Just a small comment regarding these EZI30XLT scanner's, the
interface is almost TOO basic - ask your store to let you try before
buying it. I had the chance to test one not so long ago and found it
painful to operate compared to the 72/92XLTs I already have.<br>

<p>Hi Richard,</p>
<p>If you are looking for a simple radio. Have a look at the
Uniden EZI30XLT. The EZI30XLT covers 75-85MHz FM, 88-107.9MHz
Wide FM, 108-137MHz AM, 137-174MHz FM and 410-489MHz FM. <br>
</p>
<p>It has a very basic interface, which includes three instant
buttons that can be programmed with any frequency in the
operating range of the scanner. <br>
</p>
<p>The EZI30XLT is currently available from most Uniden retailers
and have also seen people selling it on TradeMe.</p>

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

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