Just recent received mine. Thanks for the video. I now understand the close call. I really enjoy it tbh. It saves hassle. Very easy to use handheld. I started to work it out without much problem really. I have not had a scanner for years. That was a dial one as well in the early 1980's. I had the guys at Radioworld UK program mine for aircraft. So it meant that I could jump right in feet first. Great outdoor radio with the Super gainer Aerial. I will enjoy my dog walk a lot more for sure. I pick up loads in Salisbury. Very disappointing indoors. But that's to be expected on that aerial. New outdoor aerial coming soon. Thanks again for the video :-)
Depends what you want to listen to. The Xhdata will cover the Civil Avaition band, but the scanner will do the Mil Airband as well as 2 Meter and 70cms and more. I think the recieve capability for Civil airband would be better than the Xhdata.
@@driverfilmsshortwavechannel Thank you for the reply so in essence you kind of need both. I've got the 808 good air band but not picking much else apart from China radio stations on shortwave etc on a long wire. All the best 73
I want to order this one but I am afraid that I will not be able to work it because I don't know anything about scanners. I only have a baofeng UV 5RA with an Abree antenna 48cm.
@@driverfilmsshortwavechannel Nope, it's at 3 currently. Seems to be an issue with the headphones disabling the speaker and not re-enabling on disconnecting of headphones.

The default Aerial isn't the best, I use a Diamond RH770 for mine. Its a bit top heave but pull the signals in really well.
Would you recommend this over the xhdata 808

Effectively yes lol. I did sell my 808 a while back as I had too many radios. Wish I kept it, but I'm having less time to listen to shortwave now
How to brightness the backlight what steps do you do?
what is the max range for closecall to pickup signals , im using an outdoor discone antenna
Depends on the strength of the transmission. Strong signals can travel long distances
Great explanation of the CC Function Dom.
Glad you enjoyed it Ray! More coming soon!

I do have a playlist on how to program these if it would help.

what i want to do disable close call so i can listen to marine channels. then put it back on for aircraft ??
Function>Hold>select Close call Off, the exit
@4:59 that’s a digital DMR transmission
Can you confirm if i can pick up RAF aircrafts with the uniden ubc-125xlt handheld
Yes, it will pick up the Mil aircraft band
@@driverfilmsshortwavechannel thanks buddy I'll order one now
My radio's speaker doesn't work, and hasn't since I got it? Is it supposed to make noise with no headphones? Is there a setting for this?
Do you have the squetch turned all the way on?

Do close call work in the UK if so what on and where
Close call works anywhere, if it picks up a strong transmission it will pick it up!
How meter signál? Close, call
