- o***u (1181)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchasePacked well, shipped promptly and seller was fair in refunding the difference of what I paid versus what I offered. One problem that was not in the description or visible in the photos: one of the tabs on the battery box was broken off. I repaired and it works fine. Would do business again but would ask for more pictures

"Multiple Great Features" To be able to use all features is very challenging Lucky that you can get working with just entering your zip code.
15 of 16 found this helpful I have read the manual multiple times, logged many hours on You-tube how to videos, and I'm still baffled and bewildered how to use some of the features.
The manual starts out explaining certain names and what they mean, but, to only later use abbreviations to make it better and shorter for the writer, only to make it more confusing for the reader to always have to stop and go back to try and remember what the abbreviations stand for. This make a person frustrated trying to take it all in and make it difficult to program it. Always second guessing the proper steps and protocol to program it.
Writing from the computer software to the scanner is not very complete on instructions leaving you to guess if you have done it right or not. Words like "Un-mounting" Then the write options "Erase" or "Force Write" database.
Thankfully it has the feature to just enter in your zip code and in minutes your able to hear agencies in your area, making it feel like you just didn't drop $400.00 on a scanner and not be able to use it.
I've been listening to scanners as a hobby for over 30 years and the technology is getting better, but more difficult for the general public to program it to get all the added features, and to justify the large price tag. I also have the bcd536hp model and it too is just as difficult to program.
I have invested over $1000.00 in 2 scanners and so grateful for the Zip Code quick entry. This was the sole reason I purchased the second model.
