Uniden BC365CRS 500 Channel Scanner and Alarm Clock with Snooze, Sleep, and FM Radio with Weather Alert, Search Bands Commonly used for Police, Fire/EMS, Aircraft, Radio, and Marine Transmissions

It was not very easy to figure out, but after reading the booklet and trying different buttons it seemed to pick up some stuff. The police channel didnt have anything coming in but it might have been a slow crime time.

Extremely noisy. It is frustrating as heck!

Good buy

Gets enough local stuff to make anyone happy. Really enjoy my new bearcat.. Not digital but FINE for me. I am listening to channels up to 40 miles away.

Timely delivery and accurate description of product

I need to find out the codes for my area so I can use it for rescue and police.

The unit should of had the existing programming deleted and put back to factory setting!

It is annoying that I bought the antenna in the CUSTOMERS ALSO BOUGHT section of Amazon. The included antenna was better than the one I paid an additional amount for. Programing is not the easiest but there are a few Youtube videos out there that helped. I had to reset the memory first by making sure the batteries were taken out, unplugging the unit, holding down the 2,9, and Hold keys while plugging it back in. Once that was done things worked as in the manual and on Youtube. Speaker is plenty loud for my small office and the quality is good. The knobs are solid. The back-light feature is nice. Overall I am happy with the scanner and enjoy the Marine, Ham, FM and Weather stations as well.

Happy with product

Great reception and pretty easy to set up. It gets good reception with the stock antenna, but I hooked it up to my j-pole that I have optimized for GMRS/UHF ham. WOW it is getting in 70+ channels on 2meter, airband and of course 440+... Weather radio and FM are both great too. I wish there was a way to just turn a knob to tune FM but no big deal. It seems to be of good quality, nice knobs and buttons, has battery backup, and Im now using it as my alarm clock. The sound isnt bad for a small speaker and its LOUD. Great for the price I could not be happier. For someone who wants to get into scanning this puppy is a great inexpensive way to start.
