    Once you figure out the tricks, it works quite well. We use it for Train Spotting. Update, Nov 2018. This little unit still works great. Have had no problems with it at all. Once you learn how to select you frequency ranges, it works very well. We have had this for maybe 3 years.

    I am really enjoying this police scanner. The only thing that I am not happy with it is that normal radio stations can not be programmed in to it (they are capable of being programmed in this unit) like my old table top scanner. More features than I expected especially for the price. Sound is great, size is great, easy to use and it is truly portable with rechargeable battery power and car battery power. I like using the close call option to capture frequencies. For me the 300 channels are way plenty. It also can be used as a back-up charger for AA rechargeable batteries for use in other devices. Bottom line, very happy.

    I’ve received two defective units. One was knew one was like new. Neither worked. I contacted customer support the first time and there was no resolution. 2nd one I just sent back. Would not scan straight out of the box and said All Cannel Lock. Going with a different make this time.

    Good reception in my town even with stock antenna. Using store bought energizer rechargeable batteries, they last plenty long enough. The only annoying thing about these is the low battery alarm beep that cannot be disabled. The alarm beep volume is determined by the current output volume so if you have it set high, the alarm beep will be somewhat loud too. Its a very frequent beep.

    My husband really likes this, after his old one finally died. He wasnt happy that he had to have me look up the frequencies online, but it was not difficult for me. He doesnt DO computers and doesnt like that everyone expects him to. Someone else may have gotten help from the public library, but its a done deal, now. We havent listened to it yet, so I dont know how it sounds, but it arrived quickly.

    The scanner works, but I still dont know how to do somethings on it without reading the manual closely.

    just received my scanner and programmed it and now i will see how well it works. ...That was friday,it is now sunday,so in two days I can say I can say i am still happy. Am delighted that i can plug in the usb cord to the power adaptor and take the batteries out and it still works.I havent gotten out and about yet with my 75xlt,but am sure it will provide lots of scanner type of entertainment....So far so good.

    There is nothing wrong with the actual device. Im using it to listen to railroad communications. I live about 3.5 miles from the rail lines and I get a decent signal after adding a different antenna. Its easy enough to carry in my car when Im at the tracks taking video or photos. The instructions are a little vague so I watched some YouTube videos and that helped out a lot. Im using regular Amazon brand AA batteries and am getting a decent run time. I also live next to a small airport so I can listen to some of the communications from the small aircraft. The issues I have are that most of the police/fire departments around my area have gone digital and thus, this wont work for them. So again, there is nothing wrong with the actual device. Just know what your area has before you get caught up in the Police, Fire advertising/description and avoid disappointment. I havent really had any good luck with weather info and quite frankly its just easier to use my smartphone to get actual weather information. So I dont see that as a selling point either. I do wish there was a way to have the back-light of the screen to be on longer than it is. Too often its hard to see what the station is when Im using the search mode to then lock in that station. Overall, its a decent enough first time scanner for me.

    quick frequency install via internet radio frequencies list for owners( 80 mile area.) antenna provided 5 inch is fine but i put it to my old analog scanner one foot long multi element (at peak of rooftop antenna )and got so much going on at s c a n mode. get one of these and you can quickly hear that police emergency vehicle transmitt clear speech going tothat location ( of your curosity.) offers options like 200 lock out channels that made noise when scanning. buy two each 2300 mh aa batteries and listen for a couple of days current draw very low.these go for twice the cost elsewhere , see you tube reviews and how to plug and play . enter scanner bc75 xlt at search space.

    The scanner is perfect for the amateur listener. I have had others before and for the price it more than meets my needs. The only thing I would consider a negative is the use of the volumn knob for other purposes, requires you to remember to switch modes to return to the previous function. Its only slightly inconvenient. Other than that I wish there was an option to keep the backlight on for easier identification of the frequency when in low light situations. Easy to operate and program. Light and portable. Excellent product for the price. Couldnt be happier!
