Good product

This low-cost scanner is easy to operate and the included computer interface makes programming frequencies in very simple. Battery takes too long to charge, but that may be due to the quality of batteries installed. Very handy for work.

Very hard to get programmed but have not spent that much time on it the strap broke as soon as i put it on

This has nothing to do with product, only the way it was packaged. Who in there right mind would solely rely on a factory packaged item. There was not tape to speak of on it and thank god the little lock tabs held. I guess if the return in factory condition was a option if needed, it would be a stretch of imagination

Just a old product.. not up to date.. I have a old radio shack scanner that has all 800 frequencies that I bought in 1998..

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.

…and good enough to do the job. This fills that bill. Probably not for you if your interest is police traffic. Not si ple to program on the scanner, but is easier to program from a PC. If you are some distance from the rail traffic, consider 6dB antenna.

This is a pretty decent, little scanner. Lightweight and pretty compact. Not bad if you’re just monitoring local municipalities (on analog stations) at home or in the car. What isn’t mentioned in the description is that this scanner CAN NOT access/program high-band frequencies over 512 MHz. There are some localities where I live that use the 800 MHz frequencies and I cannot program them into this scanner. Had I known that prior to purchase I wouldn’t have bought this.

This was my first scanner and Im very impressed at what all this can pick up. I highly recommend getting a better antenna though to maximize performance.

The scanner itself is solid and easy to program. Have not tried the downloadable programming software because it is easy enough manually. I live in the suburbs and find the stock rubber ducky antenna to be inadequate for pulling in signals. A mobile antenna and a better rubber ducky have made a world of difference. Im sure this wouldnt be a problem in more urban areas. Good audio as well.
