- Do you have questions about how to use Uniden’s close call function?
In this episode, Phil explains the purpose of close call, shares examples of times he has used it successfully, and what the different close call settings on your scanner mean in practice.
What You Need To Know
Close call is an option on just about every available Uniden radio. It’s a way to find frequencies that are close to you with a very strong signal. Close call does not work over long distances or with weak signals. Close call won’t help you monitor local agencies while you’re traveling. It generally picks up signals for communication within a few hundred feet. I have used this feature in situations like when there’s a helicopter hovering overhead and he wants to know what’s going on. There are 3 ways to set your Uniden scanner for close call: Close call only, close call priority, and close call do not disturb. Changing things like your antenna, the height you’re trying to receive, and power levels can affect how well close call may work on your scanner.

I've used close call on aircraft 6000ft up maybe a little higher too. But didn't use flight radar on that occasion skip to after 3 minutes if you just want info not adverts 👍
Still messing with it, but so far Ive only had luck picking up local radio stations from a nearby antenna farm on top of a mountain. Ive also picked up traffic from an Ambulance headed the opposite way on a freeway while driving so its capabilites remain to be seen on my end.
What's the least expensive pager I can get to hear FD tones? Don’t they have to be programed to the fd? I'd love to be able to get a few local fd's to free up the scanner.
Thanks for all these videos. So much info.
Your "support" plug was way too long. I'm leaving even before the actual class starts. Just a pointer.
I can live with the commercials, at least he is trying to help with free information
People complaining about free information.
I lost him in the first 30 seconds of being over verbose. See ya!
I made it until he started asking for money
Sorry, too much yammering..this could be shorter.
Yammer yammer yammer don't pay this bloody scammer... Read the easier to read manual.. Plus there's other videos out there that don't fill a gap with bs and ads.
Geez, video starts off with 3-minutes of “commercials”.
