A reasonable all-in-one for a nightstand if your local dispatch is still analog, not a choice for anyone who needs digital P25 coverage.

Overview
The Uniden BC365CRS combines a 500 channel analog scanner with a bedside alarm clock and FM radio, aimed at home listeners who want police, fire, marine, air and weather traffic without a separate scanning-only unit.
It's conventional analog only. Uniden is explicit that departments running P25, DMR or NXDN digital trunking won't be audible on this model, so it's worth checking what your local agencies use before buying. Where it does fit, the alarm clock can wake you to scanning, a saved weather channel, or one of up to 30 FM presets instead of a plain tone.
- 500 channels across 10 banks
- Built-in alarm clock with snooze/sleep and FM radio (30 presets)
- Priority channel with do-not-disturb
- Conventional analog only, not digital P25/DMR/NXDN
Who it's for
Fits someone who wants a single desktop or nightstand unit that scans analog police, fire, marine, air and rail traffic and also works as a clock radio. Not a fit if your area has moved to digital trunked dispatch.
Pros and cons
- Doubles as an alarm clock and FM radio (30 presets) alongside the scanner
- Priority with do-not-disturb keeps checking key channels during a scan
- Wide analog band presets: police/fire, marine, air, rail, weather
- Backlit LCD readable at night
- Analog only, explicitly not for P25, DMR or NXDN digital systems
- Desktop design, not portable
Performance notes
500 channels are organized across ten banks with presets for police/fire/emergency, weather, marine, aircraft, amateur radio and railroad bands, so you can start scanning without building your own channel list first. Priority with do-not-disturb rechecks your saved priority channels every two seconds during a scan cycle, so you don't miss activity on the frequencies you care about most.
