The unit monitors only what the CB channel selector is set to. Also it does not receive 70cm Ham or GMRS frequencies. This is just the way it’s designed. I would recommend as a supplemental scanner the Uniden BC365CRS.

You can load your scanner frequencies via SD card from your computer and upload them to the unit with the card. Uniden says the frequency list is updated every week. You can also use the GPS adapter to pick up frequencies on the move. It picks up digital and analog transmissions. It just does not show the frequency on the display. The CB works well. It is a bit pricey and improvements should have been made over years, but it is a compromise unit. I would recommend it to those who have limited space.

I’ve had problems with this CP radio since the day I bought. It get overheated so bad, I had to open my truck windows to breathe. It get so hat especially by the connection between the radio itself and the hand mic. Get to the level it can’t be touched. I contacted the company and let see what they will do about it.

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!

This CB/Scanner works awesome. I can talk for a few miles down the road and I have upgraded the scanner antenna to be able to listen father away. I can listen the plows and cops in the area I am traveling and it automatically updates my location via satellite so it can scan that area. Recommend this radio to anyone who wants both a CB and scanner
