Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

It offers GPS based tracking, a feature that automatically scans for stations based on your GPS location.
What I like about the BCT15X scanner is that it comes with a 100 quick key system and each group provided with a number set to one of the keys and easily pressed to activate or deactivate the group and helps when monitoring systems assigned to them.

What reviewers didn't like

It's an analog scanner, so it can't handle digital signals.
I found no problems while using the Uniden BCT15X although many complained the scanner is ugly and difficult to program.
