− | The Uniden BC350C is an excellent conventional scanner for the beginner as well as the small town enthusiast.
| |
− | It has 50 user programmable channels, and five banks with the most popular frequencies in each: Police, Fire/EMS,
| |
− | Air/Marine, CB, and Weather. The BC350C comes with an AC power adapter, telescoping antenna, suction cup mobile
| |
− | antenna, mounting brackets for in-car use, and an instruction manual. The unit is compact for easy mobile mounting,
| |
− | as well as saving desk space when used as a base scanner. It has five preprogrammed banks as well as a Private bank
| |
− | with 50 channels for user programming. The controls are simple and easy to use. They include the six one-touch banks,
| |
− | Hold, Up, Down, Search, Lockout, Band, and Program. It's bright orange-yellow LCD display is easy to read. The
| |
− | sensitivity of this unit is excellent, and transmissions come in loud and clear. The stock telescoping antenna works
| |
− | very well. The internal speaker is rated at 2.7 watts, and delivers loud and crisp audio. The scanner scans very
| |
− | quickly at a rate of 100 channels per second, and searches the preset bands rapidly. The scanner is somewhat awkward
| |
− | to program, but not very difficult. The user must find the desired frequency in the band search, and push Program,
| |
− | then the Private Bank, then Program to set the frequency into a channel. During the Band Searches, the scanner can be
| |
− | easily overwhelmed by paging transmitters. It also lacks alpha tags and Priority, and has a limited user programmable
| |
− | bank. All in all, this unit is an excellent scanner for those who don't need trunking. It's a great basic, conventional
| |
− | scanner, perfect for the small town enthusiast.
