Uniden BC355N 800 MHz 300-Channel Base/Mobile Scanner, Close Call RF Capture, Pre-programmed Search “Action” Bands to Hear Police, Ambulance, Fire, Amateur Radio, Public Utilities, Weather, and More, Black

Easier to set up than other reviews lead you to believe. Pages 52-55 of manual - read it carefully and you will get hang of it quickly. One drawback I (reason for 4 stars) is it scans one panel at a time (police, for example) and after a set time moves into the next panel to scan instead of across all panels at the same time. You can remedy this by enabling the closest but then CB chatter can take over if you live near an interstate. Having replaced a 20 year old 10 channel BC scanner with this all I can say is Wow!

Doesnt pick up local lime it suppose to

Great quality of materials. Much better than expected. Appearance is great. With these lights it really improves your visibility. Great buy and price can’t be beat.

Was not able set the channels needed for my area I took it to a communication center for scannels and outcome was told to me they were pre-programmed and was not able to reset also why should I be charged restocking fee if the merchandise isnt able tp preform its job and it doesnt explain that when ordered I also contacted the Uniden company was sent instruction and still could not it set. Very poor merchandise I recommend it to no one SORRY. Thanks

I do like it but I just cant program the scanner

I compared this new model,BC355N, to my older model BC147XLT, at least 30 years older. I found that the 355 was great for discovering new frequencies in my area, but comparing the scanners side by side, squelches just above white noise,with both scanners parked on the same frequency the 355 received the transmission less than half the time of the 147. Some frequencies not at all. Ill be keeping the 355 to keep searching for new frequencies, but I wont be retiring my 30 year old BC147XLT, which has been spectacular, never a problem.

Dislike unboxed shipment (sender? Or Amazon) easy porch pick) scanner took a while to program but eventually took the input.

Works great not A problem

when I turned this scanner on there was no sound, I connected an external speaker and it began to work.. I removed the bottom of the the unit and repaired the broken wire . Nice scanner after all that..
