What i Want in a Mobile Scanner

[313RADIO]

I am trying to find a scanner that will fit into the DIN space where my stock radio was.
I would like this scanner to recieve 140 and 440 ham, 450-470 and FM broadcast bands
Any one know of a radio like this that will mount nice and recieve FM bands

BCT15, BCD996Tare both DIN-E and DIN-ISO compatible and have FM-B demodulation needed for broadcast FM. BCD996T includes the DIN-E sleeve; BCT15 sleeve is an extra accessory, but both will screw directly into an ISO chassis.

very very very very nice....
seriously though it cost 1/2 as much as the car i would put it in
you guys know of any older stuff? digital and trunking are no big deal to me

Sound's like a PRO-2054 would work for you. It comes with an In-dash mount sleeve, DC power cable, etc.

Link here: PRO-2054

I've purchased a couple that were used, but in near-mint condition for $65-$75.

You could always get an FM Radio for that!

My kenwood cd player / radio was stolen ...
I want to get rid of my hand held and get a dash unit that can also get FM and mabey AM radio

I thought that I would point out the the links supplied by ImTheWeasel above are for a Uniden radio being sold by Uniden's top competitor, hence the price quoted is nowhere near being reasonable. That same radio goes for considerably less at CEI and ScannerMaster.

Kenwood RZ1

I believe the Kenwood RZ1 may be exactly what you are seeking.

You could probably find one for around $200.00. It fits in your dash, replacing your car radio, but works as an AM/FM car radio in addition to a scanner. It even has a video out for TV reception. Also: covers 500 kHz - 905 MHz, AM/FM/FM-W, 100 alpha memories.

It even looks like a car radio.


I don't see a CD player in the specs...sorry. :lol:

Honestly, If you still want to listen to AM, FM, and CDs, just get a normal radio with CD player for your dash and then get a regular mobile scanner. Since it sounds like you dont have the greatest car in the world, you probably dont care about making a couple screw holes to mount a mobile unit. That being said, you may want to check out ebay, there are thousands of scanners for sale on ebay and you can get some pretty good deals. Another place to check out might be some pawn shops. Since you dont need digital or trunking, you should be able to get a decent scanner for well under $100, if you dont want 800-900 mhz, you might even be able to find one for $50 or less. I know you can get a halfway decent radio with CD player for under $100, so it would probably even be cheaper to do it this way, and you would still have a CD player.
