I have just purchased a new Uniden UH7700NB UHF. Can it be programmed to receive Police & Emergency Channels. regards Nevo

Hi Clive,

Simple method is to turn off the radio, take out the batteries, and wait for about 15 minutes or longer. Then replace the batteries (making sure they're fully charged), and turn on the set, all being well, the radio will be reset to factory default status.

I hope this has answered your query.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Shorty,

Uniden UH038sx-2nb, is the make/model.

Unfortunately, what you have is a designated UHF CB radio, that can't be programmed with frequencies outside of the UHF CB band.
Well, not without stuffing the unit up, anyway.

Why would you want to program police frequencies into a 2-way radio anyway, The fact that police are moving or have moved to digital, means you won't hear anything anyway., so why bother?

That's what radio scanners were used for, until the cops found out, and started changing to Digital mode operations.

I really can't see the point of modifying and most likely destroying an otherwise perfectly working radio.

Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful, but that's life.

Regards,
Peter

Repeatedly pressing the HOLD key will advance the unit through all channels and bring up anything that you've programmed into it, and repeatedly pressing the SVC key will advance the scanner through the preprogrammed services (police, fire, marine, etc.). For more information you can download/print your scanner's manual here:

This is a UHF only radio, with coverage from 400 to 512 MHz. Need the operating manual? You can download/print it here:

i have just printed off a hard copy of this manual it was on Http//.www.uniden.com.au/ RESOUCES main/pdf/uh011.pdf If that isnt helpfull i could post it out to you.

http://www.police-scanner.info/police-scanner-frequencies.htm make sure you have the new freq.#.they changed a lot of the a few months ago.

While there might be a multitude of answers to this question. The first would be the radio is in need of repair, or not programmed correctly.

Do you have a list of correct freq's for your area?
Make sure you have the scanner set on the correct mode (am/fm/ct/dc) for the freq's you have programmed. Each area of the country have their own individual freq. so their not stepping on each others transmission.
