Review on Enhanced PRO-164 Radio Scanner by RadioShack by Olusola Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent battery life and reception!

I bought this scanner for my aunt and uncle out of gratitude for letting us stay with them. He had a good reception and worked very well for them. They listen to NHP, sheriffs and fire departments. The trunking feature works well and allows you to trace conversations on a trunked radio system. However, programming is not easy. The trunking system must be programmed at the beginning of each bank, starting at 0 for the first bank. This confused me at first as I was used to memory 1 from the first bank. Either way, it works great and is easier to program on a computer. That's the only reason it's 4/5.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Long time
