Uniden Bearcat SR30C, 500-Channel Compact Handheld Scanner, Close Call RF Capture, Turbo Search, PC programable, NASCAR, Racing, Aviation, Marine, Railroad, and Non-Digital Police, Fire, Public Safety

Long Lasting Battery Power. Has so many channels available on this radio, that you cant possibly fill it up with frequencies. more suited for racing I guess, but great little compact scanner, good tor the price.

Only gets weather. Doesn’t pick up any fire, police,or ems

The one thing we dont like about it is the display light doesnt stay lit long enough otherwise a great product.

ITS OK, BUT YOU NEED A LICENSE

I’m a huge rail fan and I love that it’s got the different bands already programmed. Needed a little tweaking (meaning locking out spurious signals) and it does exactly what I need. I used it with an external antenna so I can sit in my car and have good coverage. Definitely recommend this little guy.

Pros: - Scans Quickly Cons: - Stock antenna isnt great... I dont suppose its meant to be. - No ability to name banks or channels even via computer (This is the worst part) - Should have used USB-Micro or Type-C Charging... this uses USB-Mini, a terrible antiquated port - Backlight times out quickly - Backlight cant be set to light on receive so you have to fumble in time to see a frequency at night - Function Key is Toggle, not momentary so you have to check the screen to see if its engaged For all of its cons its still a serviceable scanner for the price but these are issues that could have been (could be?) addressed at little to no cost.

I was looking to monitor aircraft frequencies. Right out of the Box it started finding close by transmitters. With a little manual reading I learned how to store those found frequencies in the empty memory slots. A little more reading and I was able to scan the preprogrammed aircraft band. Little more reading I might find out what else it can do for me. Battery started beeping after 3 or 4 hours of use. It shut off little after that. Im going to monitor battery life on the 2nd set a little closer so I know how many spare batteries to keep with me. Its standard AA batteries so cheap and easy to find.

I bought this a few months back and I still have a difficult time saving channels and navigating the radio.

I have worn out 3 Uniden scanners in 25 years. These are the best handheld scanners out there. New for me was the volume knob, while scanning when something happens you can give it a quick tap and it will stop on that frequency. The price was right because this was an Amazon return. Came in original packaging and was flawless.
