Prior to going to the Dover Nextel Race last weekend, I wanted to take a scanner and headset with me. I have an older Radio Shack scanner, but wanted to take something which was more designed for the race fan. At the last minute, I purchased a Uniden SC230 Racing Scanner from the Racing Electronics brick and morter store in Southern Jersey. I know I could have purchased it for considerably less elsewhere, but I decided all of this on Saturday, with the race being on Sunday.
Anyway, this scanner is awesome for the race fan. Not only does it come pre-programmed for many different racing circuits, you can get free at-the-track updates for the entire 2005 season. The scanner and RT-48 headphones (purchased at the same time) made for a great combination. I was able to quickly scan to whatever car I wanted, listen to MRN or the Fox coverage and anything else I wanted to do with it. This scanner has some nice features and will also work for your standard Police and Fire bands. It does not have trunking capabilities. This unit will run on either 2xAA alkaline or Ni-mH cells. I didn't have the nerve to try the Engergizer E2 lithiums.
If anyone has been looking for a great racing scanner, try out the Uniden SC230.
