  • Superb scanner!
Size: computer Style: Handheld Scanner
This scanner is excellent, I use it for listening to ATC transmissions and they are clear using the stock antenna. Range is also important with the clarity of the transmissions, but with good elevation and minimal vegetation or buildings blocking the signal, I was able to hear transmissions as far as 70 miles away, although not very clear. Close to the airport when planespotting, I am able to hear all transmissions with remarkable clarity. The feature to tag frequencies is also helpful to quickly switch to a different frequency, for example, ground to tower etc. Although it may be a little challenging to understand how to use it at first, but with a bit of practice and reading the manual, it becomes relatively easy to do. Overall, I am very satisfied and impressed with this purchase. ... show more

  • Get after market antenna and you have the bet scanner
Size: computer Style: Handheld Scanner
This is an excellent little scanner. I live in a rural area that wont be upgrading to digital so they can't encrypt their signal either. I can hear everything. I work as a journalist and this is essential for not only covering fire emergency's when they happen but you will know when a fire starts in your area faster than they get the alerts out. This is especially important for safety when you live in wildfire prone areas. This is the second one I have purchased in 5 years. I put my first one through a lot of abuse dropping it while on assignments. It works so good that I am buying it again to replace my old one. Upgrade the antenna with a 843B Remtronix antenna and you have the best possible set up for hand held. Then get a decent magnetic mount for your car and you have absolutely the best possible setup for analog. ... show more

  • Works great for Scanning Air frequencies!
Size: computer Style: Handheld Scanner
For the Price, this is a very good scanner. I've read lots of reviews saying it's hard to program, has poor Reception, and other nit-picky things but honestly, I don't agree. it's an HT (hand-held unit) with a small antenna not designed to pick up distant signals though it does have pretty good range for a "rubber-duck" style antenna. I added a whip antenna and instantly improved range and reception clarity. Connecting it to a roof-top antenna improved reception even more. When at an airport or within a mile or so, i get all air frequencies for that airport with clear reception. I only take one star off because battery life isn't great with the included NiCAD rechargeable batteries. I just upgraded to higher capacity batteries and improved battery life between charges. One thing to note is that this is an ANALOG ONLY scanner. Since most police, fire/emergency use digital or trunked systems, you will not hear those digital transmissions. I bought this scanner solely for AIR Traffic and it works great for that! ... show more

  • I would rate this 5 stars except for one very serious problem...
Size: computer Style: Handheld Scanner
My Uniden BC125AT now reads "SCAN MODE ALL LOCKED!" when I turn it on after just one day of pretty decent reception of my local railroads. When pressing the Hold button twice, it then reads "ALL CHANNELS LOCKED OUT!". The owners manual makes no reference to this particular set of problems. I have erased all programmed channels hoping that this would clear it up but it did not fix it. I have a number of frequencies ready to load into it from my PC, but when I attempt to use the "write to scanner" function I get an error, which I presume is related to this problem. The error reads as follows: "See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel.
