Uniden UBC125 - Manual range setting

Post by Weather666 »

Hi all. I am back in the world of scanning and have the Uniden 125 and I cannot be the only one to find the instruction book somewhat lacking.

What I would like to do is scan between 2 frequencies (i.e. 27.60125 and 26.90125), in other words set my own range and scan between them.

I can use the Quick search where I can input a starting frequency but I want to select the end frequency such that it just scans between the 2.

Thanks in antic.

Hi
Welcome to the forum :D

You can change the search limits of the pre programmed banks 1-10.

Possibly consider changing the limits of bank number 1?

Page 51 – 52 of the manual

Programming Custom Search Ranges

You can define each search range used during a Custom Search.

1. Press Func then Pgm/E in Custom Search mode to view
the Search menu.

2. Turn SCROLL CONTROL to Program Limits and press
Pgm/E.

3. Turn SCROLL CONTROL to Search Bank 1-10 and press
Pgm/E. You will see the previously programmed lower
frequency. At Lower, press Pgm/E and use the keypad to
enter the lower limit frequency then press Pgm/E.


4. Scroll to Upper and press Pgm/E. You will see the
previously programmed upper frequency. Use the keypad
to enter the upper limit frequency then press Pgm/E.


5. Press . Clr to return to the Select Bank menu. Repeat for
each custom search bank you want to reprogram then
press Srch/Svc to start searching


Also, I see that there is a video on youtube - 'Uniden UBC125XLT - Programming Custom Search Ranges'

Uniden scanners can be a bit 'challenging' to get your head around at first, but it is just a matter of getting familiar with the way things work ;)
