Digital camera reviews of Uniden Bearcat BCT8 BearTracker Warning System with 800 MHz TrunkTracker III
Digital camera Review: A little complex, but don't let the reviews scare you
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems like many of the reviews I read on scanners on Amazon.com talked about how overwhelming scanners are to set up and use. This scanner works great and I had it up and running in 15 minutes with all major frequencies in my county. I like the fact that this unit can be mounted different ways and comes with a 12-volt adapter.
