abunda_amazon_reviews This device is not the perfect scanner, as other reviewers have noted compared to some of the other flagship Uniden scanners this device is limited. This device is the perfect answer to my problem: How to nicely mount and use a scanner, a CB, and a 2m/70cm radio in my Ram 2500. I could get any two mounted, but not three without opening up the dash and mounting equipment on top under the front window. I did not want to do that! In use, the scanner actually quite nice for use while driving; you don't really have time or need to know the precise agency and type of channel. It just works, and just work well. The CB is a full featured CB, lacking only a CB channel scan function to be just about perfect (oh, wait, I wish it had SSB too!) So: If you want the perfect scanner, buy a Uniden BCD536HP (that's the scanner I replaced in my truck) - full featured, full details about what you are listening to, and other features to discover and monitor new channels. If you want a perfect CB, buy a Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB CB (the CB I replaced), with weather, scan, and SSB for a little more range. But - if you want one darn box to mount and both a scanner and a CB in your vehicle, and you are willing to trade some scanner complexity/functionality and some CB functionality for a relatively bulletproof, easy to use bit of kit... get this!;;Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;A nearly perfect compromise between a scanner and a CB. I reccomend!;;Hugh N North;;;I am both a scanner enthusiast and CB user. I do a lot of long-distance driving for pleasure. This unit is perfect for those drives! Turn it in and go. Simple. It works flawlessly. It’s very basic which is what I want for in car use. You can choose from any of the four services to monitor, police, fire, ambulance and DOT. One of transmissions heard one of those forwards will show on the screen. No talkgroup or frequency info. I’m fine with that. If I wanted more detail I could hook up my BCD436HP but with all the distracted driving laws the 885 makes more sense and does the job well. From what I understand it was only supposed to monitor dispatch frequencies/talkgroups but I have also been hearing TAC and TALK as well. It seems to handle encryption pretty well. If it stops unencrypted frequency most of the time it will release within two seconds. Occasionally it will stay on for the entire transmission but that is only happened a couple times. Most of the time it’s 2 seconds or less and it moves on. The audio is crisp and clear and on digital it’s exceptionally great. It’s loud enough that even with road noise you’ll be able to hear it. The GPS unit locks on pretty quickly. The CB side of this combo works great! Good RX and TX. I have no problem following the chatter on the interstate and no problem being heard. The BTW works pretty good too. It can be pretty active in an urban environment but it works. If you want a simple unit for your vehicle that picks up all the action without having to program or edit anything this will fit the bill. IF you want to be able to tweak what you hear (other than being able to select between one or all of police, fire, EMS and DOT) then this is NOT the unit for you. For me, I like the fact that I have been able to keep my 436 with me and not have to keep installing/uninstalling it in the car. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and can’t wait to take it on a 3000 mike road trip Friday!;;Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;CB/scanner combo. Simple and it works!;;Michael Cira;;;This is the perfect radio for my wife and I. The cb is good. We love having the scanner. It is only for hearing police, fire, EMS and dot close to you only those things. You can’t control the freqs you hear, no banks, no freqs show up on screen it only displays fire, police or EMS,, it is a scanner for just turning on and hearing what u hear.. there is no programming.. which is great for us. When you travel all around you do not have you keep programming freqs. Everywhere you go the gps automatically does it for you, so that is great for us. It is just a turn on and hear what u hear close to you scanner.It does cover phase 2 and p25. Also you can use the sd card to update any freqs for free. We love this unit. But like I said if you are looking to listen to anything other than police fire EMS or dot you may wanna look elsewhere. If you do purchase this item , you must first plug the mic in , if you do not have the mic in -the volume and speaker will sound like it is messed up. We love this combo;;Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great for travel;;Jason
