Uniden BC355N 800 MHz 300-Channel Base/Mobile Scanner, Close Call RF Capture, Pre-programmed Search “Action” Bands to Hear Police, Ambulance, Fire, Amateur Radio, Public Utilities, Weather, and More, Black

Picks up everything AM that it says it will. You can punch in frequencies manually, but it takes time. No keypad. But it works for me !!!! I have a mobil setup, and a harvest D220R discone. UAYESOK heavy duty mag mount 30kg suction. Does not move at 80+ mph. The bearcat rocks for a simple scanner. Yes I pick up CB freqs with this rig very very well. WX rocks, police, fire, rescue, air, marine (vhf), what more could I ask for in a simple scanner. It rocks !!!

It’s a great scanner over all. Programming is a little to hard for a beginners. I really like it’s low profile making it easy to move around from place to place. They have included all the cables in the package. It’s well worth the money. I am going to recommend it to anyone looking for a quality scanner.

Bought this for myself then decided to give it to my son for Christmas. WE have such a horrible fire season here in Northern Calif, every home needs a scanner to know what is going on around them.

Bought one for my daughter and one for my son and one for my own present. A great scanner at a reasonable price. Easy to use, but real professional ability to program by reading the detailed manual. We live in Lake County, CA where we need to have them to keep track of the wildfires in our area, as well as weather forecasts, police and sheriff, and ambulance calls.

Bought this on the advice of a neighbor. Not disappointed but it takes sometime to figure out how to get the best programming out of it, but I do like that it’s portable as well. Thanks!

Great quality of materials. Much better than expected. Appearance is great. With these lights it really improves your visibility. Great buy and price can’t be beat.

This is a hard review to write. I purchased this because as a CERT responder I wanted to know what was going on the Police, Fire, and Emergency channels. But so far the only channel I have received anything on is the Weather channel. I live near a large city in Southern Utah so it isnt like I am somewhere out in the boonies. Maybe the police, fire, and emergency people use a different range of frequencies than this radio is tuned for. I cant complain about the radio, but I am disappointed that I cant get the broadcasts I was hoping for.

In order to set channels (i have list of local frequencies) you can not enter frequencies directly. You have to select the band width to scan and then when to get close to your frequency hit hold then arrow up or down to lock in the channel into your private bank. Other wise you have to scan for channels manually to find local frequencies to lock into the private bank. That takes a lot of time. Also the internal speak is not very clear (tinny sounding) I used an external speak to plug into the jack (much loader and Clearer).

This is a good analog scanner if you know radio. If you do not know radio go with another unit. This will not get most government traffic(POLICE FIRE) today as they have gone to digital trunking which this radio does not do. The most traffic you will get on an analog scanner now is aircraft, HAM radio and marine. This scanner works fine for me.

Good little radio, nice features easy to set up. Sound quality could be a little better but good radio over all.
