BT885

[AuntEnvy]

So I just came across this unit while looking for stuff and am quite surprised I haven't seen/heard anything about it. How new is this? I'm thinking it's a rather neat solution to a lot of mobile problems/applications.

Are there any reviews/forums on this unit? Has anyone gotten it yet? I'm guessing there must be people out there who have it. I did a quick search but don't find much on it.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions...? Thanks.

Thanks Dave.

Apparently the key words I typed in to search weren't the right ones. ; )

I knew there was no way an invention like this would go "unnoticed".

It's a good idea, but it would still be illegal in some states technically. The CB side isn't but the scanner function would be.

I do like the idea and I'd like to get one, but I think it could use just a tiny bit of tweaking to it's features. I do need to get some basic questions answered though so those concerns may not actually be an issue. I noticed many of the comments weren't really on par with what the unit is/was designed/marketed for but a couple of basic things seemed overlooked or maybe kinda "rushed out the door".

If the price was a little bit lower I'd definitely have one for road trips. As of right now, I'm holding off not only because I don't actually need it but because I'd like to wait and see more reviews and if any change is possibly coming down the pike software/firmware-wise.
