The BC-200XLT is an exception to Uniden's "radio on a chip" philosophy.  It 
is well made and almost.....almost up to what I want in my scanners.  I do 
have to give it credit, despite the fact that it has an imbecile clone, the 
BC-100XLT,
that has 100-channels and no 800 MHz capability.  The boards for the two 
radios are the same.  Theoretically, one could add the memory chips and 
peripheral parts, and an 800-MHz strip board to the BC-100XLT and come up 
with a BC-200XLT.  I loathe manufacturing like that, but it apparently saves 
the company a fistfull of money.

I am going to be stripping my WinRadio down to the frame in the next couple 
of weeks, and will have a fuller report of its guts and lugnuts in the near 
future.
