This unit is perfect for those drives

We love this unit

I managed to get it to work anyway temporarily to at least test the unit

This radio seems fine for a more simple solution but keep in mind you could get way more of a CB and also a Two way vhf/ uhf radio for same price.

This is the perfect radio for my wife and

I use this radio in an 18 wheeler and it works great

Even though I understand combining a CB and a scanner leads to inevitable compromises, and as much as I want to love this product, there are some major design flaws that are difficult to overlook

I'm very happy to support the product.

This is a great AIO product for people that aren't trying to have the biggest cb radio and don't require attention to keep changing areas for the scanner

The GPS is awesome

This can be done by zipcode or automatically with the included GPS module, which works fine

In theory the BearTracker 885 sounds like a great idea, combine Uniden's great BCDx36HP series digital scanners with a CB radio in one package

Last but certainly not least, I'm not sure how the Beartracker warning system works, but it seems faulty

This is a very impressive idea

In theory the BearTracker 885 sounds like a great idea, combine Uniden's great BCDx36HP series digital scanners with a CB radio in one package

The problem is the screen does not display any frequency/system/talkgroup info that a typical scanner user would be used to, and the local database does not restrict agencies by talkgroup

I did not want to do that!In use, the scanner actually quite nice for use while driving; you don't really have time or need to know the precise agency and type of channel

I don't need the details a scanner enthusiast would want

I am both a scanner enthusiast and CB user.

The CB/Scanner works like a dream!!!

We love this combo

Uniden has done a good job with this overall

If I wanted more detail I could hook up my BCD436HP but with all the distracted driving laws the 885 makes more sense and does the job well.

For me, I like the fact that I have been able to keep my 436 with me and not have to keep installing/uninstalling it in the car

The weather radio reception is exceptional and the severe weather alert function is a nice bonus
