      I have this scanner and it's been working great, but one day the frequencies I got programmed in it ,they stopped..
      What do you think is wrong with it??
      It still scans the frequencies, but there's no talking..

    Thank you for the good video on this model, helped me a lot on an older model to do the same thing. One thing that may help others on this is that on the older models of the Uniden BC72XLT (Nascar) to change banks you do not have the multipurpose knob on top just squelch and volume. So to change banks, after you press Func PSrc when you are customizing your frequencies, you must hit Func then the ^ (2) and v (8) keys to get to your desired bank.

    So I am trying to use this scanner for auto racing and I would like to use the preset numbers (1-300) for each drivers corresponding race number. Is there a way to type in or skip to a specific preset without turning the top knob? For instance, I have the #72 car frequency saved in the 3rd back (60-90) as the 72nd preset. Is there a way to skip to this specific preset frequency without having to go to the 3rd bank and scroll until I'm on 72? It takes longer than you would think when you're trying to toggle between a few different drivers and the track radio frequency. Or maybe there is a better way to go about this altogether??? Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same scanner pretty close to it and I use it for NASCAR races I go on the computer into the program and I input all of my frequencies and names I usually put the names next to the car number I have it already saved so I just open the file and put it in I changed a few names and a couple car drivers and some frequencies if needed but what I found is that for example I find Ross Chastain and he's car number one I go down to car 42 which is Ty Dillon and it says Ross Chastain which never put it there another driver which I inputted was Harrison Burton and I go to car 21 and it still says Matt dibenedetto. Everything is right on the program on the computer then I hit or click save then import and it does it but it never changes the name on the scanner it's fine on the program what is wrong with my scanner, already tried lowercase letters already tried resetting the computer program already tried resetting the scanner still won't change, any thoughts?

      I have had an excellent time so far with my Bearcat BC75XLT amzn.to/2EnyeZP , very simple to operate, and you have my videos to help guide you. At $3 more the Bearcat BC125AT is a perfect purchase amzn.to/2BNSWjF . Stays under $100 and you get the bonus Military Aircraft band. Plus that model adds 200 extra memory channels and the ability to name them. The programming software is free and easy to use, though you don't need it to fully operate the radio. Another thing you can do is buy him some rechargeable AA batteries, you will need two. The radio comes with a USB cable and you can use any USB charger or USB port to charge the radio...this is very handy. Batteries I like to use are the Amazon High Capacity AAs amzn.to/2XpZoqu .
