Can you hold and search for channels like a conventional scanner? This kinda seems like a hybrid between a tablet and a radio. not sure I can trust this for every day use.
@sparkmedia1 To be honest it wouldnt take a whole weekend. On my latest scanner I just looked up some frequencies online for all the local ham repeaters as an example. And for local businesses that use radio, they wont be in unidens database anyway will they? If you set a custom search range, then just save all the frequencies you find you can have them all in 10 mins depending on how frequently the users transmit. The extreme option sounds good, but it should be something that comes with the it
@tapdancegirl88 The iPod scanner is limited to what other people have choosen to make available online. Often, these "volunteers" are offline (for me, at least).
@bben95 Not everyone wants to take the time to program a scanner... including myself. Assuming people have a low I.Q. because they don't want to give up a weekend to program a scanner is naive. You should also be aware that Uniden offers a "Extreme Upgrade" for people who want to use more advanced features. You should check it out... I think you will be pleased.
@Mainsail76 theres not much point buying a scanner if you need it that simple to operate. This kind of product is for people with extremely low iq's who expect everything to be really simple. Why can't they just scan in the ranges the things they want to listen to are in.
@bben95 Why "lol?" Uniden makes the best scanners in the world. They also make the vast majority of cordless phones. Most cordless phones sold under different names are usually manufactured by Uniden.
well the ipod app and the radio are two different beasts. Yes you can listen to stuff with the ipod, i have both an ipod and the ap too and a scanner, not this one (yet). With the ipod , your limited in what the app will present to you, where with a real scanner in front of you you can have much more control over what you want to listen to. You don't need to spend 500, for a scanner , this one is bleeding edge - i would suspect that it will come down and get better over time.
