| Order the scanner alone, or build your own package with discounted accessories for additional savings and HomeTown Programming to have the scanner professionally programmed so it's ready to use right out of the box. If you choose Hometown Programming we will program the county where the scanner is being shipped unless you otherwise note in the Comments section on the Checkout Page. If you choose to have more than one county programmed, you must list each one or we will choose for you.
The Bearcat 898T is an outstanding base radio, actually the only scanner sold today that is truly base station size. The one feature it lacks is an alpha-numeric display, but with software you can see the corresponding alpha tag to a frequency or talkgroup on your PC (see ARC898). The lack of alpha is more than made up by the great price of the radio, $216.95. The jump to an alpha Uniden scanner is quite a step up at $529.95.
The radio is big and looks and feels like a true communications-grade receiver, such as an ICOM costing thousands. It has a great, easy-to-use, tuning knob that's wonderful to use to tune around looking for activity (or for tuning channels). We can't recommend this radio enough.
