This radio is awesome, it works fine once you get the hang of how to use it

their is still activity on analog,this is a good radio,not very easy to program as were the bearcats of the 90's and even early 00's.it already contains the frequencies,so you dont need to have the numbers to punch in,as there is no number pad anyway.i receive a lot of birdies and dead carriers,still havent figured why.can listen to c.b.,taxicabs,some security,ham operators,both antennas receive the same signals and transmissions,one is not better than the other.i was hoping to hear csx-railroad but got nothing on those channels.overall for 86.99 not bad,but dont expect it to be alive with broadcasts.perhaps more than just the police have gone digital.

If you are just wanting to listen to local radio broadcasts of workers going about their daily stuff it is the best because most of them use older, cheaper analogue radios

awesome radio little hard to understand at first but found to be easy to program afterwards

Nice radio just takes some time and patiences to program

For beginners and most amateurs, this is an excellent radio

This radio looks great but it just fails to pick up any kind of signal

and I wanted something in my truck and in my home in case the radio I got from my FD is dead or something

Im going to be honest, concidering the reviews ive read so far i think this is a good radio and concidering they give you everything you need to use it without any aditional purchases, i think it's even more awesome.

Awesome 800 MHz radio.

Nice radio but not many channels come in.

However the radio is difficult to program and does not pick up broadcasts well

Wide band and sensitive wide band analog radio scanner

This scanner appealed to be because I wanted one like this style, not the portable radio looking ones, as well as the feature of being able to use it in the home and car

Radio receives well

awesome radio little hard to understand at first but found to be easy to program afterwards

Outstanding radio.

Great radio

Nice radio just not what I was

It would also be a great event radio

Great radio, analog

so i found this one that was inexpensive to add to my collection till i can afford a more capable one so far working great small and simple i will eventually install in my truck when i get a full function keyboard programmable desktop one.

I don't think my neighbors loved me as much as they do now that I have this!!

Doesn't receive as many audio channels as I would prefer, but otherwise delivered in an incredibly short time.

not as good as I though it would be
