    Uniden Bearcat BC125AT Handheld Scanner, 500 Alpha-Tagged channels, Public Safety, Police, Fire, Emergency, Marine, Military Aircraft, and Auto Racing Scanner,  Lightweight Portable Design

    • Setting up the frequencies I want to listen to was a million times easier using the BC125AT application for Windows, rather than just using the buttons on the device.
    • I downloaded a free program used to program the scanner
    • After watching a Uniden video it's easy to use and one of the best performing scanners I have used, call and compact and sturdy
    • Reprogramming for local desired frequencies was easy using my laptop
    • The audio is very clear and the signals were quite strong using just the small antenna that comes with the scanner
    • well - it used to be called that - but it was too hard to pass the test, so the FCC dumbed it down and gave it a new name - those
    • There are still some police and fire departments using conventional systems and broadcasting in analog voice, and this scanner does an excellent job of receiving those, and it does an excellent job receiving railroad channels, commercial aircraft frequencies, and any other conventional systems using analog voice
    • I recommend using rechargeable batteries with this unit, it does drain power
    • Programming the handheld is not intuitive, although much easier using USB & PC
    • If your area uses analog, this scanner works great.
    • The police scanner was more than I’m used to, BUT the directions made me understand the bells & whistles: I like them!Great features, easy to use (like all manuals, I read them several times with the product in front of me), and the operational use and programming became easy
    • Most frequencies are available to look up using sites like RadioReference dot com
    • Best portable scanner I've used!
    • This unit is fine for monitoring what I am looking to use it for (Analog Civil/Military Air Traffic), but I would not buy it for monitoring LEO/Police frequencies, as most are using Digital in the 800-900 mhz range
    • Programming was relatively easy using a windows computer
    • If you are unsure what is used in your area check before buying if this is right for your area.
    • This is a great little radio used for listening to operations radio at the racetrack
    • Programming is a bit lengthy and uses scrolling via the volume control knob which was new to me.
    • Best use known frequency to type into to fill scan banks
