Uniden 100-Channel Clock Radio Scanner

I had a Uniden handheld unit with lots of frequencies programmed in - seldom heard anything. I got this desktop unit and wow...all the difference in the World. Chatter all the time. Now I know what's going on in my locality. Police, school buses, transit buses, local airport, ambulances, gas and electric companies, streets departments, animal control, prisons, ham operators and of course the weather. And I still have lots of space for more frequencies.
I got it because I was jealous going to friends and neighbors and their scanners going off now and then, but this unit makes theirs look sick.

I've had the Uniden 100 channel scanner about a month and a half. It has been my first scanner. I primarily have it set for my city's police broadcasts and listen to it while I'm reading or doing other projects. It's been informative to have that information and entertaining as well. I haven't had any problems with it in the time that I've had this scanner. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that I didn't seem to be able to pick up any other types of scans besides police traffic when I tried to let it scan for things like air traffic, medical helicopter, etc. However, I'm not ruling out that in this day and age perhaps those channels are blocked or perhaps the area I live in doesn't have reception, but I didn't have any luck finding other types of scanning to listen to. Although I have enjoyed being able to get the police scanning on this scanner and I feel safer that I have that information accessible.

I bought this for my boyfriend for our anniversary and at first it was difficult to program. The radio was easy but when we got to the scanner part I was about to throw it out the window b/c it was tough to proram. A friend who owns a scanner came over and programmed it for us without using the directions.

At first it was somewhat difficult to program everything, but once we were shown how to do it, it works great!

My boyfriend absolutly loves the shape of it, the blacklight, & the alarm clock!

I would buy it again and would recommend this product to anyone who wants a good scanner for a good price!

I am mostly satisfied with this scanner. The only problem with it is it locks on the wrong frequency sometimes. I think this probably happens with all programable scanners. No other complaints.

I was really disappointed with this item. It looks great in the picture. The tuning was awkward and difficult. Keep looking in my opinion.
