 Best scanner I have. January 23, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I've got this scanner and it works well. Kind of have to take time to figure out the manual, but not too bad. I have not figured out how to get the "display light on squelch" to work. Supposed to light the display when it stops on a transmission. Does anyonw know how to activate it? Maybe it doesn't even have the feature as advertised from where I bought it. (not Amazon.com)A better antenna would help also. I'm going to purchase a longer "Rubber Duck" antenna and also a longer ridged one to pull in the aircraft band. In all a great compact scanner. I like it.

Scanner works just as advertised. It is small enough to carry around, but still have all the features of larger scanners. Do yourself a favor though and get a magnet mount or other style antenna for your vehicle for the best reception. This is probably the same for other portable scanners.
Excellent non-trunking small scanner. June 20, 2005

I actually purchased the Radio Shack relabelled version of this exact radio for $80. I have also seen it go down as low as $60. I was stunned how much you can do for so little money. I already have a larger pricier scanner, but wanted this one for it's size. It's probably 60% the size of a normal scanner. This scanner does NOT do analog or digital trunking, but I did not need it for my application. The small stubby antenna seems to do the job, but performance will vary wherever you are. Prepare to buy a different antenna if things don't work out. For me, it did not do a great job in scanning unknown frequencies, but that is maybe due to the size of the antenna and where I am. But I went to the internet to find frequencies and programmed them in. Worked like a champ. I will agree with the previous reviewer, this is not user friendly by a long shot. You need to keep the instructions near you at all times. I have used both Uniden and GRE scanners, and I do not think I have come across any user friendly scanner! Maybe there's one out there, but don't hold your breath.

If you always thought listening in to the cops and fire departments might be a fun hobby, you don't want to start with this scanner. The included manual assumes an EXTREME level of familiarity with radio technology and scanner terminology. I've read the manual 4 times now, and I still don't know what half the functions on the (poorly designed) keyboard do. If you're sure you want to get into scanning, buy something simpler, and cheaper.
