Uniden BC350C 800 MHz Mobile Scanner

I have had a scanner before. I got a cheap on with a tiny antenna and got rid of it. This scanner is great because it comes with lots of extras like a car power adapter and window mount antenna along with its standard antenna. [...]

None of my locals picked up with the pre-programmed scanning, but after visiting this site, I had every possible local Freq programmed into the private bank. Very cool.

We purchased this scanner because it was recommended by our local law enforcement. This is the model they use in their patrol cars. We have been very pleased with it. I definitely recommend Amazon as the place to purchase it. They are very concerned about customer satisfaction and they ship FAST!!

I ordered this scanner and returned it as soon as I got an RMA number. I thought this is the worst scanner I have ever owned and I have owned several. The programable bank will accept the same frequency as many times as you add it. The scanner will not tell you the frequency is already in the bank, so when you are scanning and the scanner stops on a frequency and you add it it always accepts it even if it already exists. The scanner also will not search two service bands at the same time and has way to many birdies on all service searches. I returned it and ordered the BC370CRS and like it a lot.

I purchased this scanner to listen solely to the air band in my area. It took about 15 minutes to set up the radio and program in the ten or so frequencies I needed. Reception was good. It was at first a little difficult to delete frequencies--essentially you have to overwrite a frequency you wish to delete--it's not as simple as deleting it. But no biggie, because once I have the frequencies I need in the radio, very little reason to change.

I have connected the scanner to a very simple AM/FM roof antenna, and now can hear jets 40-50 miles away as they pass through 24000 feet. So this scanner is excellent for what I need--just to pull in a few channels. It has no luxury functions, is just a robust, plain vanilla scanner.

Nice little mobile scanner. I found this a great deal for an 800 MHz scanner. This one replaced my obsolete hand held scanner by Uniden that I had owned for over ten years and only went to 512 MHz. The only reason that I did not give this one five stars is the fact that the reception is not as clear and precise as my original scanner. I had to end up installing an outdoor antenna to boost reception and now it works fine.
