Uniden Bearcat SR30C, 500-Channel Compact Handheld Scanner, Close Call RF Capture, Turbo Search, PC programable, NASCAR, Racing, Aviation, Marine, Railroad, and Non-Digital Police, Fire, Public Safety

I find this good

it works the pc programing need more help

Perfect for what I wanted it for, a little difficult to use though. Battery life isn’t too great and being US variant there’s a few frequencies I can’t pick up.

…and good enough to do the job. This fills that bill. Probably not for you if your interest is police traffic. Not si ple to program on the scanner, but is easier to program from a PC. If you are some distance from the rail traffic, consider 6dB antenna.

Product as described by seller. No Issues.

Returned it. I wont work everywhere. Make sure it will work in your area before buying.

I bought this scanner for a NASCAR race to hear the drivers. It worked great and Im looking forward to using it again. It was super easy to program thanks to the PC software that comes with it.

Very few analog frequencies, upgraded to digital. Poor battery life.

I was told by a co-worker not to get an Analog scanner since they no longer work around Richmond/Chesterfield Co in VA. Emergency and Police have gone encrypted and not digital. I was given so false info that oh yeah it should work. B.S. Uniden did send me info after I had already ordered it that it wouldnt work after 2 comments stated that it should work even picking up Marine, Aviation broadcasts. All I heard was a picture clear signal for the local weather advisory. I pick up maybe a 20-30 second faint broadcast of some police signal then the scanner blew past it which wasnt what I wanted it to do and I no longer heard that. I heard someone on a ham radio discussing something about North Korea and that signal was strong but it didnt last long. It was damn difficult to try to program or place in a frequency to see if I could get anything else. It was a bunch of nonsense. I spent to much time on Amazon reading reviews good and bad and seeing what I could buy w/o a ham radio license and yada yada. After I sent it back, I went to Best Buy and purchased myself a $99 pair of Uniden walkie talkies for $79 since it was in the wrong place on the rack and there was no other location for where they were supposed to be. It was the last pair and they had to honor where it was placed. Havent opened it yet since it is a Fathers Day present to myself but it is better than racking my brain over analog, digital, encrypted nonsense.
