  • easy program nice price wish this was didgital as many countys on digital but is nice scanner for price
  • The price was right and it looks and does as advertised.

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • gets good signal, it was easy to program was like programing the bct-7 i already have really nice set up the features are nice also also came with a accessory pack for the mounting in mobile and the cords for it also
  • 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
  • Found it to be a very nice mobile unit for "quick scanning" of NOAA frequencies, and CB channel 19 - the WX and CB buttons are a great feature.
  • I like the features, especially the programmable private bank and weather.
  • This is a great feature when you are monitoring a band that has some activity but not a lot

Reviews around antenna (4.37 of 5)

  • I don't think my neighbors loved me as much as they do now that I have this!!
  • Doesn't pick up much, I guess you need a very good antenna system for this to work well.
  • I enjoy the flexibility of the car cord and the window antenna.
  • I use the provided glass mount antenna at home and just have it hanging on my
  • Nice scanner, just make sure you put a good antenna with it

Reviews around reception (4.23 of 5)

  • I put it in the same place that my last scanner was in that the reception was great, but this one the reception is terrible.
  • Having an additional antenna stuck up in the window really helps improve the reception
  • Get the antenna outside of your house or car for best reception
  • My reception is terrible
  • The only thing I would consider if you are thinking about puting it in your personal car is to get a different antenna because there was poor reception with the stock one

Reviews around sound (4.21 of 5)

  • Sound is good when I can get a local station, but it hangs up on stations in it's given freq set, nessessitating manual intervention
  • Its too bad the sound is so marginalbecause the unit has some classy features and can accommodate a huge number of personally programmed frequencies
  • a external speaker really improves the sound over the built in speaker.
  • Sound is clear, easy to use , small and it fits anywhere at home or in your truck or car
  • The sound is so clear there is no need for an external speaker

Reviews around unit (4.07 of 5)

  • I would recommend this to everyone looking for a great cheap little analog unit.
  • Unit works very well with the telescoping antenna and its compact size is a big plus
  • Did not like this unit
  • Given the price I would say: Appearance - 5 (Nice smaller unit)
  • It could have been stolen, run over by a car or the postman of got wet enough to destroy the electrical unit.

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

Reviews around frequency (4.01 of 5)

  • " i.e.; you can program your favorite frequencies into this band, and turn off all other banks
  • This allows the scanner to cycle through the "important" frequencies at a faster rate.
  • Too, you can't eliminate or lock out all of the frequencies you don't want to scan because there is a numerical limit to how many frequencies the scanner will ignore
  • The 800 MHz frequencies are basically useless in my area though because they are secured/scrambled
  • This means that you may not even hear anything that is going on with your important programmed frequencies in these other two Banks because there will be too much other noise & things going on under these shared banks/categories for you to hear anything that is going on with your programmed frequencies that you needed or wanted to program & listen to for your purposes

  • It was a bit difficult to set up.

  • As for programming: Yeah it’s a bit tedious, but really no harder than setting stations on your fm stereo in your car
