Dakota Alert has a very good tech support department. They've helped me very efficiently in the past. http://www.dakotaalert.com/contact.php

I would call the factory. You can get the number by doing a search on Google. They were very helpful to me and even replaced a unit that had a "bad board" in it. Hope you have good luck.

The best thing to do is call Dakota @ 605.356.2772 and ask for tech support.However, here are the frequencies: 154.820 MHz151.880 MHz151.940 MHz154.570 MHz154.600 MHz

I bought the base unit. Didn't use a scanner. Not sure what frequency it uses. Might call the manufacture.

Any time I had a question I just call customer service. They were great each time. Need the number let me know.

Ed, Radio Reference has a good forum there, you should no doubt look up yokur state and local police frequencies. You can find atf also. I have a digital and an analog scanner-state police are digital out here. I need to update the digital acanner-a nice uniden bcd396t handheld-the broadcasts do get interesting. That scanner ran me right at $425 app, it works well.The analog is a radio shack handheld, for when the locals were still analog. Again, the broadcasts where I live could get very interesting, the funniest were cows geting loose from pastures and cops reporting about being next to the "alleged cow".

It has the ability to pickup a small range of frequencies that police agencies use. This scanner picks up 450-470 MHz. Some agencies use this while others opt to use the 150-160 MHz range. If there is one particular agency that you are trying to monitor, check and see if they fall in the 450-470 MHz range. If so, this will work for you.

Unlike unexpired multiple alerts, expired alert messages show neither the date or time of the alert nor duration, just the message and "Expired." To be honest, pretty worthless information. The last 20 are listed and expired messages are NOT removed contrary to the manual. You would think that they could do better.P.S. Weekly tests are a hit and miss even when one can see the transmitting antenna. But real alerts seem to come through okay.

I just entered freqs from police department and I was able to hear them whenever they talked. I never used the FreeScan program. Or if your feeling lazy one day you can let the scanner find any available freqs on it's own and save them as you go.

For anyone reading this I actually listen to a scanner on the internet though it's probably not as good as having your own scanner. Yes it's also true that most of the time you don't get to hear a radio call in full. They jump around just in case the bad guys are listening in. Here is the website all you have to do is search for your area. I'm already a member so I am not really sure if you can listen without being one but you'll find out. http://www.broadcastify.com/

Please note there are several models. The only one to get is the MURS system. Be sure the vendor specifies it is a MURS system by Dakota Alert. I owned the others too and they weren't impressive at all nor did they last long. You said you need 1/2 mile range. Call Dakota Alert. They are easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Be sure to buy it from a vendor that will let you return it if you do not get the desired range. Also call Dakota Alert if you have trouble setting it up. They have always been glad to help me. P.S. I am buying another transmitter this week. I've had mine for several years and it's the best thing out there I believe. Please note there are several models. The only one to get is the MURS system.

I have a MURS system by Dakota Alert. The 2500 and 3000 models are a totally different system. Don't waste your money on them, go with a MURS. I had the other type but it didn't work well at all. I am very happy with the MURS and plan to buy one for my mother's house. Also you can add transmitters (ex front and back yards) and it will tell you which transmitter detected movement. Don't hesitate to call Dakota Alert for questions and to help you set it up. They are very helpful and friendly.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

Contact http://www.vupointsolutions.com/contacts and ask them if you can download one. I gave my scanner away but maybe someone around here might have one you could use.

This scanner cannot decode digital systems. It can do 800mhz non-digital. You'll need to find out if they are digital or not. Jump on radioreference.com and check the database or register for the forum. There are forum sub groups by state and someone from your area may be able to help you pick a scanner.

You cannot. You set in the menu a specific NOAA frequency number (it doesn't list the frequencies, just assigns them a memory number) and if there's an alert, the radio will let you know.

I needed a replacement just ordered what was in the detector. I did not need to know what Ah it was rated I guess you could try google or MFG web site.

You can contact the Uniden manufacturer at https://www.uniden.com/page/contactus Be prepared to wait on hold. We actually, did not get an instruction sheet with ours it was on a cd (that could have been printed out, but many pages). We had to have a person who know more about radios set our scanner up for us. Question: Were you able to set your own up? I wish we had gotten a "quick start" type manual of some sort.Thanks

I would say they weren't using their radar or had it turned off. Some patrol cars don't even have radar. The unit is very sensitive and will definitely pick up a signal. Mine has saved me from 3 tickets in the few months i've had it.

I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately the scanner hasn't worked so I am not using it.

Sorry. It's been too long ago to remember about S/N's and registrations... I do know that this is the best detector i've ever owned. Operates flawlessly w/ excellent range. A real road warrior's best tool...
