BC895XLT Review by Richard Wells

[Turner Cress]

Hi People,

I recently read a review by Richard Wells where he states that the Uniden
BC895XLT is good at the following:

The BC895XLT provided excellent results and seems indicative of a triple
conversion unit with good filtering. The only problems seemed to come on a
few frequencies due to images of strong broadcast TV signals. And there are
definitely not going to be cellular images heard. Not only does this radio
do a great job of filtering and adjacent channel attenuation, but the IFs
chosen will place cellular images way above the frequency range of this
radio. For instance, a cordless phone conversation on 46.93MHz was detected
at 808MHz!

Does this mean I would not be able to listen to cordless and cell phone
frequencies? If so, how can this be a good thing, as this is one of my main
interests...Thanks for your time.

Cell phones are boring. Cordless is where the action is. <:

The 895xlt will pick up cordless-not cell. That being said this is as
good as scanner as you can buy for the money. I have 2 right now,a
9000xlt, UBC9000 and a Pro 2006. The 895xlt does the best at picking up
distant transmissions. Not all scanners that pick up cell are the
greatest thing on earth.

ok, so he is basically saying that I should be able to pickup cordless in
the 800 mhz range? instead of the regular 30-50 (or close to that)
