Send me the frequency numbers to program it for my area and then I can tell you how it works

The scanner is a little hard to program at first, but once you get used to it, it goes well. Great product!

I liked everything about the scanner - like tone ,selectivity ,uniden got all of the things in common in one sector . I think I am a genius ( my girlfriend thinks i am a genius) , but I still havent learned the skills of programming it yet . Ive watched videos , read the instructions and I feel like I am unlearned and experimented with it -but to no avail .I would recommend this to my friends .

This is the kind of gift you get for someone who has everything. Or is bored. Or needs to have something to occupy their time while recovering. Or is part Meerkat (Craig and Shiela!). I would suggest reading the enclosed instructions more than a couple times before attempting to set this up. I would also suggest that you learn to program your local First Responder frequencies into it, or you wont be satisfied with your purchase. Also, use these responsibly. It was because of one of these that the rest of my family even knew of my fathers in-the-middle-of-the-night house fire and we could respond accordingly.

I bought this hoping it would have a better audio quality than the small handheld baefeng that I also have. I was not dissapointed. It comes in nice and clear and it also stays on the channel longer so you can hear the whole conversation whereas the baofeng would skip to next channel the split second they paused in conversation. It has a blacklight display which you can toggle on or off and a telescoping antenna. I live in populated small town on the east coast and I get crystal clear reception from the police and fire without having to even put the antenna up. For the people that say this doesnt work for them I dont think they understand how these work. First go to google and find out what channels exactly your police and fire etc broadcast on. Once you know which channels they use you can program them into the unit and then it will scan between those channels nonstop. You cannot just press scan without entering the channels you want to monitor and expect to get anything. Its not like your car radio. It als has a battery backup and a clock and FM radio which also sounds nice.

Nice product just a little difficult to program

Works great pretty easy to use I recommend a better antenna if you travel with it.

This was exactly what we wanted. Being a firemans wife, I like to be able to hear the calls he goes on to know hes safe, get an idea of how things are going to plan for things like dinner or other activities in case hes going to be delayed, and its somewhat entertaining to hear some of the crazy stuff you hear with police communications.

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