Base/Mobile police scanners comprise both Desktop Scanners, which are used at your home or office as they are large and operate on AC power only; and, Base/Mobile Scanners, which can be used at either at a fixed location or in a car or truck as they are smaller and run on both AC and DC power. The Uniden BC345CRS, the Whistler WS1025 and the RadioShack PRO-650 are all desktop scanners. All other Uniden-Bearcat, Whistler and RadioShack scanner models below are base/mobile designs that can be used and mounted at home or in a car or truck as all operate at 12 volts and most are supplied with both AC adapters for home use and mobile power cords for vehicular use. The pre-programmed Uniden HomePatrol I and II are hybrids that can be used as a base/mobile or a portable scanner. HomePatrols are also the easiest radios to use and are the best bet for someone who just wants to turn their scanner on, enter a zip code region one time to auto load frequencies, and start scanning away. The HomePatrols can operate under GPS control for an amazing mobile scanning experience (optional GPS receiver required). These radios run the gamut from the basic "analog" models to the most expensive digital scanners which are needed in many areas of the country where the police and fire services are using the latest digital two-way radios for communications. To learn which type of scanner radio you need call us at 1-800-SCANNER or e-mail us. We'll be glad to help.
