Uniden BC75XLT do these work fine here in NZ? Looking at getting one to replace my very old UBC57XLT for simple radio.

Yes, the guy in the Waikato has lots of scanners for sale but be careful
- they are the US varieties and not the NZ ones. For example his Uniden
BCT8's might look like our UBCT8's but ours have continuous coverage
from 25MHz upwards, whereas the US ones have a big hole between 54 to
108MHz and 174 to 400MHz. Plenty of activity in those 'holes' in NZ but
you're not allowed to listen in the US - VHF FM broadcast either?

Cheers - majoco

The yanks still seem to think its a good to block the cellular bands too
- even though AMPS has been dead for 15? + years. IIRC the Unidens miss
one or two of the license-able 800mhz trunking channels as well.
