 Disappointed June 16, 2008

This scanner was a problem had to reprogram it numerous times. It would work fine for a couple of days then not at all.
 This is no joke. Its the real thing! June 8, 2008

This scanner is amazing. I must warn all of the people that aren't good with electronics, programming this thing will be almost impossible. It took me about 8 hours to get the hang of this scanner and I am and electronic freak. To me the instructions were BS and I did better free handing it. RadioReference.com is a really good site for finding trunked systems and their frequencies for your area. I love this scanner. The only cons with this scanner is that it only holds two AA batteries and the battery level goes down much quicker than their 4 AA scanners. Also the signal is great but compared to the bigger older handheld scanners, its not the same. I like the scanner, its size is great. After programming this scanner it is so easy to use. I like to be as lazy as possible and after properly programming this, finding stuff is a breeze. It comes preprogrammed and its in group 9. If your not in a major town thats on that list, I recommend turning that group off and starting another group from scratch.

UNIDEN BC-246T Compact Hand Held Scanner
I was so new to scanners I was afraid to get my first scanner. This scanner is beautiful. Easy to carry around. It has great reception, at least in Chicago. It comes preprogrammed with many police and fire frequencies so you can hear it right away..right out of the box..... The manual was a bit confusing, and programming right from the manual was difficult at first. Join a yahoo scanner group...and Get freescan(scanNow.org) or ARC software(butelsoftware.com). Freescan is shareware, but it will make your life soooooo much easier for a beginner...It is logical, even if you screw it up you can put it back quickly. ARC software by Butel was $39, also a good product. Now I am putting in fequencies and tweaking here and there and I LOVE SCANNING. This scanner is great! So many features I didn't even know I needed!
Great performance but ..... February 9, 2008

Great performance but programming learning curve is a little long for novices like me, due to product manual complexity. I bought the ARC 246 software which has its own learning curve but is quite helpful in the long run. The stock antenna is good but the Austin Condor all-baud portable antenna from ScannerMaster is even better. In the final analysis, the 246T is certainly worth the investment of time to learn and the fair price from Amazon.
VERY NICE SCANNER, VERY FLEXIBLE November 22, 2007

If you are looking for a handheld scanner without digital, this is as nice as they get in my mind. Yes it is not very intuitive to program, I did my homework, and purchased the Butel ARC246 software, and after learning that I can make my scanner be configured exactly how I want it to function. I am also looking now at purchasing the BCT15 for the vehicle. The ability to have Dynamically Allocated channel, is the best thing anyone has come out with, allows you to have complete flexibility on what you scan and how you use the scanner. Only gave a 4 cause it has a learning curve for newby's especially to trunking. but the software made that much easier.
