Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great scanner, with very good specs, has a nice, small form-factor, and works reliably.
I concur with the positives in the other, previous reviews.
But I've got a couple of gripes, for which I knocked one star off the rating: (these are not deal-breakers, but just things to be aware of)
1.The included rechargeable batteries are just a bit too large in diameter for the battery cover to fit properly (the cover sort of "bulges" out).More of an annoyance at this point, but I'm concerned that it could possibly break eventually, requiring me to find a replacement cover.(Using AA batteries does not cause this problem, the cover fits just fine with them).
2.The arrangement and organization of the owner's manual is very poor in my view.It's not printed, which may surprise some buyers, personally I'd prefer it printed, but I understand the economics of releasing it only online/on included CD.But sorry, the manual is VERY POORLY arranged.I'm an experienced radio guy, just not with Uniden brand products.But I still am getting frustrated trying to find stuff.I would much prefer a PDF style manual, where typefaces, spacing, white space, etc. can be combined to communicate point much more effectively.Is this a big deal? Well probably not a deal-breaker, once you/I figure out how the various features work, we won't need the manual much, but it's a royal pain until then.You may have friends who can help you out on this, which may make this irritation not too big a deal for you.
3.This scanner does have a LOT OF CAPABILITY, including some really cool features, as a result, most keys have multiple functions, some (again, my personal opinion) are not as well thought out as I would prefer, ie not intuitive.
But overall, it's a good unit.My gripes are probably not deal-breakers, and keeping in mind the price, it's a worthwhile purchase. If you're experienced with Uniden products, you might not have any trouble at all figuring out how to use it, perhaps even not needing the manual, but if you're like me, just be prepared for a learning curve longer than you might otherwise expect.
