BearTracker 885

Missed this before.
A Uniden 885 is my go-to default choice as big truck radio. Shown below with my 880 (enlarge for panel differences).
The rear is also different (more connections) plus it’s significantly heavier.
I may be wrong, but I’ve tended to think the RX is more sensitive (an alignment to each might eliminate this).
I tend to use it with CB-19 plus the simultaneous public service band operation. Other reviews you’ve seen have stated correctly it’s not hard to distinguish each from each.
I don’t have other mobile scanner experience with which to compare it.
If there are those who denigrate scanner performance or AM lacking SSB, there’s a limit on what one can do.
I’d welcome “more”, but this is an easy fit into a company truck.
Several times I’ve avoided problems or reduced stress with Police or Fire TX. Answered the questions of others on 19.
Loves chain of truck stops carries them at some locations.
