> 3 dayThis scanner is a great bargain. I purchased the uniden bc 355n first, but I had lots of trouble trying to program It. I sent it back to Amazon and ordered this one. It is easy to program if you follow the directions in the manual that comes with the radio. The manual is very helpful with a lot of information, and easy to read. The knobs are large and easy to operate especially if you have trouble with your hands. The speaker sounds good with plenty of volume. The radio comes with the manual, antennae,and adapter you can plug into wall outlet for power. It also holds 3 AA batteries for power backup. The radio also will receive FM and national weather service broadcasts. If you are looking for a scanner with lots of room for many channels ( this holds 500) then this is the radio for you, and at a great price!!

> 3 dayBeen 6 months now since giving this out (2) Christmas gifts. My sons both commented how much they enjoy listening to scanner at night. Got online and printed off police/fire codes so when they say, 12-4 all is good or code 3 lights and sirens. They love the Uniden Scanners when power goes out, scanner also has battery back up so you dont lose the frequency numbers

> 3 dayOrdered the BC365CRS on May 31st. Very fast service from Amazon, even with standard shipping. Unit arrived OK and all parts were in the pkg as advertised. This scanner is very easy to set up & program; took me just a few minutes to program the ANALOG (only) frequencies in. If you dont live in an urban setting, I recommend connecting an external antenna, as this will provide much better reception than the plug-in antenna included with the scanner. I also recommend hooking up an external speaker for best audio quality. This scanner has lots of great features such as a priority channel, FM radio, clock/alarm clock functions, lighted display, and battery back-up for programmed frequencies/clock in case of power failure. All in all, a great scanner for the money.

> 3 daySimple and easy to program. Good for scanning basic police fire and emergency communications. Priority channels easy to program and change. Not much use for alarm clock features but has a timer you can set to turn off when Not in use. 10 banks can be programmed for Priority use or can be turned off in an instant. Good value for the price.

> 3 dayDoes everything I need it do and is simple to use. Has the police, fire, ems etc channel capability, plus the 24/7 National Weather Service channel, and the FM radio. The NWS channel is on there automatically, you have to store which emergency channels you want and which fm channels you want. You also have the option to have it alert you when there’s a weather warning in your area.

> 3 dayIf you live within an area still using analog VHF UHF reception of local PD, FD, etc, it works fine. You want better reception plug a rooftop antenna into the BNC jack on the back of the scanner. That being said, there are no PL tones, 800 Mhz trunked, digital, or newer P25 radio system capabilities. Do your research before you purchase, to ensure it is compatible with the agencies you want to monitor in your area. Otherwise, you have wasted your money and will need a scanner in the $300. to $700. range.
