5.0 out of 5 stars Good scanner, but spend the extra $20.00 and get the SC200, March 2, 2003

This review is from: Uniden Sportscanner 100-Channel 12-Band Scanner (Electronics)

This is an awesome scanner that is absolutely amazing for nascar events. But my question is why would anyone buy this scanner when you could get the Uniden SC200 scanner which has the exact same interface and looks the same as this scanner. Unlike the SC180, the SC200 is PC programmable, which means you don't have to spend hours programming frequencies and TEXT-NAMES into the unit. The SC200 also has and extra 100 channels for a total of 200 and it has CTCSS/CDCSS tone squelch control which ALL the NASCAR drivers use. Drop an extra $20 and get a scanner you will REALLY love.

This review is from: Uniden Sportscanner 100-Channel 12-Band Scanner (Electronics)

I love this scanner. I use it when I attend Nascar races. It has several nice options which I like. This scanner has 100 channels that you can preset frequencies on. It has alpha numeric capabilities that allow you to save names on the channels. You can set Priority frequencies for every bank of 10 channels or so. It has automatic weather with one push of a button. This model is rechargeable, and comes with an AC adapter to keep the batteries well charged throughout a race. This scanner also has a backlight so you can see the channels in the dark for those night races. This is the same scanner that Racing Electronics sells at the race track on Winston Cup Weekends. They also have several nice options available for this scanner such as a splitter for 2 headsets, various headphones/headsets, short nubby antenna's etc.

Bottomline, this scanner is awesome. If you are a Nascar fan, you don't know what you are missing if you haven't brought a scanner to the track. The Sportcat 180 gives you everything you could possibly need, and will greatly enhance your racing experience. Buy this scanner now before you head to the track!!!
