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

I bought this scanner for a NASCAR race to hear the drivers. It worked great and Im looking forward to using it again. It was super easy to program thanks to the PC software that comes with it.

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.

On Saturday the SR30C Bearcat scanner arrived. I installed the two rechargeable batteries needed and flipped the switch in the battery compartment to activate the charger. I downloaded the Uniden free software for programming this unit and typed the frequencies into the program. I connected the cable to a USB port on my computer, followed the directions and twenty minutes after it arrived the device was scanning.

Its fine with earbuds or the like, but unless you hold it close to your ear its very hard to understand what the pilots are saying. And.....I was an airline pilot for 35 years!! Even when riding in my car I cant understand what theyre saying.

Great product for the cost

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.

In case of emergency scanner is a great asset to have it lets you know what’s going on in your area specially in times of storms and other natural disasters, :)

Didnt come with a users manual only get static total crap

Like the scanner very much but have not had time to figure it out how to put the channels in. Right now it seems complicated but will give it another review once I have the channels programmed and see how well it works.

Works great as a way for me to monitor the local fire radio at the office. Rechargable batteries are not included though, so be prepared to go through a lot of AAs.
