Lightweight, and loaded with the frequencies you want!

This compact scanner fits in your palm and has an orange

backlit display and keypad for easy use at night. Store up

to 200 frequencies into memory. Scanner enthusiasts will

appreciate the Signal Stalker feature that instantly “locks

on” to radio being used in your immediate area—no need

to scan! The built-in NOAA receiver keeps you informed of

current weather conditions. Plus, just press the Skywarn

button and you can hear in-the-field reports from storm

spotters in your area—hear storm reports before they’re

broadcast (requires 1-time programming).
