This trick also works with the Uniden UBCD396T - I've just tried it.

  And just to save anyone having to browse the link:

  The Uniden BC-95XLT Can Be Used As A Frequency Counter. To enter this mode
Press "HOLD,3 and 0" while turning the Power On.

  You then can change the group of frequencies you wish to check. To do this
use the Up and Down Arrow Keys.

  The Scanner will display the strongest frequency transmitted.

  Example: To check a Citizens Band Radio frequency, select The Lo group. If
you Transmit on Channel 20 the scanner will display 27.205 MHz.

  You can check with a Ham Radio, Marine, GMRS, etc. It will display the
frequency used.

  This Will also work on Uniden BC-92XLT & BC-72XLT. Should work with Radio
Shack PRO-83 & PRO-84.

      I have been using that site over the last few weeks - initially for
the Tas./Vic. Bush fires, and yesterday for the Qld./NSW floods. It appears
that only large City areas Syd./Melb./Bris. Use APCO P25 (Govt. Radio
Network). The outer and semi rural areas still seem to be using 'analog'
open channel comms.  on the 467 - 469mHz band, which they been using for
many years.

      Unrelated Topic: Does anyone know the mod./trick that allows the
Uniden BC-72/92XLT scanner to be used as a 'frequency counter' probably part
of the "Close Call" feature.

      Cheers,

      John Barnhill
