Does it find the best frequency automatically?

No it doesn't auto find the best frequency, which is a bit disappointing because sometimes it takes a awhile to find a clear channel, but for the money this unit is worth it. I'm still glad I purchased it. I had also purchased one for my son for Christmas prior to purchasing on for myself, and he is happy with the unit also.

Yes. just plug it in the lighter plug and set the tuner and radio to the clearest station. there is even a memory button so it will remember the station you like the best. you can scan for stations or go through each station manually.

Yes it does, you just have to tell it (program) the frequencies you want to scan. Great unit.

Yes. On the left press the PROG button and use the hour/minute buttons to set the time you want. Then press the AUTO button on the right and that's it. It has to off though to set it.

That is my understanding. When I set mine up I scanned for the strongest signal, which indicated the station closest to my physical location. I don't know whether it will shift stations dynamically as you change locations, or if you have to do it manually. I'd look for that answer on-line (or call up the distributor).

Hi, Jeff Yes, this clock sets itself so it automatically receives a signal everynight and will have your time zone, and digital thermometer

No; you have to run each station manually on at the time. There is no "all stations manual run".

You can program the radio manually with the keypad. Either direct entry or scan a range of frequencies until the signal is found.

No, but it helps. Most agencies of every type use multiple frequencies now. Either assigned for different uses (dispatch calls, information, SWAT, detectives, etc.) or in a trunking scheme (multiple frequencies that change via computer control). By using the search feature, you can pick these up, but it may take you a while to decipher who is who and why. You can search on the internet for frequencies in your area, or become acquainted with a ham operator, or even call your local news radio station. All of these sources could probably help you out with local freq's.

Yes, standard US frequency tuning. 10 KHz on AM .1 MHz on FM starting at 87.5
1446170
No, I used my fingers to adjust the frequency. It defaults to 88.1 FM, when you unplug it, so one has to reenter the frequency each time. A pain, but the sound and price is good.

Press program until you reach desired channel.2. enter the frequency 3.press enter &repeat; 4. press scan after you have entered all frequencies.

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.

Yes, it is actually set up to do it automatically but you can customize the time etc from the web gui.

No, re buttons are only used to set the tuner to radio frequencies. There's a manual up and down, and an auto-seek type of function that looks for the strongest empty signal around you

Scan radio frequencies manually, until you find one with quiet static and no radio stations, press save. Save it as a preset. Simples

Yes, absolutely! You can have it scan a band automatically where it runs at 5hz increments, you can manually key in the frequency, or yes you can turn the knob. If you use the knob you can set it so if you turn it quickly it goes in 5hz increments and slowly in 1hz increments. You can also set it so either increment is what you get when you turn it whether you go fast or slow. There is another option, one I don't use because I don't care for it, where it scans and automatically adds any frequency with a signal to a temporary memory. You can then turn the knob to jump from each of those entries to the next. Yes, absolutely!
