    Great scanner/radio
    5 Stars
    Great scanner/radio
    Very user-friendly. All recivable channels are easily added into memory, scan flawlessly and super fast, At approx. $99, this is an amzing value. I paired it withe a bluetooth tx adapter and can listen quitetly with ear buds or open-ear headsets. Years ago I paid $400 for a strictly aircraft band scanner that was state of the art at that time. This Uniden is far and away superior at1/4 the price!

    Dislikes:
    *only analog, will not receive digital or trunking channels
    *does not cover frequencies higher than 512mhz

    Over all this radio is really great for what it is: a conventional analog scanner. Where I live, everything except the county sheriff is conventional analog so it's great for me. Very sensitive to distant signals although I would suggest an external antenna for it. The included antenna is very limited.

    4.0 out of 5 stars What the manual doesn't tell you
    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    It works and is constructed well, but there are a few quirks to be aware of, and the manual is disappointing. If you feel frustrated trying to get it to do anything, you're not alone!

    First, understand that this scanner does NOT support naming channels, and it also does NOT support CTCSS/DCS squelch. It's carrier squelch only. If you need these features, you'll want the next model up, the BCT15X.

    Next, here's how I programmed my scanner:

    - One bank is the amateur radio calling frequences.
    - One bank is the local amateur radio repeaters.
    - One bank is all the Family Radio Services (FRS), GMRS, and MURS frequencies.
    - One bank is the CB radio frequencies.
    - One bank is the local airport traffic control frequencies.
    - One bank is the state highway patrol frequency. (The city is on a digital trunked system so I can't program the city police in, only the state highway patrol.)
    - One bank is the frequency of my home intercom.

    Usually I leave the amateur radio calling frequencies bank and the home intercom frequency bank turned on, and I turn the others on whenever I feel like it. It's very easy to toggle a bank on and off, just press the number button of that bank (0-9).

    In the process, here's what I learned that the manual didn't make very clear:

    1. This an analog-only, non-trunking scanner, with a low price to match. You can listen to aircraft and air traffic control towers, amateur radio, satellites, nearby businesses, citizens band (CB) radios, FRS/GMRS/MURS walkie talkies, marine bands, and so on. You can NOT listen to trunking or digital communications, so if your city or county uses either of those, you'll need a trunking scanner such as the BCT15X (at 2x the price) and hope you want to listen to isn't digital, or a digital scanner such as the BCD996P2 (at 4x the price) and hope what you want to listen to isn't encrypted. California Highway Patrol still uses analog frequency 39.8 MHz so if that's all you need then you're good with an analog non-trunking scanner.

    2. The FM radio doesn't support HD radio.

    3. The difference between the BC365CRS and the discontinued BC370CRS is the clock on the 370 is radio controlled (self-setting) and the 370 supports the 800 MHz band and the AM broadcast band. The difference between the BC365CRS and the discontinued BC345CRS is the 345 supports the AM broadcast band.

    4. The manual doesn't explain how to tune to a specific frequency without programming it. The answer is you can't, except for FM Radio.

    5. The manual doesn't explain how to scan for FM Radio stations. You can't. Even in "search" mode, the squelch dial mysteriously has no effect through the FM Broadcast band. This is a failure of user interface design.

    6. The word "channel" means either a channelized frequency or a programmed channel. The manual conflates the two meanings. This is a failure of technical writing.

    7. The BC365CRS won't let you program whatever it believes to be an off-channel frequency such as 447.560 MHz which is an active frequency in southern California. If you try, it automatically chooses the next closest channel.

    8. Channel Bank 1 is always programmed channels 1-50, Bank 2 is channels 51-100, and so on. You have to infer this from the table on page 22.

    9. The manual on page 9 says, "Press 0-9 and HOLD to directly access any stored frequency." This is incorrect. Press HOLD to stop scanning, then type in the channel number (1-500), then HOLD again.

    10. The manual doesn't explain the difference between "Priority DND" and "Priority OFF".

    11. When programming a frequency, to cancel, just press the "./CLR" button to exit.

    12. The method for programming FM channels is completely different than for programming scanner channels. This is another user interface design failure.

    13. The two modes of tuning FM are "direct entry mode" and "channel memory mode". Direct Entry Mode is selected by pressing SVC/DIR. Channel Memory Mode is selected by pressing PRI/MEM. You're always in one mode or the other, just remember this.

    14. The different mode buttons are all over the place. There's the Limit Search mode (at the top), Service Search mode (top) and Scan mode (the SCAN button to the right of the numerical keypad).

