Overview
Not a plain clock radio, this tabletop unit is a conventional channel scanner with an alarm clock built in. You store frequencies for police, fire, marine and air bands in memory banks, and wake to the radio with snooze.
One housing handles scanning, music and storm warnings. It is non-digital only, so check what your local agencies use first.
Who it's for
Casual listeners who want local channels beside the bed. Digital system followers and portable users should choose another scanner.
Pros and cons
- Scanner, clock radio and weather alerts in one
- Banks organize stored channels
- Non-digital channels only
- Batteries required alongside corded power
- App control entry looks wrong
Performance notes
The scanner steps through stored channels in its banks and stops when it finds activity. Interference can be reduced by moving the unit or its antenna away from electrical noise, per the description. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
