I bought a Scannocular for $10 the other day .Don't ask ,it seemed like a good idea at the time and it was only ten bucks. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do any programming.Any one have a link to a manual or copy of one they could send as an attachment? It seems that information on these are difficult to find at least for me.

Found Manual online (finally).
I seem to remember that those radios were actually Uniden SC-180 or SC-200 radios inside.
Those were actually pretty nice receivers so it may turn out to be a decent conventional scanner.
Let us know how it works out... Best of luck...

I have a few freqs. entered . It seems to be working just fine. I wish it had wall wart power but for $10.00 I'll get my money's worth out of it.

Wow! I didn't even know they made something like this. Anyone know how much these cost when they first came out or what year?

Late 90's, early 2000. They were around $120. Wally-world used to sell them. They were marketed big time here in the land of NASCAR. Never could get a handle on this one though

looks to be one on ebay for $65

so for $10 you cant complain... doesnt even look like the original came with an AC adapter either so no worries..

I dont know what use the display would be.. if your looking in the noculars you cant see the display
would have been really cool if thye made the display so you see it in the noculars like a Heads Up Display
although it wouldnt be $65 then

A nice feature on the scannocular is that the display lights up when it picks up a transmission. I will find a use for it.

that radio goes for about 60$ use at places like universal radio, so you locked onto a good deal!

I just got a Scannoculars off of Listia.com today (it arrived in the mail today). Has anyone found a manual for it yet? I have found out a few things about the scanner so far.
1 You can separate the radio from the binoculars and use them separately.
2 The binoculars spec are 8x25, 314ft/1000yds, field 6 degrees.
3 The radio will receive the am airplane transmissions. Some scanners say thay can receive the am
transmissions from airplanes but in reality can only receive fm modulation and depend on a cheap
slide slope modulation to receive the am modulation. It is a cheap way to cut corners in building the
scanner (less parts).
4 I have been living on a government monthly disability check most of my live and learned the ins and outs
of safe jarry rigging. I think I have found a way to add an external power jack to this radio.
