Comparing the Top Police Scanners of 2023 1. Best overall: Uniden BCD536HP HomePatrol Series Base/Mobile ScannerWhen choosing the best police scanner, it’s worth considering what features you want in your device and your budget range.

Programming conventional analog frequencies was fairly easy. But trying to set up a digital trunked system was more difficult than I thought. I think mostly this is because the instruction manual is not very clearly written or logically organized. Watching YouTube videos did little to help. After several hours, and much trial and error, things finally started making sense and I finally did figure it out. But because of how slow and tedious it is to navigate the menus and enter alpha tags etc, it would take me weeks, if not months to manually program everything I want to listen to. Some vehicles can take advantage of another approach to mounting a radio in a vehicle, called the ISO technique. However, this technique requires a very detailed and thorough knowledge of the technique. Therefore, we strongly suggest that if you have any doubt about your experience and abilities, please consult with a professional installer who is familiar with the ISO approach to radio installation.
