Need help with a BC365crs please

[Classracer]

Good day, my brother in law who is blind and mentally challenged listens to his scanner all the time. However, two weeks ago his mother moved into a home and he moved in with us. I'm not into scanners per say, but I can read instructions. I can get the weather etc but the local fire/police/etc are dead. Since we live on a mountain in the woods, as opposed to the town he was in, I'm wondering if I need a better antenna? It currently has the short factory one now.
Also, for reference, we have a cellfi booster because we have little signal up here. So....how much of a range does this thing have and should I get an outdoor antenna??

Any other idea's??

Thank you.

What county and state was he in, and what county and state is he in now? We need to see what's listed in the database for the new area of residence. Also, the scanner in question is analog only and will not do any digital or trunking and will not work on anything above 512Mhz.

The Uniden Bearcat BC365CRS FM Clock Radio Base Scanners are a great all-in-one solution when you are looking for a top of the line alarm clock that can also be used as a police scanner radio.

Since we all can't read minds, you have to let us know what county and state your trying to get.

Most likely your area is digital trunked and that radio is just analog non trunked. Until you let us know where we don't know.

Broadcastify his old location radio channels via internet.. Add the locals to the scanner.
