replace a old scanner with this one . a good value for the money it have more bell and whistle than I need and find the reception on the FM and AM not too terrific but I do not buy it for that . Uniden put out a quality product with decent manual to program . although I still have a slight problem understand the grouping of priority channel . but undertand , I be technically challenge so do it at all be a accomplishment . do not hesitate to to recommend .
