User questions & answers

Question:	What about the GPS function? Is it installed in the radio or is that an additional charge? Also, can you attach a remote antenna to this receiver
Answer:	Hi, thanks for your question! That is correct! Hope it helps. Thanks, Sandee from TIGERSECU, Inc.
Question:	Does it have a plug-in for Bose headphones
Answer:	It shouldn’t be rebooting. Based on how many cameras you have and what resolution your recording at determines how many days your records stay on the drive. My setup consists of 16 cameras running at 1080 and recording at 1080 so I only have three days of recordings before the drive start to recycle them.

User questions & answers

Question:	What batteries can I purchase that will recharge in this unit

Question:	Funciona para comunicacion en 2 vias
Answer:	This model comes with a USB cable that can be used in conjunction with any 5 volt power adapter-- both wall and vehicle-- and most people find that their phone/tablet charger works well. Please note that while the batteries are charging within the unit the scanner cannot be powered on so I would recommend using an external charger for your rechargeable batteries.
Question:	Is this scanner analog or digital
Answer:	Yes, there is a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) miniplug for earphone or stereo headphones on the top of the scanner.
Question:	my local police have gone digital will this work
Answer:	Yes, most if not all passenger and freight operations in the USA and Canada operate around 160 mhz so you can absolutely program the scanner and listen in. The EOT (End of Train) devices, broadcast over the 400 mhz range which you should be able to hear also.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone believe this scanner is easier to use than the Whistler
Answer:	The GPS receiver is installed but you need the plugin GPS antenna that must be purchased separate. (about $100.00)Any antenna can be used with the proper adapter. If you are using a outside antenna you just need to know what type of connector is on the end of the cable coming from the antenna and purchase the proper adapter. The stock antenna is SMA, but it comes with a SMA to BNC adapter. Adapters range in price from 5 - 10 dollars.
Question:	Can I use an external battery such as used to recharge a iphone to power this? This is to be used at nascar race. Connected by usb

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with 900 mhz
Answer:	Hey Drakkenfyre barring any manufacturing anomalies the UV-5R accessories, including batteries and the BL-5L, should be compatible with the 5x3. Essentially they are the same radio outside, just different electronics/firmware inside. If you are unlucky to get one of the bad batteries visit the Miklor.com web site for all information about the radio, and this http://kj4ajp.mambm.com/BL5L/ for repairing the battery to make it fit. Hope this helps.
Question:	We cannot pick anything up. All static. Occasionally fire department. What's the problem
Answer:	This radio uses all the battery options and accessories that fit the UV-5R or the BF-F8HP. So yes. You can use both the AAA and the AA battery eliminators as well as the extended batteries.Hope this helps.
Question:	Can I pick up police frequencies with this? I live in a high crime and would like to listen in to the chatter for pure entertainment purposes
Answer:	All radio transmitters and some other emitters must have FCC certification. Commercial and public service require Part 90 certification. Other services like FRS and GMRS fall under other parts of the rules. As part of the certification process the FCC issues an FCC ID number for each design of transmitter. I have used the FCC ID to determine the frequency range and modulation type of radios before by doing a Google search of the number. There is also a search page on the FCC site. The only radio service exempt from these regulations is Amateur Radio. Ham radio operators are directly responsible for their emissions and have demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the rules and electronics by passing an exam. Most of the Chinese radios are therefore marketed to Ham radio operators since most do not have any FCC certification. They are also not legal to use on commercial, FRS and GMRS frequencies unless they have the FCC certification number or a sticker with the numbers on them. The UV-5X3 is a perfect example. The sticker under the battery affixed to the radio calls it an Amateur radio and there is no reference to FCC certification or ID. There are some of the UV-5R radios that have a part 90 certification sticker on them but they are mostly the older models like the UV-5RV2+. If programmed correctly so the end user can not operate the radio on frequencies they are not authorized to use they can be used for commercial and public service. They are not certified and are not legal to use for FRS and GMRS even with the part 90 certification.
Question:	DO YOU NEED AN OUTSIDE ANTENA
Answer:	We have a 100watt repeater (before 2013) for local / regional and achieve 200 miles every day, and a few long haul repeaters that are 1.5KW to backhaul between other repeaters and their base stations. We could use VoIP between repeaters, we are just blessed to have a mountaintop that we use, and just expanded as another liscense holder gave up their space, so we have another relay tower. For security I won't say where, but you likely have used it without knowing. So listen to everyone here and join your regional and national clubs. They fund 30-40-% of our operations.

User questions & answers

Question:	do you have to use a computer? My husband wants a scanner to hear local fire, police,etc reports. Will this one do it
Answer:	The SDS200 unit had better digital reception, more features and better circuitry than that older discontinued model you mention. The SDS200 can also receive Phase 2 digital systems, which the 197 can't do, and with optional firmware update the SDS200 can monitor DMR and ProVoice Digital, which the 197 can't do.
Question:	What are the exact dimensions of this unit? I would like to mount this in my semi truck on my rack with my CB radios that are approximately 7 3/4" w
Answer:	If that is 14218 kilohertz, the answer is no. If the frequency is 142.180 megahertz the answer is yes.
Question:	Is this radio battery operated or can you plug into electricity
Answer:	Yes, a telescoping antenna comes included.
Question:	My metro area uses p25 phase ii for all trunked emergency dispatch. will this scanner be of any use or do i need a different unit

User questions & answers

Question:	I know nothing about scanners in general. Is this a good scanner for beginners, and does it come with everything needed to set up and listen
Answer:	In short, it is a good basic starter scanner. It will get you all analog transmissions from 27Mhz all the way up to 800Mhz.For a beginner scanner though, it can be a little tough to program manually. I learned through google searches and youtube videos. But if you want to just figure out what is going on around you, the scanner is preset to scanner different frequency stretches with the push of a button. So you can tell it to search just the standard police/fire/ems frequencies, or just the aircraft frequencies instead of manually programming.Oh, and yes this comes with enough accessories to permanently (wiring harness) or temporarily (cig lighter) set up in your car/truck or in your home as a base scanner (wall plug).Hope that helps..
Question:	What is the difference between the Uniden Scanner model number BC355N and the Uniden Scanner with model number BC355C
Answer:	The 335N is just an updated model. The BC355C is no longer in production by Uniden instead the newer BC355N is the current production model. Both scanners are essentially the same aside from very minor technical specifications, just one is currently in production and the other isn't.
Question:	what type of external antenna connector does it take I want to use it in my RV and I have a car type push in plug does that work
Answer:	This is a helpful tool, now in most area police use a different type of radio. They use a p25 phase 2 to help prevent people from hearing them. The scanner for that kinda of radio comes at a high price! I work in EMS, I use this radio when I’m not working to try to avoid any road that has a MVA. I also go to calls sometimes if man power is requested
Question:	does the scanner recieve annalog or digital transmissions
Answer:	Perhaps the a new model was released under the same part number, because there are many answer from 2013 stating this is not a digital scanner and that this is not a trunking scanner, but today in 2017 it clearly is. The description lists P25 Phase I and II as well as X-TDMA. P25 is the digital radio standard for public safety. X-TDMA is the digital standard for multimedia data over radio. There is also a lengthy list of trunking technologies that are supported by this model. Amazon should clean up and delete the old misleading answers as they no longer apply.
