I have a Uniden BC72XLT I can't get it to pick up any Public safety frequencies. It will pick the weather frequency but that's it. Sometimes it stops on frequencies but all I get is static. When I first bought the scanner 3 years ago it worked great. I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with it or is it just out dated.
Help!!!

What system are you trying to scan? According to the owners manual for that model it only scans up to 512 MHz. While there may be public safety agencies that you can scan depending on the system you want to listen too, there will be many you cannot listen too because of the limitations of your scanner. This includes anything in the 800 MHz range and digital transmissions.
Once we know what you want to listen too we can offer answers for your situation.

With most Public Service going DIGITAL like KSP P25 DIGITAL, others going to DMR DIGITAL, and others going to NXDN. Warren has a P25 Type 1 and type 2 system plus some DMR systems. Simpson County is all Analog and LTR systems. It would be time to invest in new scanners $350 to $500.

Definately outdated. It was made by Uniden in the late 90s. It won't receive those LTR systems it's too old. It was state of the art when it came out for trunked and EDACS systems but trunked systems went through rebanding and EDACS systems are no longer supported by their manufacturer. It will hear the analog conventional frequencies though.
