how many channels will it scan

It is not set up to scan. It is set to allow you to tune into channel 16 and one other channel of your choosing so you can talk on 8 or 13 and still monitor 16.

It doesn't scan, you need a better radio for that. I bought mine for weather reports. Carry it in the motor home when we travel, always have latest weather reports at our fingertips. Good radio in my opinion.

Sorry I am a bit late with my answer, we are in Micronesia on the outer islands, we had no internet for almost 2 months, I just tried it out, and for me it scans all the channels available, we have the radio for more then 2 years now and are very happy with it, very small and light, easy to take with you. Hope it answers your question, regards, Eddy

Yes. I live in the San Fernando Valley (CA) and my TV picked up 101 digital channels. I was also skeptical at first but this proved me wrong when I tried it this morning. The channels look great like others have said, although I noticed one channel, Fox TV (11.1), was blotchy and my TV eventually gave up looking for signal in about 10-20 seconds. One thing to keep in mind is that when your TV is auto-scanning for channels, make sure you set it to "Antenna" or "Air" (and NOT Cable), otherwise you will probably just see 1 analog channel like I did :).

Update on answer below, duh, I was answering about a different scanner below, my bad. I also own the scanner above and yes, it should pick that frequency up. I recommend spending I bit more and getting the bcd396xt described below. If I was more awake, I would have noticed the question was about my previous scanner. I own them both. Radio reference.com will answer all your questions. Sorry about below. I also enjoyed the scanner above, but it has its limitations. No trunked frequencies and no 800-900 frequencies either. Save your money for a better scanner. I bought both, I got the better one later on. Update on answer below, duh, I was answering about a different scanner below, my bad.

I don't know. I sent it back for a refund as it didn't scan any better than my TV's internal scanner.

According to the MP NAvigator software that comes with it you can do a Duplex batch scan. I've never actually done it, but it appears to put it all together.

It will pickup 7 weather channels. It scans to find the best reception for one of them

Don't think so you have to be stationary in order to re scan for nearest channels

U have to do a channel search from the main menu. And then it will find all the available channels thru the antenna

Yes. You will have to manually program it for any channels. Others have indicated that the manual is pretty sketchy with details on how to manually do that. The computer minimizes the programing down to about 3 minutes total. After programming, a computer is no longer necessary. I have zero scanner experience and I love this scanner!

You can scan various frequencies. I don't have the frequency of your police channels, so I can't answer your question.

I don`t recommend this small one . picks up maybe 25 channels ! the larger one cost a little more but picks a lot more 40+ channels. We have both large and small .Hope this was helpful

Well its not very good for being a "scanner" - is the scan rate/continue is very slow and buggy. But you do it by holding down the VM/scan button for 2.5s - hitting the menu button clears the scan mode and in the software you designat e an S for channels you want skipped during scan - there is no lock out.

Yes It does. As to say : SCAN 1 , SCAN 2 , SCAN 3 and SCAN 4.I believe it does not mean exactly 2 times ,3 times or 4 times the original scanning rate,though.

This is a terrible product and failed after about 2 uses. I recommend you buy another portable scanner. To answer your question: these type of scanners only scan one side at a time.

Doxie One reads up to 12" per scan. It sounds like the Doxie Go would fit your needs a bit better. It scans up to 15" per scan. Regina @ Doxie Customer Care help@getdoxie.com

From what I have found with mine, it will pick up just about anything other than scrambled transmissions. It is NOT very easy to program, however. It's an awesome scanner, but so good that it's a bit complex.

not many...i hated that scanner. Check out the Brother Image Center ADS 2000. It works well and can do multiple pages.
