Reviewer: B. Davis, peoria,il
i bought this scanner becouse i owned the bc350a some years ago..and this unit is very sensitive, the same as the bc350a..i live in peoria county in illinois and can pick up quite often whiteside,bureau,marshall,knox,mason county sheriff dispatches..its not uncommon to recieve 50-100 miles away,and thats just using the factory atenna..for those who are wanting a trunking scanner..this is not it !! it recieves 800 megahertz but will not trunk !! but that did not matter for me.
great scanner for the price..

Reviewer: G. Martin,
uniden has been known for great products and this one is no exception. I really like the lock out feature and the pre programmed channels making searching easy if you dont have a list of your local channels just plug it in and let it find them for you. The fact that it includes a mounting bracket and antenna for your auto is another nice feature making it easy to go from home to a vehicle.....(check your local laws) overall a nice scanner....
A Good All Around Scanner

It was easy to set up and program, it comes with an ac adaptor, and it hasn't failed me yet!

I'm streaming San Diego Int'l Airport Lindberg Field ATC 24/7 with it.

Give it a listen sometime at [...]

I like the easability of the scanner. Not as ddifficult as others. The biggest problem I have is the I don't know all the police/ fire/ emg codes.
Not sure

This unit is very compact and easy to set up with the attached stand. You just have to stick on the antenna and plug it in. Understanding how to use the controls, and to program in frequencies was pretty easy. I didn't think the audio quality was great, but I have nothing to compare it to, so I don't know if that is just what you get with emergency scanners or if it could be better. We could understand some of the local police talk and local boaters calling in to port. The pre-programmed feature means that the unit is already set up to receive most frequencies you want to hear. I programmed the private band so we were only listening to our local police and fire, not all the surrounding areas as well. If you don't want to restrict what you hear, you won't have to program anything. We did return this unit because we decided that we would rather have a portable unit, so if something was going on, we wouldn't have to hang around the kitchen table to follow the calls. This unit includes a suction cup stick-on antenna for use in your car, plus a mounting bracket and wires for attaching to the car's electrical system, or you can use the auto plug in for power. It is well equipped - you get everything you need!

Reviewer: Rich,
This is the smallest scanner made... However if you have set feq. you wish to monator this scanner is not easy to load.. No numeral buttons to push to load popular feq. It takes seven or eight steps to load one feq.First you have to find the feq.desired and then program it in the memory. Uniden should have added a lttle space for program buttons and made this a lot simpler...[ Rich
I was sent a used scanner