    This scanner is very good quality for the money. Very reasonably priced. It's easy to program and has a good quality sound.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Disappointed
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022

    I originally purchased this scanner to supplement a 1989 vintage Bearcat 210XLT to be able to scan my local PD, FD, EMS "extra" frequencies". With the 210XLT only having 2 banks of 20 channels each, I was not able to have the capacity that I wanted. I thought that by having 10 banks of 50 channels each plus a much faster scan speed, this would fill the bill perfectly. To say I am slightly disappointed is a bit of an understatement. First off, the programming is not as difficult as some reviewers have indicated. Yes, it is a slightly different process than the 210XLT, but just read the instructions and you will be fine. My two biggest complaints are that the reception doesn't come anywhere close the the 210XLT. I have programmed them to the exact frequencies and sitting a few feet apart. The 365CRS only picks up approximately 60 percent of the transmissions that the 210XLT receives and most of the time it ends up dropping the transmission. I have tried programming on multiple banks and the problem still persists. My other complaint is regarding the quality of the built-in speaker. This speaker is pretty much next to useless. The audio sounds "tinny" and is difficult to understand. I plan to hook up a better quality external speaker in hopes of at least correcting this issue. I also have the squelch on both units set as sensitive as it will go but the reception has not improved. I have also tried relocating the unit and nothing has changed. If you plan to buy this with the hopes of listening to FM, you might as well forget that. I am virtually on top of an FM station and can just barely receive their programming. In closing, before you buy this, I would check out flea markets, auctions, etc and try to pickup an "older" Bearcat scanner if you want to stay with the brand. It is disheartening to see another brand go down the tubes as far as quality is concerned. If your locale is anticipating on changing to digital in the future, I would hold off and invest in digital equipment. Unfortunately, my area and surrounding counties have no plans to convert to digital in the near future.

    As a content creator and technology enthusiast, staying informed is crucial for both my personal and professional life. That's why I was thrilled to add the UNIDEN UNNBC365CRS 500-Channel Scanner with Weather Alert to my arsenal of tools.

    Let me tell you, this scanner is an absolute game-changer. With its 500-channel capacity, I can monitor a wide range of frequencies, from local emergency services to weather broadcasts, ensuring that I'm always up to date with the latest developments in my area.

    The weather alert feature is particularly impressive. Living in an area prone to inclement weather, having real-time updates on storms, hurricanes, and other severe conditions is invaluable. The scanner's ability to automatically switch to the weather channel and alert me to any impending dangers gives me peace of mind and allows me to take necessary precautions to keep myself and my viewers safe.

    But the UNIDEN UNNBC365CRS is more than just a scanner—it's a powerful tool for content creation. Whether I'm live streaming breaking news events, capturing behind-the-scenes footage for my vlogs, or conducting interviews with local officials, having access to accurate and timely information is essential. With this scanner by my side, I can provide my audience with up-to-the-minute updates and engage them in meaningful conversations about the world around us.

    Installation and setup were a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly interface and comprehensive user manual. Within minutes, I had the scanner programmed with all the channels I needed, ready to start scanning and broadcasting.

    Overall, I couldn't be happier with the UNIDEN UNNBC365CRS. Its robust features, reliable performance, and seamless integration into my workflow make it an indispensable tool for both my personal and professional endeavors. If you're looking for a scanner that delivers unparalleled performance and keeps you connected to the world around you, look no further than the UNIDEN UNNBC365CRS.

    DHLでの事故なのか、国内配送の事故なのか判りませんが、不適切な梱包・緩衝材のせいで箱潰れ・衝撃ありでの到着となりましたが、
    出品者曰く、「【新品未使用品】新品未開封品です。輸送中に外箱にダメージがある場合がございますが、本体使用には問題ございません。」
    とのテンプレート・メールの回答で、外箱にどれだけのダメージが受けようと、関係ないとの事です。
    ご購入をご検討中の方は、マーケットプレイス出品者の対応に十分ご注意ください！

    製品自体は、Uniden　BC365CRSになります。
    最近の日本メーカーでは、安価なWatch用のベースステーションがありませんので、下記のような使用法をされる方には
    有用ではないか？と思います。

    プリセットされている周波数は、米国仕様、日本のFM放送(ワイドFMを含む)・全帯域のHFの受信が出来ない等
    の仕様はありますが、アマチュア無線AM･FM変調に限りますがの25-50/144/430Mhzの呼び出し周波数、
    航空無線のWatch用としては、お勧めします。
    付属品として、ACアダプタ、BNC ロッドアンテナ同梱されていますが、遠距離局、航空無線の地上局も狙うのであれば、
    やはり、良いアンテナ、同軸ケーブル、フィルター、アンプなどを使われることをお勧めしますが、
    受信感度としては、十分高感度だと思います！
    おまけに、乾電池を使用して屋外でも使用できます！

    残念な点としては、周波数の入力がテンキー入力のみで、ボリュームの様なアナログ可変が出来ません。
    それでも、国産の広帯域受信機や、アマチュア用ハンディー機と違い本体スピーカーでも音割れせずに十分な明瞭度でWatchできるので、文句はありませんよ！

    疑問は、なんでUnidenさんが国内でこれを販売してくれないのか？ということですね・・・
    こんな、レビューですが、お役に立てれば幸いです。

    Arrived within the expected timeframe, item was exactly as described. Works perfectly, as it should. Has been running non-stop for 2 months now, and it does exactly what I want it to do. Knowing how to use it helps; those who have no scanner experience should either read the manual, or if they can't read, consult a friend who has experience. Or, go ahead and buy it, then return it because you don't understand it, and someone will get a great deal on a "used" one :)

    The scanner actually works well. The instructions for set up are very complicated
    There is too much unnecessary info. I had to Google the set up to get it programmed.
