5.0 out of 5 stars The most amazing NASCAR Scanner made, March 3, 2003

This scanner is absolutely amazing. You can download a list of frequencies online for all the NASCAR drivers, then simply upload them to your scanner... it takes 10 seconds and saves you hours upon hours programming by hand. This scanner also has text so you can glance down at the scanner to see exactly who is talking at the races. It's awesome!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to take to the track, January 6, 2003

I've had a Uniden SC200 scanner for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. I'm a big auto racing fan and take it to the track whenever I attend a race. During practice I can listen in to the drivers talking to their pits and the alphanumeric display lets me easily see who is talking. I pick up the frequencies for free from various Web sites (e.g. Race By Race let's me use WinScan Sport to download them straight to the scanner). During the race, I tune into the TV production frequencies to hear the commentary and set up priority channels to break away whenever my favorite drivers' say something (Paul Tracy is always fun). I usually monitor race control too. It adds a whole new dimension to being there at the track.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great package for the price, March 30, 2005

This review is from: Uniden SC200 Handheld Sport Scanner with 200 Channels (Electronics)

I researched a lot of models before purchasing this one. You cannot go wrong with the Uniden/Bearcat name. I weighed the features against the price and this was the most economical in my mind.

I programmed the channels myself. Once I got into a rhythm, I finished all Cup drivers and a good portion of the Busch drivers in about 30 minutes. We have used at several races and we have so much more fun being in touch with so many different aspects of the race - MRN/PRN, race control, drivers, etc.

The scanner is a nice compact size. I clip it onto my leg with an extra belt to prevent it from falling. A Y-cable is needed for more than one headset. I also have a 4 way intercom box (aircraft) and used the scanner with it. This will require additional cables as well.
