Posted on by


The Product: Easier to Read Uniden XT Scanner Manual
Price: $29.95
For: Uniden Bearcat’s BCT15X, BC346XT, BCD396XT, BCD996XT

Painstakingly created by Marksscanners, this 100 page Easier to Read Scanner Manual takes you deep into the amazing feature set and instructions for the Uniden XT scanners:

  • BCT15X
  • BC346XT
  • BCD396XT
  • BCD996XT

    This is an extremely handy 5.5 X 8.5 perfect-bound book which you can use on your desk, in your car and on the go. The guide is in 4-color with charts, images and super detailed text. This one guide covers all four of these latest Bearcat® XT model scanners and takes you far beyond what you get with the radio (only a CD-ROM and without the detail of Mark’s guide). Go step-by-step through each of the hundreds of features of these scanners and learn what the functions do and how they are enabled and disabled.

    Mark takes you through the process of planning systems, sites and groups and then programming your scanner with this information. The Uniden XT scanners are remarkable radios but to get the most out of them you really need this ultimate manual we are proud to offer.

    • New Product – SpectrumForce Scanner Lapel Speaker with Antenna Mount

    SpectrumForce Scanner Lapel Speaker with Antenna Mount:
    • With SMA Connection – $29.95
    • With BNC Connection – $29.95

    In the photo on the left is the SpectrumForce Scanner Lapel Speaker with Antenna Mount (BNC Connection)

    Puts scanner audio closer to your ear just like public safety two-way radios. Mounts a scanner antenna atop the speaker for improved reception.


    • Works with Bearcat 330, 346 and 396 (X and XT) scanner models
    • Audio Boost with volume control slider
    • Swivel clip attaches to lapel
    • Single straight cord, 3′ long, contains cabling for antenna coax and speaker wire

    The SpectrumForce Scanner Lapel Speaker with Audio Boost & Antenna Mount is one of the coolest products we’ve ever developed. With a look similar to the speaker-microphones used by law enforcement, security, fire service and EMS officers, this speaker has multiple important functions: It brings your portable scanner audio up close to your ear (rather than down by your side on your belt), it provides a variable audio boost, and it puts the antenna up higher and away from your body — in a much more efficient location for better signal reception range and clarity.
    (In the photo to the Right Greg Jolly with the SpectrumForce Scanner Lapel Speaker)

    How did we boost the audio?
    The audio boost on the lapel speaker works via a jumper cable that runs inside the speaker housing from the antenna jack ground lead to the speaker ground. This method cancels internal scanner audio resistance to the speaker jack which is used to protect your hearing when utilizing an earphone. However, with the lapel speaker, you will not be using an earphone running directly into your ear, but rather a speaker, to listen to the scanner audio. Thus, the volume will be similar to listening closely to the speaker on the scanner itself (as you normally would if you were holding the scanner in your hands) however the speaker will be on your lapel or shoulder when walking around or driving in a car, rather than on your belt as part of the scanner. An engineer has tested this construction method and confirms that it works well and has no negative impact on audio amplifiers (see below). The lapel speaker audio boost works with most, but not all, portable scanners.

    Elevating the Antenna
    You must utilize the antenna mount on the lapel speaker to take advantage of the audio boost. However, the added benefit is that by mounting the antenna on the lapel speaker you elevate the antenna for the radio (as compared to having it located on your belt) which will in general improve reception. Also, by having the antenna on the scanner on your belt, next to your body, you de-sensitize it. Mounting the antenna up and away from your body and on the lapel speaker you no longer de-sensitize the antenna. This is why many police, fire and EMS agencies use a speaker microphone with the antenna mounted on the speaker for their officers as well.

    Specifications
    • Speaker: 45mm
    • Power: 1 Watt Max
    • Frequency Range: 500-9000Hz
    • Size: 68H x 58W x 22D (mm)

    Not a microphone – listen only.

    New ProductGRE PSR-200U Scanner

    Posted on by

    By Jonathan Higgins
    GRE PSR-200U Scanner

    The GRE PSR-200/U scanner reminds me of my very first scanner the Radio Shack Realistic PRO-2014. GRE PSR-200U is replacing the GRE PSR-200.

    What new with the GRE PSR-200U Scanner:
    >> Adding the Broadcast FM Band – 87.3 – 107.9
    >> Capability to program/decode the private line (CTCSS/DCS)
    >> Signal Meter

    Everything else is still the same. I have to say I like the added feature of CTCSS/DCS. This will help with blocking unwanted distance communications on the same given frequency. Also the Signal Meter is very nice too!

    Also…
    >> Desktop Design
    >> 200 Channels
    >> SAME Weather Alert
    >> 5 Service Searches
    >> Skywarn
    >> PC Programmable
    >> Backlight LCD Display
    >> Easy to use Buttons

    Frequency Coverage:
    29-30MHz: 10 Meter Amateur Radio
    30-50MHz: VHF Low
    50-54MHz: 6 Meter Amateur Radio
    87.3-107.9MHz: FM Broadcast Band
    108-136.99166MHz: Aircraft
    137-144MHz: Government
    144-148MHz: 2 Meter Amateur Radio
    148-174MHz: VHF Hi
    380-450MHz: Amateur Radio/Government
    450-470MHz: UHF Standard
    470-512MHz: UHF “T”

    Included in the box:
    >> PSR-200U Scanner
    >> Telescope Antenna
    >> AC Adapter
    >> User Manual

    Great gift for someone that in a non-digital/trunking area…
    You should keep the GRE PSR 200U Scanner in mind, this entry-level 200 channel scanner is very simple to operate. Program single frequency in a few simple steps, it that easy!

    For some people this scanner will not work due to the radio systems in their area. How check if this scanner will work in their area? Visit our sister website http://www.policescanners.com.
