Very happy with my purchase

This is a amazing scanner! It can be a bit overwhelming at first, so I would say this scanner is more for the hobbyist that likes to tinker with things rather than the person who just wants to turn it on and start listening. To get the most out of this scanner you need to download ARC500 from Butel free for 30 days, then a $24.95 one time purchase. You'll also need a subscription to Radio Reference ($15 for 6 months, $30 for a year). A external speaker with a mono 3.5 mm plug is a nice addition if listening from home. I thought living in the country I would need a external antenna, but you probably wont need one if you're mainly listening to digital trunked systems, which would be most police, fire, and ambulance. This scanner does not include Phase 2 trunking, but we are still on Phase 1 in my area, so not a issue for me. The programming isn't super difficult, it just takes a bit time of time and patience.

Great radio for the price!

Digital radio scanners are complex - this one gets a lion's share of frequencies out there...and really is not that bad to program (especially if you watch a couple Youtube videos). Great sensitivity even with the supplied "rubber duck" antenna. Very happy with it! Many digital radios can run around $500-$1000!
