A great basic scanner!:
I purchased this scanner during hurricane season this year just to have a bit of extra info about what was going on. It has been a real treat to listen to.

Easy to Program:
I was scared to buy this item after reading how hard it was to program it from the reviews. It could not be easier!

When this kind of thing happens all phone lines are busy. No reaching police or fire.... more info

I have owned numerous scanners and was able to work my way through the manual and by trial and error finally program the scanner. The scanner does a great job picking up from a great distance, the batteries last a long time, and very small and compact. If only Bearcat spent some more time on the instructions!!
Very fine searching/scanning radio:

It is very well made and should last a long time. Many of the numerous keys perform two functions, one as labeled and a second one using the FN key when pressed first. It is a fairly heavy hand-held unit with back-lighting supplied automatically only when needed or separately when desired by the user. This unit the new bc95xlt... more info
