Good radio Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I wanted a radio that took little room on the desk and had most of the features of a scanner but also AM and FM for listening as well. Bought this one on Ebay for around 36.00 shipped. Worth the effort. Condition was excellent and the display,case and buttons as well were in great shape. The radio has excellent receive and although the Motorola jack is not the best option, the supplied antenna works well. The radio also has NOAA wx alert which is plus. 50 channels for this radio makes it a niche radio, so program it for say all HAM or all available analog FD/PD and state PD or whatever is left to hear :)

The scanning speed is adequate for what it is. The plus to this radio is the AM band with a two wire push in jack for a loop antenna and the FM band receives well. Strong audio and display is large enough for old eyes. It takes up very little space so you could put it in the kitchen near a window and hear the 2 meter nets while watching TV without the misses complaining or get severe WX alerts. BE careful when searching for these and don't pay much more than I did but if you find one still out there in good shape snag it!

poor reception Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is my 4th scanner and 3rd uniden one.
-does not support frequency scanning, only memories one.
-It needs an external antenna anyway (doesn't receive the weak signals that my ht receives with the rubber antenna)and does not have a bnc or pl259 but a uniden one!
-needs 10vdc, why not 12 or 9? difficult to find a replacement adapter if need.
-does not receive airband
-trying to enter a local repeater freq: 145.6875 and changes it by itself to 145.6900!!!
-more "minus"? received it just yesterday!
+great audio and display
+fm & am radio plus clock, great equipment for waking me up!
