How to get uniden handheld off out of range - Uniden DECT 2080-5 Quint Phone

Are you looking to replace the antenna on the unit or hook it up to a larger separate antenna?

The antenna connector should be a standard BNC, there are a range of antennas to choose from either way.

Typically most handheld radios will talk line-of-sight up to two miles. Obstacles such as buildings, trees, walls, and terrain will reduce the range. Here is a link to the user guide: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/TR622-2om.pdf

Best regards.

what is the range it can pick u

The ERROR message usually indicates that you've tried to program a frequency outside the scanner's tuning range. The BC60XLT top tuning range is the 512 MHz band, so you cannot tune any 800 MHz frequencies. For further information you can download and print the factory manual, at no cost, here:

Listening in since the 60's

well a GP2000 has a Frequency range of 136 - 174 MHz, 403-440 MHz or 435-480mhz
a uniden pro 510XL is a 27 mhz radio as far as i know...

The BC60XLT does not have a global search feature. In fact, this simple scanner has no search feature of any kind. Reception is limited to 10 user-programmable frequencies and 7 factory-programmed NOAA weather frequencies. If you need a manual for your scanner you can download it here:

try to scan frequency range bet 140 - 160 mhz in VHF range and 300 - 400 in UHF range for police frequencies..... ;-)

This link at the bottom should work. If not go directly to uniden's web site www.uniden.com and there is a place to get all their manuals

Should have a button that reads "PROGRAM". Push it first, then enter your frequency (example 154.55). Then push button marked "ENTER".
Depending on the frequency range that you entered it will take it or state Error. Let me know how you do.
