Review of the Uniden 100-CHANNEL Scanner with Nascar Racing Headset

by greywolf

I have a friend who is in the market for a racing radio. Sounds simple right?

…just send them down to the local store and buy one. Well, it’s not that easy. There are so many to choose from and if you don’t know what you are doing you could end up buying something that really doesn’t do the job. So I decided to take it upon myself to do the research for him to find the best racing radio on the market today and eventually came up with the Uniden 100-CHANNEL Scanner with Nascar Racing Headset.What To Look For When Buying a racing radio It didn’t take my long to realize that there are a few important things to keep in mind when buying a racing radio. These are:

How many channels and banks does the radio have
Does it auto capture
is it programmable

If you just buy the first racing radio you see based on price alone then you are destined for trouble particularly if you are going to be using it on a regular basis. So stick with me here as I will be explaining each of these in relation to the Uniden 100-CHANNEL Scanner with Nascar Racing Headset

CloseCall RF capture technology allows the scanner to detect nearby radio frequencies so no more trying to tune in your favorite drivers frequency

I’ve had no problem at all with the reception or clarity and the volume is good as well. I love the portability of this unit;

I bought this item for my Dad for father’s day since he goes to the races as an annual event. He usually rents one of these which is very costly and this saves lots of $ $ $ $ . He said it worked great and loved it

The scanner was sent on time, it works wonderful and was not damaged what so ever. Great product!

Any complaints?

I found very few complaints for this on consumer sites around the internet. One consumer did suggest I love the portability of this unit; I only wish the batteries lasted a bit longer, but…oh well. I use the rechargeable batteries and they last about 12-15 hours of constant use.
