33 of 35 people found the following review helpful:  Great scanner, but....., By Zippo (California) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Uniden BC346XT Handheld TrunkTracker III Analog Police Scanner (Electronics) This is a great scanner, with very good specs, has a nice, small form-factor, and works reliably. I concur with the positives in the other, previous reviews. But I've got a couple of gripes, for which I knocked one star off the rating: (these are not deal-breakers, but just things to be aware of) 1. The included rechargeable batteries are just a bit too large in diameter for the battery cover to fit properly (the cover sort of "bulges" out). More of an annoyance at this point, but I'm concerned that it could possibly break eventually, requiring me to find a replacement cover. (Using AA batteries does not cause this problem, the cover fits just fine with them). 2. The arrangement and organization of the owner's manual is very poor in my view. It's not printed, which may surprise some buyers, personally I'd prefer it printed, but I understand the economics of releasing it only online/on included CD. But sorry, the manual is...Read more 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful:  At first, I was uncertain..., By Drowsiness (Boston, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Uniden BC346XT Handheld TrunkTracker III Analog Police Scanner (Electronics) When I was shopping for a new portable scanner, I was looking at the GRE PSR-300 and this Uniden BC346XT. Both are great scanners as far as reviews and features go, but I ultimately settled on the higher priced BC346XT (obviously) because it had some features that I absolutely wanted which the GRE scanner lacked. The only downside(s) so far is that this scanner is up to $70 more in price than the GRE and that Amazon dropped the price by $18 AFTER I got it shipped to me. Hehe... so frustrating! I could have gotten it for a better price locally, but then the sales tax comes in and Amazon was just cheaper overall.
Anyway, back to the scanner. This thing is amazing. I've had it for going on 3 days now (since 5/28/2010) and after a short learning curve (scanners have sure changed), this thing is just wonderful. Its size is great. I honestly thought it would be bigger than it really is judging from the images I have seen online, but it is REALLY compact. The audio...Read more 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Difficult at first, but great once you get the hang of it., By This review is from: Uniden BC346XT Handheld TrunkTracker III Analog Police Scanner (Electronics) I was given this model as a free upgrade due to the one I ordered being out of stock. At first it is a little hard to program since I didnt buy the software, but I read some help forums I got from google searching the model and it was a breeze. Now that I have all my locals programmed I love it. I pick up police units that are 40 miles or more away from me at times. It is kind of funny though when the close call feature pick up drive thru windows and you can hear what everyone around you is ordering. I gave it four stars because the manual is only on disk and is very confusing. Google search for help and your set. Also I use this site to get all the freqs I could ever need and they are very accurate [..] |
