Hello and welcome back... The Uniden Bearcat BC895XLT was a 300ch desktop scanner, which in its time could scan 100ch a second.. That's pretty good, even in today's standard.
This beast was chunky, had 300chs (10 bank) of storage and sported 'Trunktracker' technology. (Motorola Type I, II, IIi Hybrid, Smartnet and Privacy Plus).. analogue only.
Released in 1997, other features include: LCD dimmer, S-indicator, channel lockout, count key, weather alert, autosort and ten priority channels.
The BC-895XLT even has built-in CTCSS decode.
Other claim to fame was the ability to update the scanners firmware (a serial port on the back of the scanner supported this function)
FREQUENCY COVERAGE
RESET SCANNER
With power off press and hold the MAN, 2, and 9 keys. Turn the radio on and release the keys after a few seconds.

MODS - http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/bc895-tap.txt
NOTES = Cant really comment, never owned one of these radios. It looks the part, covers the spectrum really well and scan rate is amazing..
Would i buy one? ... Yes
Anyone else have any thoughts about this radio... Good / Bad
