Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden 300-Channel Clock Radio Scanner
Customer Review: A Pretty Darn Good Scanner for the Money...
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros: 1)It's a Bearcat! Uniden has been the Scanner market Leader for years, and have outlasted virtually all other competitors.... Uniden are known for their Quality and Reliability.Uniden have been around for some time now, and should continue to be.The Owner's Manual is straightforward and easy to understand.
2) it works as advertised.Ours reliably receives traffic in the 400 MHz and 800 MHz ranges reliably with only the set-back whip antenna. The NIST Atomic Clock, Battery Backup, All-Hazard Alert, and Weather Scan are all nice features. As noted elsewhere the Alarm Clock Feature works just fine.And, The 30 Bank X Channel Memory Architecture will allow the Scanner to accommodate an expand (ing)(ed)interest as new Frequencies and Agencies may come on line.
Cons: none that I can see except that 1) perhaps that the AM Loop Antenna doesn't enhance the aesthetics of an otherwise clean design (besides,does anybody really listen to Broadcast AM Radio, anymore?)I have not used any of the AM/FM/TV features since I have no real interest in any of these.(However,I would assume that they will all work.) ?2?) This Scanner's many features may add some complexity to the Radio, but this effect maybe diminished or eliminated by reading the Owner's Manual carefully.
Caveats: While I do not claim to be an expert, I would offer these suggestions:
1) Be sure that your expectations are properly set. 2) bear in mind that The BC370CRS is first and foremost a Public Safety Radio Scanner. So the Audio Quality on Broadcast AM or FM may leave something to be desired for some. 3) Read the Owner's Manual Carefully, you may preview it at [...],which has other helpful documents available in PDF format. 4)Also, It is one thing to know that a given Frequency may be active and quite another to know which Agency may be using that Frequency. A visit to your local Police or Fire Station can probably help here, as most Police and Firefighters are Scanner Buffs in their own right, an will most likely be happy to help out a novice . 4) Per the Manual, write down everything that you may program. (I keep my list in an Excel Spreadsheet). I have not used the Service Search Feature, so I really can't really comment on it, other than to assume that like everything else, it will work as advertised.
As noted elsewhere, some larger Municipalities and Agencies have migrated to Trunked Radio Systems which would require a different type of Scanner to monitor. Also, some agencies are using Digitized Voice Technology(APCO P25 or similar), which will sound like a harsh buzzing noise in an Analog Scanner like the BC370CRS.
The Bottom Line is that we're very happy with it; We like it a lot, and, IMHO, the Uniden BC370CRS is a good, solid, feature-rich Conventional Analog Scanner which should provide reliable and enjoyable service foe a long time.
Five Stars from this Clamdigger.

In addition to your favorite broadcast channels, this clock radio keeps you in tune with public safety, police and fire departments, NOAA weather reports, and more.
With channel memory, this unit scans frequencies at a rate of up to 70 channels per second to help you find the channel you're looking for. If you know exactly what you want, direct channel access let's you quickly dial in to your favorite channel. For faster scanning, you can even use a channel/frequency lockout function to skip over stored frequencies.
This clock radio scanner has all the functions of regular radio/alarm clock. The scanner, in standby mode, displays the time. The alarm clock can sound up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silent the alarm for an extra five minutes.
You can listen to AM/FM and TV channels 2-13 or use them as your snooze alarm in the morning. You can store up to 30 broadcast channels (10 AM and 20 FM/TV) for quick and easy access. Ten frequencies can be set as priority channels which the clock radio scans and checks every two seconds.
The Clock Radio Scanner's LCD lighted display can be enabled or disabled. A key touch-tone sounds to confirm you've made a valid key input while another tone alerts you of an invalid entry. The scanner requires AA batteries and will let you know when batteries are low and when they need to be replaced. This unit comes with the manufacturer's 1-year limited warranty.
