A little about me first. I don't have the equipment to analyze the scanner inside and out. I also live in an area with LOTs of radio traffic. Keep that in mind if you want an engineering review, or live in the sticks.
This radio is geared for the Nascar fan. If that's your sole interest in this scanner, then by all means buy it. It is pre-programmed with all the drivers in all the major Nascar events. Since the scanner has "Alpha tagging" you see the name of the drivers. The officials are also tagged along with the scorers and news-media. It also has a built in search of the frequencies the drivers use, so you can easily pick up new cars, or find drivers that made changes. It comes with two antennas, a typical "rubber duck" antenna, and a stubby rubber duck. Either antenna will work fine at the track. The radio is very small, and with the stubby antenna, you should have no problem keeping it on your hip or in a pocket.

Good Buy,

This review is from: Uniden SC230 Scanner featuring Pre-Programmed NASCAR / Busch Frequencies (Electronics)
I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loved it. He doessn't care for Nascar so he deleted those preset channels. He has enjoyed listening in to police, airplanes, you name it. It's small, very portable and lightweight. The only thing I was disappointed in was the computer connector. It uses an older connection instead of a USB port so we can only plug it into our older laptop and not our new Dell Desktop.

This review is from: Uniden SC230 Scanner featuring Pre-Programmed NASCAR / Busch Frequencies (Electronics)
For all those race fans out there that want to purchase their own race scanner rather than rent one at the track, this one is the best. I've seen and used all the scanners at a NASCAR race. This one has the most memory and will show the name of the driver that you're listening to(Alpha tagging). It doesn't matter that the frequencies that come with this scanner are outdated. When you go to a race, you will only spend $5.00 to have R.E. download the current frequencies in the scanner and it only takes about 2 minutes.
