Digital camera reviews of Uniden BC340CRS 100-Channel Clock Radio Scanner
Digital camera Review: Scanner won't scan
Summary: 1 Stars
I messed around with it for hours until I realized it doesn't scan frequencies unless you hold the scan button down. Maybe mine was faulty, but I couldn't find anything in the instructions to indicate it scans without holding the button down. I e-mailed Uniden about the problem, and the company didn't reply. So I sent it back. A scanner that won't scan is virtually worthless.Digital camera Review: The Best Uniden Product I Ever Had
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this scanner from Uniden's website as I have had a big interest in Public Safety ever since I was little. I also get bored here easily as there is not much good music on the radio so I ordered this to be able to kill some day time.
This is a conventional 100 channel base scanner. While the initial programming is not too smooth sailing even for tech savys like me, the operation is easy once one gets a hang of it. It lets you save 100 different frequencies used by the PD, FD, airport, marine, and ameteur bands. It even has NOAA weather band, AM/FM radio, and a clock that can awaken you in the morning. While I do agree that the alarm is sometimes on the weak side, it beats having an alarm clock by the nightstand.
I will warn people that many agencies (such as police and fire departments) have now switched to more secure 800 MHz trunked radio systems. This means you may not be able pick up local chatter (like what I wanted). This trunked system allows multiple authorities to talk using only a select set of frequencies. Always research what is in use in your area before buying.
Overall, a very good scanner.

I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND. IT WAS VERY EASY TO SET UP AND PROGRAM SINCE I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF SCANNERS. I GOT MY LOCAL CODES OFF THE INTERNET AND HAD IT UP AND GOING IN NO TIME. WORKS GREAT AND HE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT.Digital camera Review: Uniden 100 Channel Scanner

I had an old Radio Shack Scanner.but it nevr wore just right.it would cut out on calls.and after a while it wouldn't pick up certain channels.
The Uniden is 100% better.I sat down with the book and in a hafl an hour I had loaded all the Channesl. b ut let me sat this first .
order the police Scanner book , it takes a little while to understank,but if I chould do it any can. it will give you code and more in formation to understand what you are hearing .like 1097/code 4/1020 and much more.

Very easy to set up the channels. Holds channels when turned off or power loss. Old scanner required frequencies to be re-installed every time the power went off.
