I have the BC340, the smaller brother to this and love having the AM band. Mine came with the AM loop antenna as well which is often missing. The BC370 is on my want list.
I only noticed after buying the BC365CRS that it does not have AM so I was a bit frustrated me so Iooked in eBay for a model that has an AM band and I found this model a BC345CRS. at least both have 220 - 380 Mhz
I recently scooped a new BC345crs at a London Drugs store because of the military air band feature, although I have not been successful at catching air force planes as of yet but I did pick strange pirated satellite Russian CB style communications, very faint due to narrow FM signal on AM uhf receive 258.350, 262.425, 269.662, 253.862, 255.550 MHZ are a few you could try. I use a home made 8 element log periodic antenna i built for 220 to 450 MHZ still no military planes though. I Might program some Boeing factory test frequencies 150 miles away, also on uhf air.
On rare occasions I can pick up aircraft on VHF up to 180 miles away when those planes are at full altitude. I do, at times hear the Everett Boeing factory radio flight test communications on VHF 123.000 to 123. 500 area, so UHF coverage might also be possible too.
Great video Tom and I am definitely going to try to pick one of these up. BTW, when you were talking about your Amazon Echo dot 2 you actually activated my echo dot 2 when you said Alexa. I'm glad you didn't order a pizza.😂
I rarely see them anymore on ebay they are hard sought after radio scanner I'm lucky to have one myself they just dont make them like they use too.I mean you get the Atomic clock,NIST Satilite sync,seprarate large clock screen,all hazzards alarm,AM radio in whitch the newer model BC365crs does not have any of these features.
@@hamrad88 How do I find out if the local police are digital or analog? Call and ask sounds a little suspisous. I live in a very rual place and it would be good to know what is going on around here.

I wish they'd come out with a digital scanner thats this easy to program
Toms radio room my very first police scanner was a crystals police scanner for my birthday my dad got at radio shack
Have you tried using an Antenna Slitter for your Discone Antennas - so they can be used for Multiple applications?
Yes but it take a number of cable adapters.
Toms radio room what about sdr Defined receiver for lisining to police calls you shold look in to it

@hamrad88 Have you figured out how the little satellite icon and bars work in the top left by clock?
Figured it out its for the NIST Time signal
Thanks
Do a search for Scanning Using SDR lots of Information about using Software Defined Radio.
Bc 355 don't have to program it 🔌 in and play

Typically VHF and UHF stations have be line of sight to receive.

I know that has happened to me when watching video about the Echo.
Has this radio got sideband.
I see it's got ham on it just wondering how it picks it up with no sideband.
I'm new to scanning just wondering.
No. Some hams do not use sideband.
@@hamrad88 thought u needed the clarifier to hear em.
I may be wrong.
If someone knows someone who sales this particular model and ships it internationally tell me please.
Thank you

I have seen them on Ebay sometimes. That is where I got this one.

One on ebay now
My clock only shows when the scanner is off~
Strange. Have tried unplugging it for a hour? Sometimes my squelch stops working and if I leave it unplug for a while is starts working again.

Question, if the local police have switched to digital this unit will not work?
You are correct, it will not track digital.
@@hamrad88 How do I find out if the local police are digital or analog? Call and ask sounds a little suspisous. I live in a very rual place and it would be good to know what is going on around here.
@@markrankin3297 Try RadioReference webpage, they may have your area.
What app do you use to listen to scanners via the internet?
Thank you
