There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Using the manual, it took me a couple of hours to figure out how it works and not much longer to punch in my frequencies. I didn't by the software so I've gone the laborious route. Once mastered, it's easy to use.
It picks up everything I've been picking up with the Grecom and doesn't seem to have any reception problems. I tested it against the Grecom on a sub-squelch transmission (an airport ATIS channel) and the Bearcat seems to pull in a bit more background noise than the Grecom but it's nothing major.
The supplied antenna is actually quite good - although the above-mentioned ATIS transmission was barely audible, it does very well on above-squelch signals and I've been happily pulling in aircraft up to 80 miles away (if the reporting points are anything to go by). It is not as good as my MRW100 antenna but you won't be slapping your forehead in frustration as you might with most manufacturer-supplied rubber ducks.
I've not used close call because i live in the sticks and am trying for distant signals. One plus is that unlike the Grecom (which has a glitch), I can pick up PMR446 transmissions. You have to press the function button then the rotary knob to access the squelch but I count it as a good thing - it means that I can't knock it too high by fumbling.
Unless I've not found it yet, the Bearcat seems to lack an attenuation function, which the Grecom has. Airband freq 133.8 tends to need attenuating where I live or I have to lock it out so attenuation would be a handy feature.
It ate the supplied alkaline batteries but does better with NiMH rechargeables (2500ma) so it's best to carry spares if you're going to be out with it for a while. I used a trickle or fast charger rather than charging them in the scanner.
But in summary, I'm very pleased with the Bearcat, which is a great out-and-about scanner that works very well out of the box with the supplied rubber duck and I heartily recommend it.
Main thought is that it’s a great all-rounder, it does most things that you need for casual scanning very well, with a decent tech spec. Build quality feels as good as you could expect at this price.
Scanning is fast and sensitive. Inbuilt speaker is clear and impressive for its size. Headphone output is just a little quiet – I guess its safety limited to protect hearing like all audio devices these days – though it works well enough.
Supplied rubber duckie antenna is OK for close up stuff, like they all are, but there are loads of aftermarket antenna with BNC connectors to choose from if you need something longer to pull in weaker signals.
Display is big and clear, with a decent backlight and the alpha-tagging is very useful indeed.
Battery life seems OK at around 5 to 6 hours, although I haven’t had it long enough to cycle the supplied batteries very often or try others – the inbuilt charging is slow (as you would expect to keep heat down) and charges to a pre-determined time cycle of 14 hours – definitely worth investing in an external battery charger if you use it a lot.
The multi-function “scroll control” switch which adjusts Channel / Volume / Squelch / other functions does seems a little bit odd and complicated at first and I would prefer a dedicated volume control, but you quickly get used to it and it does allow for a compact sized scanner I guess.
The ability to very quickly and easily lock out or include stored frequencies when scanning is good and is particularly useful for airband scanning. I really like the ability of this scanner to do temporary or permanent lockouts with a single button press.
So this far I really like it – I have owned more technical scanners in the past, but this one has everything you need for most purposes in a compact size and a decent price.

Es muy rápido.
No es tan complicado de manejar, yo desde 0 lo entendí rápido.
Puedes escanear un amplio rango de frecuencias, están dividas bloques. Esos bloques los puedes acultar solo pulsando los números relacionados con los bloques y volver a mostrarlos pulsando otra vez el número.
Así escaneas solo las frecuencias que te interesan.
Una vez que escuchas una frecuencia de tu interés y la quieres almacenar es muy sencillo .
Todas las frecuencias guardadas se almacenan en varios bloques y puedes escanear luego ese almacenamiento de frecuencia guardadas y escucharlas . Silenciar las que no te interesen, fijar una para no escuchar las demás ect.
El sonido es muy bueno
Las baterías puedes cambiarlas por otras de mayor capacidad o poner pilas.
Puedes conectar auriculares.
Tiene todo lo que tiene que tener un scaner portátil analógico.
La antena no es mala... pero si quieres sacar el máximo partido al scaner necesitas una antena base , yo tengo una bibanda x30 cuando estoy en casa . Cuando salgo con el scaner utilizo la de origen y otra telescópica.
Si sales por la montaña puedes escanear rápidamente las frecuencias activas y con un walkie talkie comunicarte.
Es entretenido y un pasatiempos.
Tenía dudas en si comprar el escaner portátil o de base... me gusta salir y viajar . Ha sido la mejor elección para mi.
Bien producto y de calidad. Recomendado.
La entrega en 24 horas así que a sido todo perfecto.
