rebanding has to do with Nextel & Other cellphone providers and moving off
of the 850.XXX and allowing public Safety,
Most of the older scanners that have "Cellphone coverage Blocked" and your
BC780 will NOT listen to anything in the 850.XXX range.

I've had good luck with updating BC-245's and newer scanners from Uniden.

I believe "re-banding" actually means moving to the 700 mHz frequencies. 
Changing the 800 mHz frequencies around must be for some conflict or problem
in the system.

If you are in Control Channel mode you should be able to receive everything
OK as long as you are near enough to hear the control channels.

You might try the Uniden web site to see if there is a manual available for
your BC16. You'll need to find out the new freq's and program them in. The
Radio Reference web site may already have them.

If you have come here to find out about the Uniden BC-780 you have come to
the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-780 is the only acceptable
topic on this list. Please. I hope this is clear to all group members.
