Advantages

This little scanner is really rich in advantages:

The action channels you can monitor include weather transmissions, industrial and business radio channels, marine channels and amateur radio bands, scanning as many as 32,000 frequencies.

The Close Call function makes searching easier by tuning to the broadcast of the nearest transmitter.
The memory of the scanner is able to store 200 different channels from 10 banks
It can be programmed either manually or via a PC interface as well.
The scanner comes with 6 pre-programmed banks, leaving plenty of channels for the specific channels you are interested in.
The device provides excellent audio quality and very fast scanning.
The backlit display is very useful in low-light circumstances.

Drawbacks

The positive features really outnumber the negative ones – still, there is one that we need to mention on the downside as well: even though railroad scanning is a passion shared by many users, the scanner does not have any railroad bands preprogrammed, so, for scanning and listening to these channels you have to select one of the 10 unspecified frequencies and store your favorite channel.
