Amazon.com Product Description: The Uniden Clock Radio Scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner with all hazards alert. The scanner allows you to store and then scan up to 300 channels distributed over 10 banks. It also alerts you when NOAA or any broadcast station the scanner is tuned to issues an EAS (Emergency Alert System). Other features include a service search and weather scan, listening to TV on the radio (channels 2-13), and an alarm clock with snooze function. In addition to your favorite broadcast channels, this clock radio keeps you in tune with public safety, police and fire departments, NOAA weather reports, and more.
With channel memory, this unit scans frequencies at a rate of up to 70 channels per second to help you find the channel you're looking for. If you know exactly what you want, direct channel access let's you quickly dial in to your favorite channel. For faster scanning, you can even use a channel/frequency lockout function to skip over stored frequencies.
This clock radio scanner has all the functions of regular radio/alarm clock. The scanner, in standby mode, displays the time. The alarm clock can sound up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silent the alarm for an extra five minutes.
You can listen to AM/FM and TV channels 2-13 or use them as your snooze alarm in the morning. You can store up to 30 broadcast channels (10 AM and 20 FM/TV) for quick and easy access. Ten frequencies can be set as priority channels which the clock radio scans and checks every two seconds.
The Clock Radio Scanner's LCD lighted display can be enabled or disabled. A key touch-tone sounds to confirm you've made a valid key input while another tone alerts you of an invalid entry. The scanner requires AA batteries and will let you know when batteries are low and when they need to be replaced. This unit comes with the manufacturer's 1-year limited warranty.

Good bedside scanner As someone who owns a couple of vintage ELECTRA Bearcat scanners (The ones made in US, not China as they are today) I was looking for a scanner that was also a clock radio. As a scanner, it does everything it should for analog scanning and has SAME weather alert which works well. I would not recommend this radio for long term AM/FM listening as the sound is a little tinny.(On the other side of my bed, I have a GE Superadio for that) I love laying in bed on Friday nights and listening to the cops nail the drunks for DWI in my area !
Disappointing Product Problems with this scanner include a squelch that affects the AM band, an alarm display that cannot be viewed while lying in bed, and an instruction manual that has ommissions,is confusing and very frustrating to use. With the display softkeys being redefined constantly one loses track of modes and band limits, etc., and with a manual written so poorly, it makes the whole operating experience a total disaster. On the plus side the receiver is quite sensitive. The unit has a good appearance and feel of the controls is good. It would also be nice if the AC supply was contained within the unit. I expected more from a top of the line product and a manufacturer with a reasonably good reputation.
Uniden 300-Channel Scanner The Uniden 300 does what it claims and does it well. I can receive police, fire, marine, ham radio, am, fm, tv, weather and even pick up local cordless phone conversations. The controls are easy to use and the unit is fairly easy to set up. I wish it came with a beefier antenna but I'm able to get nearly 300 miles of reception of ham radio so its not bad straight out of the box. The frequency scanner works efficiently and smoothly zeros in on any live broadcasting in whatever band you are in. The emergency notification is awesome, never thought I would need it in San Diego, but sure enough it popped up one evening when a storm cell blew into the area causing flooding. Nice! The radio controlled clock feature automatically re-set itself when day- light savings time came around too. As a bed side companion it does the job and more! My only complaint, which is very minor, is the clock/ frequency display is at an angle not convienient for viewing without lifting my head from my pillow. Reckon if that's the only negative then I'm 99.5% satisfied with my purchase. Kudos to Uniden & Amazon for hooking me up with the Uniden 300.
Awesome Scanner This is one of the best scanners I have ever purchased. Great quality and awesome reception. I purchased two of these. One for my residence and one for the Firehouse, and no one has anything bad to say. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Excellent And Compact Scanner / Emergency Weather Radio There are many excellent reviews for this unit which is why I bought it. I have to say that it is everything they said it was. Compact, high quality, and easy to use. One unique feature is it automatically turns on when there is an emergency weather alert in your area. When they test the system it will turn on and make a strange beeping noise which can be startling at times but when the test if over it turns itself off. I also like the fact that it also has batteries so you can hear emergency channels even if the power goes off.
