What to do if my Uniden UBC785XLT scan won't stop?
- C
  Christopher JacobsJul 31, 2025
  If your Uniden Scanner scan won't stop, consider the following: 1. Adjust the squelch threshold. 2. Check the antenna connection. 3. Ensure that not too many channels are locked out, as this reduces the scanner's ability to find an active channel. 4. Verify that each channel's frequency is correctly stored in memory. 5. It's possible that none of the programmed frequencies are currently active.
