Overview
Uniden builds this scanner around software defined radio, which processes signals digitally to cope with weak signals and simulcast systems. A digital display, GPS and Bluetooth sit in a body that comes with a charging cradle and belt clip.
Radio hobbyists and public safety followers get a portable scanner with a rechargeable battery pack and a full accessory kit. Weather alerts add a safety use. Frequency coverage, system capacity and digital modes beyond the listing are not stated.
Who it's for
A scanner enthusiast, storm watcher or event follower who carries a handheld on the move. The belt clip and hand strap suit field use. Beginners with no interest in programming systems, and professionals needing spec sheets, should check manuals first.

Performance notes
Software defined radio converts the received signal to digital early, which helps separate weak stations from interference and decode simulcast systems. Antenna choice and location govern range more than any setting. The built-in GPS can use position to pick local systems automatically.
