Perfect size & easy to program… definitely like this scanner…


This does not support bluetooth out of the box.


Only thing i wish it was able to receive digital as well.

Price


For the price this is a great scanner and am glad i bought it.


This hand-held is truly a great value.


This one won't do that; the one that will is $339.


95 to rent a scanner at a race, and it must be returned when you leave.

Shipping


In a few hours i had found all of the local police, fire, and analog ems frequencies and got them programmed in.

Packaging/appearance


It looked new but did not come in the original box.

Competitiveness


My go to scanner died and i didn't want to spend top dollar for a brand marketed to hams.


Note: as far as i know at this point, ham repeaters have to have both freqs entered manually in a scan bank or order to hear both.
