This is an outstanding product--and made in USA. These little radios are far better than I had ever imagined. They have been used on a diffcult construction project. They worked better than those expensive "name brand" hand radios--all the contractors bought there because they are just better. The price is so good they bought more of them to equip almost every worker. Best of all they will take one heck of beating and still work.

Uniden Atlantis 250BK Black Waterproof Handheld VHF Marine Radio Review

(More customer reviews)
This VHF is less expensive than others, but I have noticed that it's receive and transmit capabilities do not match those of the VHF's my friends take out.
I know it says 5 watts, but after trying to hail a nearby village I realized that this VHF would not reach while another would.
I would recommend the Atlantis model that is about half the size of this one, not sure of the model number, but it looks similar to this one, just smaller.

This speaker was as described except that the grill was glued into place and had to be removed to do a proper install.the screw heads to attach to the wall were under the grill and given that the grill was glued in it could not be installed without destroying the grill and digging it out. Now, we cannot find another grill to buy and the company is unresponsive to our request to purchase another.

Uniden Bearcat BCT8 BearTracker Warning System with 800 MHz TrunkTracker III Review

Uniden Bearcat BCT8 BearTracker Warning System with 800 MHz TrunkTracker III
Average Reviews:

If you're not sure about scanning or especially trunking, this would be a great way to experience it without spending the bigger bucks for the higher end scanners. I have them also, but purchased this one for a barebones emergency communications room for my employer. The radio functionality is just as good as my much more expensive radios and this one was just as easy to program too(I agree with a previous reviewer that ARC8 from Butel is the way to work with this radio). As a matter of fact, I would recommend to anyone planning on the purchase of a computer-programmable scanner that you should include a software package in your budget. There's just no easier way to go - it avoids all the button pushing on the radio. (Note: do not bother with the included crippled software or its upgrade; ARC8 and other choices that will work better and are simpler.)

The only thing this radio really lacks is the alphanumberic tags - you'll need to remember what id is what service when it stops. But the price is SO much less!

Update 7/06: With the FCC's bandplan change coming soon, it's good to know that this radio IS firmware upgradeable so that you will not lose the trunking ability when the bandplan changes arrive in your area.
The travel features are fun - when I travel, I don't care if I'm listening to the PD district or beat that I am staying in, I just want to hear something! The search features and control-channel-only mode will allow easy use in a city away from home. All the rest of the features - good audio, nice backlighting, decent size, quality of build - go along with how good Uniden has been making scanners.

This would make a great first scanner, and it also makes a great 4th one too! And if you're thinking this might be too expensive for a first scanner - spend the extra money for this one over the BC350C, it's a LOT easier to use.
