great to scan the Ham bands for propagation
The Uniden Bearcat BC-9000XLT is a scanner offering great frequency coverage. This models covers virtually every frequency from 25 MHz to 1300 MHz (less cellular). It receives military frequencies not found on most other scanners. You get 500 channels organized in 20 banks of 25 channels each. A VFO control (manual tuning knob) enables fast selection of memories or frequencies. TurboScan allows you to scan up to 100 channels per second and TurboSearch lets you select either 100 or 300 steps per second when searching VHF frequencies. The automatic store feature searches out active frequencies and automatically stores them for you in an available memory location. Selectable mode allows you to change the default receiving mode (AM, FM-wide or FM-narrow) to hear all the action.
Advanced features include: Two Line Alpha LCD, Delay key (2 seconds), Channel Lockout, Data Skip (the scanner skips over non-voice channels), Backlight Dimmer, High Cut Audio Filter and tape recorder activation.
External jacks include: BNC antenna, external speaker, line out, aux jack and DC power. The BC9000XLT comes with: AC adapter, telescopic antenna and Owner's Manual. Size: 10.5 x 3.5 x 7.375 inches.

Exact model Realistic Pro-2036 Scanner
ReplyDeleteI'm confused, I just bought a Pro-2036 scanner from RS and after looking
ReplyDeletefor any mods for it I've found None. It seems to be a clone of the
Uniden BC 890XLT in every way except that the Uniden is continuous
coverage and the Pro-2036 is in blocks. Are the electronics the same
inside and can the RS unit be full coverage also. Im pleased with the
unit but would like to get a little more out of it if possible. Can
anyone help?
I tested both models last year, side by side, at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, both units have the same frequency coverage.
Specifying the coverage in several bands is a marketing ploy.
The only difference between the BC890XLT and PRO-2036 I could find
were:
1) The cabinet colors and control markings are different.
2) The squelch controls work in opposite directions to conform
to the opposite Uniden and Radio Shack conventions.
From the FAQ:
BC890XLT (Uniden): Same as Radio Shack PRO-2036. Tuning
knob. 200 channels, global delay. Count, AUX, and Auto
Store features. Scans and searches fast. Accepts optional
CTCSS board. Dual conversion with 10.8 MHz and 450 kHz IF
-- lots of images and birdies. Prone to severe intermod,
especially when used with an outdoor antenna. See "The
Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass,
in June 1995 Monitoring Times.
The Pro-2036 is actually an exact copy of the uniden BC700A

I've been looking myself for a mod to open it up but no luck yet.
If I find one I'll post. You do the same, ok
