Uniden BC365CRS 500 Channel Scanner and Alarm Clock with Snooze, Sleep, and FM Radio with Weather Alert, Search Bands Commonly used for Police, Fire/EMS, Aircraft, Radio, and Marine Transmissions

So far so good- I got this today and set it up with the local EMS / Weather and programmed in my favorite FM radio stations. Two things that really impressed me was the signal strength- for an antenna thats smaller than most car antennae, this picks up way more than my car ever did. The second thing is the speaker. WOW- this little guy can put out some serious sound. I only have it turned halfway up and I can hear it throughout the entire house. Headphone jack for if you want to plug it up to something larger. The back-light is very nice, and the little things like sleep after 60 minutes, lock out scanning, the 500 (!!) banks of memory to store frequencies, and the auto-EMS/Fire/Weather/Air/Marine/Police scanner function is really cool too if you are unsure of your local codes. This has all the features you want out of a nice scanner for under a hundred bucks. Ive always like Uniden (they made good quality house phones and other electronics) This is of the same type of high quality- the buttons, knobs, everything seem very sturdy. This may be the last scanner I ever need!

It is nice but cant get any channels

A bit tricky on some of the programming but ended up going through it ok

once we were able to program the system it worked fine. We had to pay someone to program it, sounds easy until you try to do it.

This was not easy to learn how to use, but there are plenty of youtube videos out there to get you going. After the learning curve the product works great. The family can easily use it when I am on a call to ascertain our action level as well as estimated return time. Great for Volunteer Fire Fighters

I got this and I still cant get it to work. OLD

This was a good value for the money. Easy to program.

The stock antenna is on the left. The after market antenna on the right increased my reception big time. It just wobbles from side to side. Lean it to the window. This scanner blows my old Radio Shack scanner away. Picks up more channels. Bettet squelch. More banks. More pre programed frequency.Outstanding unit!!!

Excellent scanner. Only thing I had trouble with was most codes are more than 6 digits, as for this scanner only allows 6 digits. But after researching, you don’t have to enter all numbers when programming codes. Just enter what you can. Example: Code is 627.55107 then for this scanner you’ll just enter 627.551 and still works!

Pros: Nice clean design. Relatively easy to program. Turn banks on and off at will. A full 500 channels with no pre-programmed banks to waste your time. Good Sensitivity. Antenna always stays upright. Clock radio and weather alert feature a small bonus. Cons: Only goes to 512 MHz - missing the 800 MHz band. Speaker is small and sound is somewhat tinny.
