Uniden should be ashamed to sell a product of this type, in this price range with such a TERRIBLE manual….it’s an HTML document on the included diskette. Poorly organized, incomplete, very maddening to try to understand how to use this complex device. What are they thinking?? Note: I’m not griping about the lack of a *printed* manual, I’m referring to the very poor quality of the disk-based manual. And I’m talking about just programming conventional systems (i.e. non-trunked) which should be very simple to do.
BUT: If you don’t need the manual (because you’ve got friends to help you, or you are downloading a specific, custom made package of frequencies) my gripe about the manual gets dialed way back.
So I say “Don’t buy this product if you NEED the manual to understand how to use it”.
Otherwise, it appears to be solidly built, comes complete with a mini rear-mount extendable antenna to get you started, a 120VAC power adapter, a 12VDC connector, and the hardware to mount it. the form factor is nice and small, there is a rear panel jack for an external speaker and a front panel jack for headphones. The display is easy to read too. The internal speaker is on the “bottom” of the unit, that may be a problem for some folks but a nice touch for others. But using an external speaker is easy if you have to cover the built-in speaker where you need to mount the unit.
Am I going to keep it? Yes, but then I have a “package” of frequencies that are downloaded into the unit via computer (assembled by an associate who needs the scanner for “work” same as me).
But trying to program the thing, or even to understand how to do very basic things is frustrating and irritating beyond my ability to communicate to you.
