Excellent scannerNovember 11, 2008 All functions as advertised. A very powerful scanner with just about everything you need in today's RF world.
Line-Out problem makes it totally useless for meJuly 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I should've paid closer attention to William "Macintosh Gamer's" negative comment about the BC898T's Line-Out feature, in that it clips off the first couple of seconds of each & every transmission that's received!! Also as he mentions, that "pop" becomes quite annoying.
I purhcased this scanner solely for the purpose of providing an Internet feed from it. But I'm unable to use this scanner for this purpose now, so it's going back for an exchange.
I read R. Mason's comment about this (and other) problems having been rectified now with serial numbers beginning with 6 (and above I assume), which indicates that those scanners were manufactured in 2006.
What puzzles me is, R. Mason mentioned that his model was from 2004, and has since rectified the problem by exchanging it with a new one manufactured in 2006. Well, here we are in 2008, and my brand new scanner that I received from Amazon yesterday has a serial number beginning with 3. Does that mean that it was manufactured in 2003 ... 5 years ago??? A distinct possibility, as this scanner is plagued with the same problems mentioned by William. The firmware in my unit, incidentally, is U1.29
Amazon's return/exchange policy is fantastic, and I thank them for that. However, I'm going to lose close to $100 in shipping & duty charges to & from here (Bermuda), but I have no choice as this model of scanner is totally & 100% useless to me. I just hope that the BCT15 that I want to exchange this for doesn't have the same problem.
Other than that, it's a pretty decent unit. Just don't plan on placing it above eye-level, because the LCD's contrast is such that you won't be able to read the display. At eye-level and even 45 above it's very readable, though.
I've only programmed in 10 frquencies of the VHF and UHF Aircraft bands into 1 memory bank, so I haven't tried anything else & can't comment on them.
Great Product! Shipped on time!January 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We ordered this Scanner at the last minute not sure if it would arrive in time for Christmas, but arrived ahead of schedule. Great product. Easy to program.
Great performing scannerDecember 5, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As an Amateur Radio Operator, I own and have owned many scanners. This is one of my keepers. It outperforms almost all of my other radios. It does not have all the features of radios costing more, such as text tagging and digital capabilities, but what it can do, it does very well. At its current sub-$175 price, it's a bargain. This radio has been out for awhile now, and a firmware update has corrected the issues that the radio originally had with DCS/CTCSS decoding.

Out of the box the scanner was broken, it would not scan. I will be looking for another company that makes scanners.
