Well I like Uniden products, I have CB radios. This scanner is mostly to hear weather alerts, as I live in Tornado Alley. It's a lot to learn how to use this, but weather stuff was easy. All instructions were online only. PDF I downloaded. A nice scanner ,but a bit complicated still learning

The scanner works fine. The only complaint that I have is that they put a computer disk in the package. I have a computer but I prefer a printed booklet. I'm a senior so remembering programming instructions as I go back and forth from my computer to my scanner sometimes takes several trips. With a booklet I can stand in front of my scanner and get it right the first time.

I have a 25 year old Radio Shack scanner that still works but is very outdated. The new digital ones cost an arm and a leg. This analog one does most of what I need and that is listening to amateur radio repeaters, frs, gmrs and aviation. Several reviews mention the complexity of this radio so I was prepared, there are good sources of information all over internet, but no one source has all the information. It is a good radio with interesting capabilities. I gave it a 4 because most people are expecting a scanner that covers digital modes and because the online manual on Uniden's site is absolutely useless. Uniden should do a better job providing documentation. I would recommend it to people who understand that this isn't a digital scanner.
