The Bearcat BC125AT Handheld Scanner has a feature called Close Call Technology. The Close Call RF Capture instantly tunes to signals from nearby transmitters and the Close Call Do Not Disturb Mode prevents close call checks during a transmission. This radio is compact and features Weather Alert technology and is capable of attaching to civilian and military air bands.
Great Analog Scanner,
I have a GRE PSR-310 scanner that I like, a lot. However this Bearcat came with a programming cable and free programming software is available from Uniden, Sure it’s missing the 800MHZ band, trunking and stores fewer channels, but for the price this thing can’t be beat, sensitivity is on par with the GRE and volume and sound quality is ALMOST as good, however this Uniden is less than half the size, and much, much lighter, yet feels a tad more solid than the GRE.
I know I’m comparing apples and oranges here, but again, for the price, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better scanner. I slightly prefer GRE’s “Object Oriented Scanning” due to the flexibility it affords frequency setups, but I’ll find myself using this Uniden a lot more because of the form factor and the included programming software/cable.
Now I have to go spend another $60 on a cable and software on the GRE so I can program the thing via my PC.
Uniden, you have spoiled me.
