Recommended Police/Fire Scanners for Snohomish County

Uniden BCT15X
The new Uniden BCT15X may look the same as its similarly named predecessor the BCT15, but inside it's a whole lot different! The new scanner offers more features and doubling the memory! For those who like GPS scanning, a feature no other manufacturer offers, you can now enable and disable not only Systems but Groups as well depending on your location (the optional GPS antenna is required). The radio now offers a band-scope feature, a Fire Tone Out search feature to help you determine the tone out frequencies being used and improved Close Call.

Uniden HomePatrol I
HomePatrol-I also has a color touch screen, another first in the industry. What we particularly love about this radio is its capacity for hierarchical tuning. You can now tell the radio with just a few clicks: I want to monitor all the agencies in County X, or I want to monitor all the agencies in City Y within County X, or I want to monitor the fire department in City Y. You can go further and state that you only want to scan, for example, Police, EMS and utilities within any group of counties. This allows tremendous flexibility in monitoring, and with the beautiful full-color display it's a pleasure to use.
