Uniden SC230 Replacement

[Volt]

Hey all! Still fairly new here. Was curious if anyone knows the replacement model for the Uniden SC230?

Thanks!

The BC-125AT however it does not cover 800-956.800 Mhz. nor 1240-1300 Mhz. like the 230 did.

The BC346XT covers the same frequencies with the addition of trunk tracking.

Thanks for the reply W8RMH! I appreciate it. I'm a little bummed that the BC346XT doesn't come with the standard BNC connection for the antenna like the BC-125AT does, instead it's the screw on connection. Oh well. I'm sure there is a method to Uniden's madness. I see it comes with the adapter, so that's nice.

I have used the supplied BNC adapter for 6 years on three different radios with no problems. It actually helps stabilize the connection. You will never know it is there.

You mean you have used the adapter to keep the antenna on? Or only when you use an antenna with a BNC connection?

I have never used the stock SMA antenna. I have always used a BNC 800 antenna or connected to coax on a mobile antenna.

Ah, ok. I get what you are saying. Thanks for the input.

Now that I've learned a little bit about trunking, I want to upgrade my SC230 to the BC346XT.

My town doesn't use trunking, but some systems in the area would be nice to listen to.
