CLOSE CALL HITS, а там все ваши принятые частоты.
I've had close call searching for an hour and it didn't pick up a thing. Yet when I scan normally I can pick up a dozen frequencies. Is this normal? Do you know what I've done wrong?
This is kc2qyw Thank you Douglas I looked up your call sign so that's nice you also do amateur radio 2 and your from Georgia yes I am from Harrison New York Thank you for your help
@@k4dps OK I must look at the wrong call sign so I looked it up again nice profile nice pictures i have the yaesu FTDX 3000 D and the rci 69 cb radio dx2547 and 2900 2 metter
I have an Optoelectronics Digital Scout, it captures "close calls " faster and it save the Frequency and Tones for later retrieval, I can also connect the Digital Scout to my ICOM IC-R20 and that radio can Automatically Program Bank(s) with the frequencys in the Scout as well as Fully Demodulate the Audio for monitoring, this happens Instantly and Automatically.
I am into VHF Airband (118~137mhz), I am thinking of buying this Uniden 125xlt reciever and I am also interested in the Icom IC-R30, wonder which performs best on VHF Airband.
I really need some help with this! I'm about ready to throw this scanner out of the window and myself with it! I bought a BC92XLT back in 2006, and it has finally died. I bought this model to replace it, but it has too many options and settings for my needs! I just need it to listen to my local police department, not the entire military operations, or whatever! What is the setting for just the regular police talk around? With my old model, it just had it already, I didn't need to make all of these adjustments. I don't know if they have hi, lo, UHF, or whatever all of this other stuff is, or time delays and all of that. I didn't know I needed a communications major just to listen to the scanner! Please help me! I'm begging you!
Any agency that has gone full digital trunked systems, you will not be able to tune in. You have to invest in an expensive, digital trunking scanner or radio system to be able to receive digital trunked systems with encryption. These scanners are all analog systems, unless it says analog and digital.
@@k4dps thank you I just ordered 1 from scanner masters.com Get it tomorrow UPS March 4 Every Wednesday night scanner guys do a live show on RU-vid check them out 8:00 p.m. Eastern standard time in the usa i am from harrison ny KC2QYW That's my call sign I also do amateur radio Have a lot of hobbies cb radio slot cars bmx bike r/c gas cars Studio with my techniques turn tables ok thank you and be safe
FlyingPilot2012 - NO, Uniden and Whistler scanners are NOT continuous coverage receivers, Radios like the ICOM and AOR receivers can tune just about Everything including CB, FM-AM broadcast radio and SSB.
Close call is an option on just about every available Uniden radio. It's a way to find frequencies that are close to you with a very strong signal. Close call does not work over long distances or with weak signals.
@@k4dps Thanks for the response. I'm brand new to scanners and the term "Close Call" meant a half dozen different definitions to me. None made any sense. Even the scanners I've been researching make reference to "Close Call" but all assume I know the definition. I'm considering a UNIDEN BC125AT with a Diamond RH77CA external antenna. May I ask your thoughts on this scanner and do you have alternative considerations to share for a new user? Many thanks. SKYKOP
@@SKYKOP1972 Where are you located? The BC125AT with the Diamond RH77CA is a great choice for monitoring analog only, but many systems now are using digital and the 125AT will not receive them.
just to let everybody know do not use the USB Jack on the scanner because there is a few DB loss because I've noticed when I plug in my scanner because I have a 125 and when I do that it starts to hiss when there's a transmission being received but then when I unplug the radio it goes away and receives normally without any issues so if you get this radio do not do anything but charge it and then when it's done being charged unplug it and run it off of battery I would suggest getting higher capacity batteries made by nuon they do work very good because they charge up perfectly and will last up to 12 hours on a full charge giving maximum output and I haven't seen anything bad about those batteries at all that I can think of so yeah I do externally charge the batteries of course and when I don't have my charger nearby I'll charge them in the scanner and if you really want a great antenna that really complements this radio get a mini mag antenna made by opek it's $29 with free shipping I strongly recommend this when buying the BC 125 scanner‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
