This review is from: Uniden BC355C 800MHz 300-Channel Base Mobile Scanner (Black) (Electronics)

I am a long time scanner user and own and have used many different ones over the years...from early crystal 8 channel ones to some of the very latest trunking, multi-channel units. I find this compact unit an ideal second or third scanner to carry in your car as it has so many great features to assist you when you are traveling...heading the list is the Close Call option. The "Close Call" allows you to 'grab' any nearby strong signals, say from a tower along the road, the drive up window at your local fast food place or to find the frequency that is being used by that police car or fire truck in the next lane. A great 'suboption' with CloseCall is the DND..."Do Not Disturb" setting that you can use. Any of the so-called "Priority" type options on most scanners cause the radio to interrupt every audio transmission at frequent intervals...usually every 2 or 3 seconds. The DND comes into play when you are listening to an active channel...and the DND suspends the... Read more

This unit is very compact and easy to set up with the attached stand. You just have to stick on the antenna and plug it in. Understanding how to use the controls, and to program in frequencies was pretty easy. I didn't think the audio quality was great, but I have nothing to compare it to, so I don't know if that is just what you get with emergency scanners or if it could be better. We could understand some of the local police talk and local boaters calling in to port. The pre-programmed feature means that the unit is already set up to receive most frequencies you want to hear. I programmed the private band so we were only listening to our local police and fire, not all the surrounding areas as well. If you don't want to restrict what you hear, you won't have to program anything. We did return this unit because we decided that we would rather have a portable unit, so if something was going on, we wouldn't have to hang around the kitchen table to follow the calls. This unit...

I'm using this as a base scanner in my home, and it works great. The trick is to "lock out" all of the noise so that the scanner will not lock onto it. What's even better is to determine which agencies you actually want to listen too (frequencies can usually be found on the internet) and set those up in your "Private" band so that those are the only frequencies you are scanning. I live in an area that has two adjacent cities surrounded by unincorporated residential under the jurisdiction of the county sheriff's office. Each has it's own law enforcement agency and fire department. They all use a common 911 center, but have their own discreet frequencies. Makes for pretty interesting listening on a saturday night.
