Would Be 5 Save For An Ugly Birdy,
By Wayne Schulz "mas90 accounting software guru" (Glastonbury, CT USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Uniden BC-785D TrunkTracker III Digital Scanner (Electronics)
The 785 is the same inside as the Uniden 250D -- except it is a tabletop receiver versus being portable as the 250D is.Like the 250D, you'll need to purchase a digital decoder card if you wish to get any digital signals. The card is inserted into a slot in the back of the scanner. The price of the card is roughly equivalent to the price of the scanner itself -- so be sure you plan for that expenditure. I've only got one beef with the 785D and that is the birdy (a channel in a scanner that receives nothing but loud static due to internal circuitry). All scanners have these birdies. Unfortunately the Uniden 785's is smack in the middle of the frequency bank for Troop H in Hartford CT. Other than the birdy issue (which you can overcome by hitting the scan button when it locks onto the static) I enjoy this scanner a lot. The one thing you'll definitely want to do is purchase software to program it. Your fingers will get tired VERY quickly of keying in the data and alpha tags for every frequency. There are a couple good choices for software and the unit itself only requires a serial connecter cable (readily available at Radio Shack). If I had one more wish it would be for the scanner to allow for monitoring of priority channels while trunking. As it stands the priority feature is only active when you are scanning conventional (non trunked) channels. Overall this is THE scanner to get if you are serious about listening to your local public safety frequencies.
