The XL was made pretty much without any surface-mount technology. That, and Uniden published a service manual for it.
The LT was a re-design of the XL, using some surface-mount parts, and with the physical locations of many parts moved around. Uniden NEVER printed service data for the LT. Kinda makes the LT the "disposable" version of the XL, if it breaks. And if it doesn't break, it's more or less the same radio as the XL, UNTIL you have to maintain it.
