Box Contains Radio, psu, antenna, belt clip, manual Review: Great little scanner once you get the hang of it - Solid build and surprisingly good reception for a handheld. Runs on standard or rechargeable AA batteries, so you can quickly swap in spares if you don’t have time to recharge, has a clear display, and the audio quality is excellent. The seller even pre-programmed some channels for me, which was a nice touch and made it easier to get started. It took a short while to learn how to use, but once I got the hang of it it’s straightforward and very reliable. Great value for money β€” highly recommended for anyone wanting a capable, portable receiver. Review: Brilliant receiver for airband etc - I cannot think of anything to dislike. Programming it is a doddle when you get used to using the freeware Scan125 and Scan125convert, and with the 125XLT connected to your PC most of the controls can be changed from the screen rather than finding where to do it via the radio buttons. I pay for RRUK so I get a csv file of the frequencies I want from RRUK, convert it using Scan125convert, then load it onto the radio using nScan125, you can say exactly where you want them to go in a particular bank or bank number, then check the banks on your PC screen. I use mine at home and do not go out much, so rather than the standard antenna I have a Broadsword (search on Facebook for his shop) dipole in the loft with the connector in the upstairs study, and if I am downstairs by the garden I put another Broadsword antenna, an airband slim jim, about 20ft up on an extending fishing pole (on a cane pushed into the top section, some poles are carbon fibre). I have also ordered a bluetooth transmitter to send the audio to a bluetooth speaker, apparently connecting a wired speaker to the radio does not work very well, the speaker needs to be powered, like my rechargeable speaker. Apart from civil and military airband the only other of the frequency banks I scan is ham, there are other banks but I set them to not be scanned, and when I did scan them not much was on, perhaps you need a dedicated antenna for them? I am in my mid 60's and if I can understand it and enjoy it then anyone can, an outside antenna like an airband slim jim is easy to put up in the loft, or on a pole, or just hung up as high as you can get, and IMO is much more effective than the standard rubber duck. A must is to download Scan125 and Scan125 convert, there is a bit of a learning curve but it is worth it for the convenience of running the radio via your PC. At this price you are not going to get a scanner with all the bells and whistles, others can cost many times what this does, in my opinion the 125XLT is brilliant, incredible value, and is great fun to use. Update - I got the bluetooth transmitter/receiver (from ebay!) plus a cheap pair of headphones and they all work great together. https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B07WT9GV2D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ## Features - 500 Channels - 25-960 MHz (with gaps) - Close call function. 10 search band - It covers 25-88mhz, 108-174mhz, 225 - 512mhz and 806 - 960mhz with 5/6 - Antenna: 50 Ohm / IF rejection: 80 Decibel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HQCUXI4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,507 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 44 in Radio Communication | | Box Contents | Radio, Antenna, Instructions, Batteries , USB Jack | | Brand Name | Uniden | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,644) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04954355102819 | | Item Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Light Source Type | LED | | Manufacturer | Uniden | | Media Type | USB | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | UBC-125XLT | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Optical Sensor Technology | CCD | | Paper Size | A4, Letter | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Resolution | 1050 | | Scanner Type | Radio | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Uniden - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Item weight:** 0.17 Kilograms - **Maximum Supported Paper Size:** A3 - **Minimum system requirements.:** Windows 7 - **Model name:** UBC-125XLT - **Optical sensor technology:** CCD - **Resolution:** 1050 - **Scanner type:** Radio - **Sheet size:** A4, Letter ## Images ![UBC-125XLT Handheld Scanner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8197h-OLaTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is alpha tagging, also is this still the best value for money unit** A: Hi Mr T- Alpha tagging is a name you can give to a channel or frequency that you have found or listen to regularly. It helps you keep track of what your listening to. Having named your favourite channels or frequencies makes them easier to find again, and saves time scanning through a block of frequencies trying to find something you heard a few days ago etc. So Alpha tagging is just the ability to name a frequency or channel. This scanner is a good piece of kit and is good value for the money. I use it mainly for aircraft and marine band listening. If you have a pad or smartphone you can download apps that allow you to see the plane or ship you are listening to. Flight Radar and Marine Traffic are the apps I use. The scanner can be awkward to use and I complained to Uniden about how the user experience could be improved. Once you get your head around the menus it's a capable little scanner. You cannot use it while it's connected to the charger though. Nice little scanner but has a fiddly and awkward menu system. Hope this info helps you. **Q: is there an in-car charger and a mains charger for the alt 125? Thanks** A: Hi John. A UK mains charger is included (and USB charge lead). Currently we don't have an in car charger. However, most USB in car chargers will suffice. These are very common and easy to get. **Q: Are the tuning steps on this unit fully suitable for the UK? Am new to scanning, long time lapsed Ham.** A: This scanner covers all UK including air band, local taxes , cb radio, ham bands etc etc. **Q: Can you program all 500 channel to the civil airband frequency range** A: Yes, but it does not have an 8.33 kHz AM filter so you can get upto 3 channels on the same frequency. You'd need to spend a lot more money for a scanner that does the VHF Airband properly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little scanner once you get the hang of it *by M***N on 19 October 2025* Solid build and surprisingly good reception for a handheld.
