Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden BC346XT Handheld TrunkTracker III Analog Police Scanner

Customer Review: At first, I was uncertain...
Summary: 5 Stars

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 is perfect with perfect tone and loud output even when set to low.

I have not played with every feature of this scanner yet, but I am sure it is all as good as what I have toyed with so far. I have been using FreeSCAN to program it and that program has been good to me so far.

Pros:
- Clear audio
- Comes with rechargeable batteries (I have gotten 11 hours out of them with the backlight on infinity)
- Comes with a really sturdy belt clip. I was shocked it was as nice as it is
- It is easy to program through your computer with FreeSCAN (no Mac support for this) or through the keypad
- The display is informative. Signal strength and 3 different modes are just 2 of the pros of the screen
- Rebanding support and upgradeable firmware (obviously) help a lot.

Cons:
- Price - More expensive than its direct competitor the GRE PSR-300, but you do get slightly better features
- Comes with a SERIAL cable instead of USB. Save your money here, folks, I bought the TENDnet TU-S9 Serial-to-USB** (uses same chipset as Uniden USB-1 uses) and it has worked flawlessy for only $15
- Does not come with programming software and it probably should for the price
- Doesn't make sandwiches for me

You can't go wrong with this scanner. Those of you having a very hard time programming it are probably just over complicating things for yourselves. It really is not hard at all.
