Great First Scanner
I know that there is only a bad review so I had to write this. This is a great first scanner. It is very sensitive, picks up all calls from across town and does most of what you want. alpha tagging would be great, but you can do that with a software package, no biggie. I got this because I wanted a scanner for home use, not mobile use, I didn’t want anything with batteries. This fit the bill. You find out a lot about truncked systems and this thing picks all of them up. Very Highly recommended

Good buy for the $$$
All its cracked up to be and then some. Pretty good guide, although I found a link with Google programming. I bought a dipole antenna and it did improve reception considerably. Weather Alarm programming is easy to. Yes, I would buy again.

Great performing scanner
As an Amateur Radio Operator, I own and have owned many scanners. This is one of my keepers. It outperforms almost all of my other radios. It does not have all the features of radios costing more, such as text tagging and digital capabilities, but what it can do, it does very well. At its current sub-$175 price, it’s a bargain. This radio has been out for awhile now, and a firmware update has corrected the issues that the radio originally had with DCS/CTCSS decoding.
