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 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.

Extremely noisy. It is frustrating as heck!

We use it to listen to our local fire and police departments.

I got this and I still cant get it to work. OLD

This scanner is a great bargain. I purchased the uniden bc 355n first, but I had lots of trouble trying to program It. I sent it back to Amazon and ordered this one. It is easy to program if you follow the directions in the manual that comes with the radio. The manual is very helpful with a lot of information, and easy to read. The knobs are large and easy to operate especially if you have trouble with your hands. The speaker sounds good with plenty of volume. The radio comes with the manual, antennae,and adapter you can plug into wall outlet for power. It also holds 3 AA batteries for power backup. The radio also will receive FM and national weather service broadcasts. If you are looking for a scanner with lots of room for many channels ( this holds 500) then this is the radio for you, and at a great price!!

Excellent scanner. Only thing I had trouble with was most codes are more than 6 digits, as for this scanner only allows 6 digits. But after researching, you don’t have to enter all numbers when programming codes. Just enter what you can. Example: Code is 627.55107 then for this scanner you’ll just enter 627.551 and still works!

Easy to use just find the frequency/numbers for your county select PGM/ENTER youll see PGM on the screen then just put the numbers in and hit PGM/ENTER again that channel will be all set to scan and listen to ..put multiple frquencys/numbers in by repeating the same steps when your all done press scan...does not work just pluging it in and turning on.This scanner best Ive ever owned well Worth the $

Simple and easy to program. Good for scanning basic police fire and emergency communications. Priority channels easy to program and change. Not much use for alarm clock features but has a timer you can set to turn off when Not in use. 10 banks can be programmed for Priority use or can be turned off in an instant. Good value for the price.

Wasnt too complicated to set it up. Downside is it seems to interfere w the cellular or wifi signal if youre close to the unit

find this really good
