<p><p><span>I bought a pair of used 780XLT and am experiencing very poor VHF sensitivity. I don't know if it's the units are defective or it's normal for this product. I am comparing the receive ability/quality to my BCD-325P2, a Pro-2026, and 2 different 2 meter HT's (Baofeng UV-5R and a Alinco FJ-500T)</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>My antenna on the BCD-325P2 and the HT's are their stock rubber duckie.</span></p><p><span>I've tried a few different antennas on the 780XLT and the pro-2026, most recently the Radio Shack telescoping 9 section antenna.</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p>What I'm finding is that some of the VHF frequencies I'm interested in don't come in at all. Like the local 2 meter repeater at 145.18
0 or 146.790 I only get static on the 780XLT vs clearly heard on everything else. A local PD freq of 155.7450, same thing. Even the WX channels seems weak on the 780XLT.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm tempted to send the 780XLT into Uniden for repair but I'm afraid of it coming back as 'trouble not found' and my wallet is $80 lighter.</p><p><br></p><p>Some services come in fine - I'm getting 800Mhz analog P25 stuff from the local university. Also can hear the local airport fine, though they're just 2 miles away.</p><p><br></p><p>Anyone else ever had weak reception on VHF with this scanner?</p></p>

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.<BR>
