    Why Uniden UBC800XLT won’t track a trunked system?
    • G
      Garrett ObrienAug 17, 2025
      Your Uniden Scanner might not be tracking a trunked system because the system might not be one your scanner can scan, so try changing to another system. Also, the data frequency might be missing, so enter the data frequency. No ID’s may have been programmed, so program one or more ID’s or use the ID Search mode. Finally, the ID’s you have stored may not be active, so wait for the ID’s to become active or scan another system.

    What causes missing replies to conversations on Uniden UBC800XLT?
    • R
      Richard CookAug 25, 2025
      Missing replies to conversations on your Uniden Scanner can be caused by several factors. The fleet map might be incorrect, so try another preset fleet map or program your own fleet map. Also, one or more of the system’s frequencies might not be entered, so make sure all the system’s frequencies have been entered.
