The price of police scanners are insane but this little kit is not only affordable it packs a lot of great features into a small package. You can program any freq into the scanner or you can scan for active channels. We love having it so that we can keep up with what is going on in our small town. The best part about this scanner is it is portable. You can set it up at home or take with you in your car. It comes with all the hardware you need to permanently mount inside your car along with a roof top antenna. This scanner gives you crisp clear channels and all the functionality of those nice fancy big name scanners. Rather it is police, weather or marine or even air you are looking to monitor this scanner kit has you covered. I recommend you get the bundle which includes the speaker because it saves you even more. I have been a customer of FactoryOutletstores for years and they have a customer for life! All their products are amazing and should you ever have an issue with any product their customer service will move mountains to fix any issue you may have! I would give them 4 thumbs up if I had two extra hands but I will have to settle for two thumbs up for now!
