Question 1

does the scanner recieve annalog or digital transmissions

Accepted Answer

Perhaps the a new model was released under the same part number, because there are many answer from 2013 stating this is not a digital scanner and that this is not a trunking scanner, but today in 2017 it clearly is.  The description lists P25 Phase I and II as well as X-TDMA.  P25 is the digital radio standard for public safety.  X-TDMA is the digital standard for multimedia data over radio.  There is also a lengthy list of trunking technologies that are supported by this model.  Amazon should clean up and delete the old misleading answers as they no longer apply.

Question 2

I know nothing about scanners in general. Is this a good scanner for beginners, and does it come with everything needed to set up and listen?

Accepted Answer

In short, it is a good basic starter scanner. It will get you all analog transmissions from 27Mhz all the way up to 800Mhz.For a beginner scanner though, it can be a little tough to program manually. I learned through google searches and youtube videos. But if you want to just figure out what is going on around you, the scanner is preset to scanner different frequency stretches with the push of a button. So you can tell it to search just the standard police/fire/ems frequencies, or just the aircraft frequencies instead of manually programming.Oh, and yes this comes with enough accessories to permanently (wiring harness) or temporarily (cig lighter) set up in your car/truck or in your home as a base scanner (wall plug).Hope that helps..

Question 3

What is the difference between the Uniden Scanner model number BC355N and the Uniden Scanner with model number BC355C?

Accepted Answer

The 335N is just an updated model. The BC355C is no longer in production by Uniden instead the newer BC355N is the current production model. Both scanners are essentially the same aside from very minor technical specifications, just one is currently in production and the other isn't.

Question 4

what type of external antenna connector does it take I want to use it in my RV and I have a car type push in plug does that work.

Accepted Answer

I have experience in this area myself. I do not know if it's available anymore but I used to have a scanner connected straight to my in car FM Radio antenna via a car radio to BNC adapter and worked very well, they also have a CB radio Coaxial to BNC adapter as well and works very well. I am a retired Firefighter/EMT and used same model and worked very well.
