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

It was great quality although a tad complex to learn how to use without looking at the instructions.

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.

Great product for the cost

Seemed to work well for nascsr. Used the computer to program it because typing in individual frequency for 50 drivers was taking forever. Had to play with the settings quite a bit to get adequate reception. Instructions could be a little more clear. Overall it did its job of picking up the NASCAR driver radio broadcasts.

Es práctico, con buena vida útil de batería, útil para mí y una buena inversión.

Only gets weather. Doesn’t pick up any fire, police,or ems

Works as advertised. You might want to watch some YouTube tutorials on programming the scanner.

ITS OK, BUT YOU NEED A LICENSE

It’s not to hard to learn how to use if you read the directions. Picked up signals from at least a few mile radius with no additional modifications inside of an Aluminum sided home. I would invest in rechargeable batteries as an 8 hour use and you will need a new set.

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.
