 Great scanner with more functions than you can use July 30, 2010
Keith Eschliman
I felt like there needed to be a review on this scanner, not the manual. Yes, this is a complicated device. Most scanners are. If you have a little patience and determination, the manual is more than adequate to get you through anything you can't figure out on your own. The GPS features on this thing are pretty cool. I haven't had a chance to try that part out yet, but from what I've read you can pinpoint signal sources on a GPS unit. One thing I will say is that programing this thing manually is a pain. If you are going to get it, get the PC software and program it with that.
Good scanner but no written manual June 30, 2010

This is a very nice scanner with alot of features,up to 9000 channels stored in groups instead of banks, fire tone out, band scope etc. The biggest drawback is no printed manual. I agree with the other review, that this is very inconvienient.UNIDEN gives you a CD with instructions, which means your chained to your desk, or you have to lug a laptop around all the time.I use this scanner in my vehical, so it would have been nice to have a manual to keep in the glove box for quik reference. To find alot of the things you need to know requires going through many menus and sub-menus, and once you do find what your looking for, you had better remember where you found it, because there are so many menus it's easy to get lost. I wish UNIDEN would at least offer a manual that we could purchase for a few bucks, though after paying 220.00 for the scanner we shouldn't have to. Would have given 5 stars otherwise.
 Don't buy this scanner if you *need* the manual December 3, 2009

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.
