Fine scanner, just designed poorly. If it had holes to mount as a picture it would be perfect. I have it propped upright with an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469869694596 Sun, 10 May 2009 03:55:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469869694596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454816468612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tonyalmaida -      As a child, I always enjoyed listening to police communications. In fact when I came to the US, my uncle bought me some fake police equipment including a radio. Then, as I got a bit older, I began to sit in my room and wonder... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454816468612 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 13:50:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454816468612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_447711972996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author computermail - Despite the description above, the RCI 2995DX is not a 'Base Scanner'. It is, in fact, a 10 and 12 meter two-way amateur (also called 'ham') radio. I purchased an RCI 2995DX approximately 3 months ago, intending to use it as a full power 10-meter... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447711972996 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:27:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447711972996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432599895684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sactokings - In my opinion it's not program friendly. Hard to remember how to start programming or go into VFO mode. I'm not certain how to save memory either... Otherwise it's an okay basic scanner... I don't believe I'd purchase another for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432599895684 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 13:36:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432599895684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_379461602948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author iceman1947 - After purchasing the 2055 the readout went out. The dealer replaced it and the new one seemed to work quite well until the warranty ran out. It now has either a orange color only or a black matrix on the readout.

I was very impressed at all of the features that it was capable of. It was originally purchased to monitor my local area police in Michigan; however, since they switched... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424480837252 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 20:06:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424480837252?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423461949060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mtrenck - Here is it... one of Uniden's most advanced, most expensive, and theoretically best handheld scanners. However, the complexity of trying to program the scanner and a few design flaws make using this scanner a bit difficult.

I was a little skeptical after paying the same price for a smaller NASCAR scanner that is junk. However this one was actually $30 higher in price, but was just on sale.

This scanner was no exception.

Many departments have gone to trunking systems, which renders older scanners pretty well useless.

My first scanner was a Uniden BC200XLT, which is a classic unit if you know scanners.

As an entry level scanner, it set me back $120 CDN and was the cheapest around. By cheap I mean price only as this is a solid, well built and compact unit with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~296357039748 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 07:53:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_296357039748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_290150518404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spbonhartwell - The SC 230 is a fine unit. However, it drastically differs from the accustomed technology and requires considerable clicking and clacking while going through the learning/figuring out process.It is even quite different from the BC92.

All the functions work exactly as shown in the instructions. It is very sensitive. It picks up stations that my old scanner never did. The "SIGNAL STALKER" feature is a good feature.

It is on clearance at RS for $70 and it is well worth the money. It is pre-programmed with 150 common emergency services frequencies.

The price tag is on the hefty side (CAT# 20-526; $449.99 at the time of this review), but not terribly high given this unit's capabilities.
