    Just what I needed for monitoring emergency activity! The battery-life on the rechargeable unit is long-lasting. Nice to take-out for a few days without having to charge.

    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.

    Disappointed with this unit. I bought it to tune in to my local airport while @ home or driving for quick flight. I live a mile away from my local airport and I barely hear the tower or the ATIS. Quality is very cheap. I returned the unit and bought an old Radio Shack scanner from EBay. Much better.

    The ONLY problem you are going to have with this scanner is programming it according to the instructions in the manual, because theyre not great. However, there are a ton of YouTube videos about this unit; watch one and youll be like yeah, this is super easy. The only reason I can think of why youd want a more upscale scanner is if your local police department uses digital radios - more and more departments go that way every year - and you want to listen to the cops. This one wont do that; the one that will is $339.49. This radio will tune in any kind of auto racing, plus weather, aviation, marine and railroad traffic. This can be programmed from a Windows PC; as I am a Mac person thats not an option for me, but programming it from the front panel is easy to do. This does not support Bluetooth out of the box. If you have a good pair of Bluetooth headphones, Amazon sells adapters for less than $20 that will interface your headphones to this scanner. For MOST purposes these are fine. For auto racing they are not - it is very loud at the speedway and you need isolation headphones, such as the Race Day Electronics headphones I bought from Amazon. Those are awesome. I use them for woodworking as well as going to races and they work well both places. BIG recommendation: buy Ni-MH batteries because that will save you a lot of cash. The scanner will recharge Ni-MH batteries so you dont need a separate charger. Program it before you go to the speedway so its ready for you when you get there. It will cost you $47.95 to rent a scanner at a race, and it must be returned when you leave. If you buy this scanner and a set of headphones, youll be saving money at your third race. AND its yours! Also consider: they dont rent scanners at airports or on Amtrak trains and that traffic is a lot of fun to listen to. Its really worth it to have your own scanner.

    Update: I cancelled return. After playing with I find this a good product except for no USB drivers and software are not available. Easy to program and find the local search very useful. When I go to website stated in manual it says not found. When I look around there is NO app available as stated in manual and product description. What I do find says for Vista, OMG, what, that’s 20 years old? Bottom line, NO APP SUPPORT! Might be good product if you you don’t care about drivers or apps, I can’t say. Returning be a cause above review.
