I had forgotten that the UBC126AT did not have the AM / FM mode switch button like the UBC125XLT. I must be getting old .
You missed the "s"
"Senior Moments" .....
As a side issue is that for me Uniden (and possibly other manufacturers) have really confused their users and markets.
The BC125AT I'm assuming was 1st on the block by Uniden USA/?. Then in Europe we get the UBC125XLT which is "EU market modified". Uniden USA will not answer question etc on the UBC125XLT and there is no apparent Uniden UK/EU manufacturer's website. Best you can get is an authorised distributor who in my epxerpience are devoid of decent technical information etc. Australia/Newzeland seem to be a little differnet though when I did try to ask about the UBC125XLT they were unable to help.
The stupid thing, IMHO, is the 125 and 126 scanners come from the same family/base stock. Yes they are different but they share the same DNA. Meanwhile each world region (who obviously picked up a "base DNA" deny all knowledge unless it is "tehir baby" and even then they seem to lack detailed technical info.
To further muddy the waters the Albrecht AE125H is a complete clone of the UBC125XLT but getting decent technical information is an unknown.
However with Alinco I've been able to communicate and get decent technical data etc. on all the specific range models and variations they sell world wide. I'm talking the DX-R8, DX-SR8 and DX-SR9 comms kit and full information for all world wide areas.
Why can't Uniden not do this? Why do they have to compartmenalise their support and in some areas have no support other than via an authorised dealer. MADNESS.
This is one reason I may never ever buy any Uniden kit in the future. You guys in the US may be better off/placed but here in the EU Uniden sucks. Many units are sold but sales is one factor but support, technical support, customer service is what really drives and supports brand loyalty and trust.
Next time I buy a scanner then I'll look at Alinco models, and others, and then *really* check out how that manufacturer supports their customers in their country of purchase.
WAKE UP UNIDEN!
Uniden has better scanning equipment than Alinco. So your threat has no teeth. Lol.
It is a shame that Uniden Europe sucks. Maybe UPMan can pass along the comments to that division.

1+ for that Nick, this was addressed many times before here and on UK forums, AUS/NZ version is called UBC126AT just to confuse more people. NO parts, NO support , NO firmware updates. We have been whipping dead horse for years. Due to geographical restrictions and distribution rights Uniden US (Upman) usually don't or can't comment about the issues we have. For UBC396XT if I recall correctly we have only one firmware update after initial scanner release. Basically if you buy Uniden scanner outside US you on you own. Take it or leave it. Uniden way or hi way ! Support for UBC3600XLT is the same, Constant finger pointing between Uniden and Avera distributors. Not a good picture. Now you can buy new SDS100 if you outside US because you face the same problems. You cant even get new battery upgrade ! Shame Uniden.
Ps Yes am Uniden user due to open Band Plan implemented, but recently acquired TRX-1, not perfect but workable where I am. Cant wait for new Whistler release.

Well I did add "others". For me Alinco support/information has been excellent from Japan who did not shunt me off to a more regional authorised dealer, etc.
Yes probably Alinco scanners are not up to the mark of others. Their HF kit is well received and again well supported.
Please take into account I buy kit and then want to develop my own software to drive that kit. This is where I more than often meet full response, denial and/or get pushed onto a 3rd party who refer me back to where I started from.
I have private/confidential information that indicates that my Scan125 Control Program software has made big increases in UK sales of this scanner. However I was not able to get real "back to base" contact with Uniden for 125 series of scanners. I had to hard graft every avenue to build a decent (not my view but the views of my users) program to provide reltime control of the 125/126 series of scanners long before the likes othe "others" (even commercial others others).

Is the 125at still actually in production or is it discontinued ?
