Customer Reviews:

Once you get past the obvious..........2007-06-28

Which is, don't use the keypad to program, buy the software! Once you get past that and setup your individual systems and play with the different features, it's great. I like being able to just touch one button and turn off a system I don't want to hear or vice versa. I like the backlight on squelch feature and reception with the provided rubber duck is pretty good. I upgraded the antenna, but only noticed a small improvement. Wish the speaker was a bit louder, but that is the only negative thing I can think of.

Everything you could want in a scanner........2007-06-12

Okay, it is everything I could want for a scanner. I'm sure someone might want something more. There is another model that receives Digital Signals. I didn't need that, especially for almost double the price. The range of this unit's reception is different for different types of signals. With a standard conventional signal, single frequency only, I have been able to pick up calls from as far away as 25 miles. This was the police HQ and the cars. You may not hear everything though. To make programming easier I would buy the software and subscribe to radioreference.com. From there you can download the frequencies right into the scanner. I would recommend you buy the warranty. You are going to want to take this unit with you everywhere. This traveling makes it more likely that you will drop the unit. Make sure the warranty covers accidental damage.

Excellent Product.......2007-05-21

Arrived very promptly and no damage.

This scanner is everything it is advertised to be.

It is very complicated for a novice user (like me) but I will eventually get it programed correctly.

WOW GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-15
