 still love bc246t after 2 years of daily useDec 10, 2009
Being a long time scanner enthusiast, but not an expert by any means, I purchased the BC 246T scanner in November of 2007 (over 2 years ago). At that time I was a bit hesitant to jump to a trunk tracker scanner, since I've always used a conventional scanner. It took a bit of time and RTFM and interet research, to figure out the different types of trunking systems out there (Motorola Types I II and III.EDACS,LTR,I-Call).
I absolutely love the scanner even after 2 years of constant use. I take it with me in my car for use while driving to and from work, and on weekends while out and about, and bring it in the house at night to keep on my nightstand, plugged into the charger.
I would hightly recommened buying the software and programming the scanner with your pc as, programming with the scanner itself is a bit difficult. Once programmed you can go in and add, change, delete channels that fit your need.
The 2 AA rechargable batteries in the scanner are the original ones that came with the scanner, although after over 700 days of frequent daily use, they don't hold a chage as long as they once did and I may have to break down and buy 2 more. :) The car charger is also a must IMHO, although you can always keep 2 regular AA batteries in the glove compartment and they'll work perfectly for days.
If you're on the fence about purchasing the BC146T, buy it. You won't be sorry.

UNIDEN BC- 246TOct 11, 2009
I am sure that this is a great scanner, but the manual is difficult to use and the results that I have gotten so far is by trial and error. I purchased the software immediately so that I could program it from my computer but the cable that was provided does not match up with the computer. I ordered the USB cable a month ago and still have not received it. So the software is useless to me at this time.

 Product is good, but I have a BIG problem.Sep 24, 2009
The product is great, but let me tell you something. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SUPPLIER. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE NEW AND THEY DO NOT TELL YOU UNTIL AFTER THE ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED. I had ordered this product less than 5 days ago, I got an email from customer support stating that they DO NOT have this product NEW. I kept reading and they had sent me some other sanner AUTOMATICALLY. They picked out another scanner, SHIPPED THE ITEM, and sent me an emailing saying that the item has shipped, but wait, it was some other scanner! DO NOT ORDER THIS ITEM FROM APEX SUPPLIERS. THEY DO NOT HAVE IT NEW.
WHO DOES BUSINESS LIKE THIS? THE CUSTOMER ORDERS AN ITEM, THEY SEND YOU AN EMAIL SAYING IT IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE, THEY SEND YOU SOME OTHER SCANNER, SHIP IT, AND THEN TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING ON.
DO NOT ORDER THIS ITEM FROM APEX SUPPLIERS.
excellent scannerSep 08, 2009
I do not recommend this hand held scanner to anyone who isn't skilled at programming with the use of a computer. This is a very complicated scanner using cutting edge technology. It's performence is awsome. Really a good scanner.It uses filing systems that are different than your run of the mill scanners. It definately has a learning curve with regards to programming is concerned.
Good Scanner except turns off?Jul 03, 2009
I like the scanner. But it keeps turning off maybe in one hour or less. So I have to turn off and back on.
