I bought this not long after it was released a good few years ago, at a cost of £149 - some places are STILL selling it for £200! Standing on the top of Otley Chevin in Yorkshire I can sometimes pick up planes approaching Heathrow. It's a great scanner, especially when you are near an airport.

This is a Uniden BR330T just without the lockouts. True continuous coverage :3

[@scaleop4]

yes you're right it's not a basic scanner, but it's expensive.
but still a nice scanner.

@fighterNut66 sounds good, just bought this scanner, really enjoying it! :-)

All uniden radios are what you call a bit deaf.. i used to use uniden in the old CB radio days and they was very good for nor getting bleedover from local strong stations . This is because they have the recieve set to being weak.. an old radio shack or realistic scanner blows these uniden radios out the water.. oh and uniden is pronounced you-nee-den

Freq: 25 - 1300 MHz ?? why dont you mention all the massive gaps mate ? also, no dual watch, no 1khz step, no ssb etc, these uniden scanners are not very good, the ONLY good point is close call.
