what are so special about these 780xlt opposed to the ubct9

[bonnie28]

Ubct9 are a very cheap version of the 780xlt with way less options. Poor Mans Scanner.....
They do work as they intended tho...

[Mathew]

It's got nothing to do with money at all, lol.
They have Alpha Tagging, and a large range of PC software (among lots of other things)..

so the 780xlt would be a better buy then a ubct9 then i was just thinking of buying a ubct9

[alinco21]

yes the 780xlt is getting a bit old but the one to get.
I have 3 of them, they are great.

. . . . and a large range of PC software . . ...

Most of the software written for the UBC780XLT will also work on the UBCT8 / UBCT9, and similar scanners.

Just remember that the 780 has 500 channels, and the T8 / T9 only have 250. And most of the software defaults to using Channel 500, so on the T8 / T9 that has to be changed (by convention to Channel 100) during initial set-up.
