I have a Uniden ubc72xlt. When I have the "Close Call" feature enabled
in the background I get regular dropouts in the signal that I'm
monitoring (every 3 or 4 seconds the signal is interrupted with a pulse
of silence).SNIP Is it normal for these scanners with Close Call
to behave like this with the feature enabled, or is my scanner a dud in
some way?

This is normal behavior... The silence you here is when the scanner jumps
over and quickly scans the frequency range(s) you have selected in the
"close call" options... You will here this same thing if you were to turn
on the "Priority" scan as well...
