Amazon.com Product Description The Uniden Clock Radio Scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner with all hazards alert. The scanner allows you to store and then scan up to 300 channels distributed over 10 banks. It also alerts you when NOAA or any broadcast station the scanner is tuned to issues an EAS (Emergency Alert System). Other features include a service search and weather scan, listening to TV on the radio (channels 2-13), and an alarm clock with snooze function. In addition to your favorite broadcast channels, this clock radio keeps you in tune with public safety, police and fire departments, NOAA weather reports, and more. With channel memory, this unit scans frequencies at a rate of up to 70 channels per second to help you find the channel you're looking for. If you know exactly what you want, direct channel access let's you quickly dial in to your favorite channel. For faster scanning, you can even use a channel/frequency lockout function to skip over stored frequencies. This clock radio scanner has all the functions of regular radio/alarm clock. The scanner, in standby mode, displays the time. The alarm clock can sound up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silent the alarm for an extra five minutes. You can listen to AM/FM and TV channels 2-13 or use them as your snooze alarm in the morning. You can store up to 30 broadcast channels (10 AM and 20 FM/TV) for quick and easy access. Ten frequencies can be set as priority channels which the clock radio scans and checks every two seconds. The Clock Radio Scanner's LCD lighted display can be enabled or disabled. A key touch-tone sounds to confirm you've made a valid key input while another tone alerts you of an invalid entry. The scanner requires AA batteries and will let you know when batteries are low and when they need to be replaced. This unit comes with the manufacturer's 1-year limited warranty.

I like it! January 11, 2010 J. Barnhart I Google scanner Freq's for my area and it works great! I use every feature. It is easy to program, just follow the instructions. I have a longer antenna i found at a yard sale however it works just as good with the one it came with.
A Pretty Darn Good Scanner for the Money... January 2, 2010 Roland A Belanger (Hudson, MA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros: 1)It's a Bearcat! Uniden has been the Scanner market Leader for years, and have outlasted virtually all other competitors.... Uniden are known for their Quality and Reliability.Uniden have been around for some time now, and should continue to be.The Owner's Manual is straightforward and easy to understand.
2) it works as advertised.Ours reliably receives traffic in the 400 MHz and 800 MHz ranges reliably with only the set-back whip antenna. The NIST Atomic Clock, Battery Backup, All-Hazard Alert, and Weather Scan are all nice features. As noted elsewhere the Alarm Clock Feature works just fine.And, The 30 Bank X Channel Memory Architecture will allow the Scanner to accommodate an expand (ing)(ed)interest as new Frequencies and Agencies may come on line.
Cons: none that I can see except that 1) perhaps that the AM Loop Antenna doesn't enhance the aesthetics of an otherwise clean design (besides,does anybody really listen to Broadcast AM Radio, anymore?)I have not used any of the AM/FM/TV features since I have no real interest in any of these.(However,I would assume that they will all work.) ?2?) This Scanner's many features may add some complexity to the Radio, but this effect maybe diminished or eliminated by reading the Owner's Manual carefully.
Caveats: While I do not claim to be an expert, I would offer these suggestions:
1) Be sure that your expectations are properly set. 2) bear in mind that The BC370CRS is first and foremost a Public Safety Radio Scanner. So the Audio Quality on Broadcast AM or FM may leave something to be desired for some. 3) Read the Owner's Manual Carefully, you may preview it at [...],which has other helpful documents available in PDF format. 4)Also, It is one thing to know that a given Frequency may be active and quite another to know which Agency may be using that Frequency. A visit to your local Police or Fire Station can probably help here, as most Police and Firefighters are Scanner Buffs in their own right, an will most likely be happy to help out a novice . 4) Per the Manual, write down everything that you may program. (I keep my list in an Excel Spreadsheet). I have not used the Service Search Feature, so I really can't really comment on it, other than to assume that like everything else, it will work as advertised.
As noted elsewhere, some larger Municipalities and Agencies have migrated to Trunked Radio Systems which would require a different type of Scanner to monitor. Also, some agencies are using Digitized Voice Technology(APCO P25 or similar), which will sound like a harsh buzzing noise in an Analog Scanner like the BC370CRS.
The Bottom Line is that we're very happy with it; We like it a lot, and, IMHO, the Uniden BC370CRS is a good, solid, feature-rich Conventional Analog Scanner which should provide reliable and enjoyable service foe a long time.
Five Stars from this Clamdigger.
good scanner;good value September 12, 2009 P. Pierce (Tomah, WI United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The included info about where to find local frequencies was a plus. The reception is a minimum of "3 Bars" better than my handheld.[a plus in rural WI.]I did not want the clock. I am very glad it come with it. The snyc w/ the atomic clock and battery back-up are great features. I like the weather alert feature.[heavy snow, severe T-storms and Tornadoes are normal here]I would buy this again.

Excellent coverage. Picks up all civ and mil aviation. Smaller form factor than I expected. Will run off battery if you want to take it with you.
"Excellent Radio for the Price!" July 27, 2009 Robert Nally (Hackettstown, NJ. USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a pre-Uniden scanner that has 18 programmable channels so this is a wonderful upgrade. I love this radio. It not only looks great it operates just as well. The radio is sensitive to pull in the weaker signals, Sounds good and clear, has plenty of user friendly features and loads of channels to program.
I like the clock alarm feature and backlit readout. Perfect for nightime scanning. The Service Scan feature comes in really handy in scanning the most widely used frequencies for particular Services. Police,Fire, Aircraft etc.
Besides being a good radio I got it for a good price here on Amazon for $119 from DigitalEtc.
Super fast processing and delivery. See my review of the seller.
Can't go wrong with buying here on Amazon. Good products and good prices.
Been shopping here on Amazon for about 9 years and never had a problem.
Satisfied here in Jersey!
