Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not really sure if it was great or not. I purchased this because my son is a police officer and I wanted to hear what was going on while he was working however I received it with the box damaged so I don't know if the radio was damaged or if it was just to complicated for me to use....however the quality looked and felt great so if you know about how to use these scanner then for the price you should for sure give it a try. Good Luck! s

A happy Whistler customer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been monitoring Police calls for over 40 years, starting when I lived in Staten Island, N.Y. and worked for the Press core in Manhattan. I was a teletype operator and worked all three shifts, 5 days a week, and kept upto date on the happenings both at home and at work. It was one of my interests. Retired now in Florida I experienced plenty of activity by the police, ambulance, and other emergency vehicles, and decided to purchase a scanner down here. I now have two scanners working, different bands. At almost 85 years old it is my hobby and keeps my brain stimulated by recalling the areas the problem are, also solves my "what's happening now". hope this help you.

Handheld Scanner
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wasn't nearly close to what I thought it would be. Once the codes was programed in still didn't work. I was very disappointed.

It's not bad.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is ok. Easy to set frequencies. It needs a clear view for best reception. I have it sitting in a window. I have a whistler desk top style that works great for my needs. But it is not battery operated. So I bought this one for if the weather or whatever situation puts the power out. I have something to listen to.

Curiosity

good radio
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is a fun radio to play with i like how it comes with the option for rechargeable batteries or regular batteries. i do wish they had more antenna options for it at best buy but the rubber duck that it comes with does the job

Scanner preview
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well built and has many options for a good cost. Haven't picked up many transmissions locally, could be lack of range or possibly incorrect frequencies programmed in. All in all would be better for a urban environment

perfect for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had two radio shack over the years and when the last one died I looked for another scanner. Ordered a bearcat off another site and immediately sent it back. Too complicated, no AC plug included and couldn't figure out the computer plug at all. This one is simple and gets the job done. Easy to program for the casual listener

Bandwidth and clarity

The programming is a bit more complicated than expected but still straight forward. Sound quality is great. Bandwidth was my key reason for picking this device.

Fun to listen to
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Scanner is fun & informational to listen to. It gives a brief overview of what is going on in the area without having to wait for the local news on radio or television. Good value without having to spend too much money.
