I own several Uniden Bearcat scanners and by far this is the best. I like the fact since it is software driven, we have more control on its operation. The size is smaller than my last two handhelds. There is a learning curve, but it is not bad. The Sentinel software is not self-explanatory so it has taken a bit to figure it out and how to get what you want on the scanner. There are some good videos which help.
I have a couple of base antennas, one on the roof and one on a pushup which helps with signal strength when I am in the room where the coax is located. I am going to try the REM-842S SMA REMTRONIX PORTABLE TRIBAND ANTENNA which I am told will help reception when out and about. I did purchase the magnetic mount antenna for use in the car as well as in the house.
I will be purchasing another power/data cable as I find it beneficial to have more than one. I will also purchase another SMA To BNC Adapter for SDS100 as I have more than one place where I will need that item.
I have not gotten to try out the GPS I purchased with the scanner except to make sure it works. I have not gotten to use it in travel as yet but since I know it works. I’m sure it will work as intended in travel.
This biggest disappointment is the belt clip. When in the normal position, it is lock and fine, but the scanner can be turned way to easy and if the scanner is upside down, it will fall off the belt clip which could damage the scanner, or even worse. Loosing it all together. The belt clip needs redesign to fix this issue. There should be some sort of locking mechanism in order to release the scanner from the belt clip.
Still trying everything out and will update my review if allowed in the future to let everyone know if run across any issues or more positive items I discover.
Great Scanner
