I give rave reviews for this scanner but SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE REFURBISHED MODEL. SO as I see it I spent $45 to $70 dollars more than if I bought the REFURBISHED unit as I have to program my "pre-programed" anyway. So I paid $45.00 more for this item and if I can't figure out how to program it myself I will have to spend at least $25.00 to have it programed. It is a great unit sharp looking appears to be well built. Just bought this scanner paid $174.00 for it because it was "pre-programed" thinking it would be race ready, over the refurbished unit of $129.00 which clearly advises it is not "pre-programed". The programing in this item is OUT OF DATE it still has Dale Jarret racing in the #88 car and he has been retired at least two years. I should have just bit the bullet and bought it at the track as it would have been "race-ready".
HOW SWEET IS THAT. At the track, you find the "RE" trailer (multiple trailers @ some tracks). A little complicated @ first, but you enter a car# or deginated radio or TV broadcast. Go to Racing Electronics web-site & sign-up for "at-the-track" programming ($15.00 yr). I would add a small battery amplifier for (2) or more HEADSETS connected to a single scanner. They fully program update yourscanner in a matter of a few minutes ALL YEAR LONG if you so desired for$15.00.
ADD a good HEADSET, you're set. Don't bother self programming the SC230 scanner or out of date programming. They send you a sticker for the currentyear, you apply it to the scanner. THIS SCANNER is GREAT.
Nice scanner but all the information on the scanner was out dated and need up dating which took sbout 4 - 6 hours
Plan on paying $40-60 more for it is you wait to get one at the track. If your a NASCAR fan, this is one of the best scanners out there. Easy to use and one really nice feature is it displays drivers name and car number.
Very good top of the line scanner husaband will ove his races more plus scanns for fire police and weather All kinds of extras. Great price and too Kept him busy for a while Ha Ha
