This scanner is one that all those who are interested in scanners should seriously think about getting. First, it allows for so much more than only police and fire scanning. You can read the manual (available for download at the time of this writing) aand see all the features. I am writing this review to talk about the ease of use, from the stand-point of someone who has limited mobility and has a disability. The buttons on this unit are easy to press. The dials are also easy to turn. It also is very easy to set up. It was set up for me in about 1 minute.

Replaced an old scanner with this one. A good value for the money it has more bells and whistles than I need and found the reception on the FM and AM not too terrific but I didn't buy it for that. Uniden puts out a quality product with decent manual to program. Although I still had a slight problem understanding the groupings of priority channels. But undertand, I am technically challenged so doing it at all is a accomplishment. Don't hesitate to to recommend.

I was disappointed in the FM audio quality for the FM broadcast band. It sounded limited and mushy. Also it could not reliably pick up a distant station which I can now get on a boombox(I returned this unit). It's very well made and very easy to program and I would recommend it to anyone who only wants FM as an extra and doesn't plan on listening to FM a lot.

clock loses time on a daily basis and the set frequencies drift.

stataic almost impossible to clear.

have returned product.

dosen't seem to be up to Uniden standards

As the world slowly departs the 450 band, this is becoming a boat anchor. Since it doesn't have an aircraft band its becoming rather useless to me.
