UBC125XLT scanner found

[Skymaster]

Whilst walking the A1065 to try and see the F22s at the 'heath yesterday, I came across the above scanner on the grass verge.

There is some scuffing damage, and the belt clip has taken a bit of a hit at some point. Probably a fairly recent loss, as the battery contacts have no corrosion. The battery cover is missing.

I've just cleaned out a bit of mud, and inserted some batteries, and although the screen works and appears to scan, there's no sound. Not even with headphones.

With Scan125, I can see the frequencies that have been input, which include some unusual ones. So if you think this is yours and can identify it, please drop me a pm.

Update...

The scanner does work.
Beep was turned off. Testing with a more local frequency also helps.

Tough little beggar. A shame that the battery cover is missing.

there's a multitude of hobby 3d print enthusiasts out there, there might even be an existing template

Something like that has crossed my mind... in the event that nobody claims it of course.

Bookmarked, thanks.

At £18.95 delivered, a tad expensive for a bit of plastic, though.

Should be handed in to the local police as found property.

Could it have bounced after falling from a moving car's roof. Spotter could have had it on top of his static car and drove off?

[Skymaster]

That was my first thought. Quite possible, considering the location and scuff damage.
