How long do the batteries last when recording? Can you manually choose FM frequencies that are not strong and may not be picked up during the scan?

I haven't used the radio, but the batteries was used aprox 4 month (8 hours/week)

support micro card. You can not record FM radio. you can get FM radio. The thing I am not like is battery is too poor. It only can use for about half hour. I am not recommend to my friend.

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.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

Because many police agencies have changed frequencies over the years to avoid having the public and especially the news media from monitoring calls one would need a programable scanner and the ability to manually punch in the correct frequencies. I've tried numerous times to find my local cops on this, even with the proper frequencies from a list I have, but no luck. Now this doesn't mean the scanner isn't bad. I listen mostly to fire and EMT. Having said that I have picked up some police calls from surrounding counties.

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

Yes, if you set it on the scan setting it will show (with audio) camera 1 for about 6 secs. Before automatically switching to camera 2 (we only have 2) for the same amount of time then it repeats. This is the setting we use overnight. I am very happy with this camera.

Haven't tried AM, but FM is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Clearest recordings I've ever had.

The RCA TH1814 does not have FM and obviously no provision for recording; there is an older (and probably smaller) version that does have FM (not sure if it can record it however) but I was unable to find it among my "not used too often" stuff. The TH1814 does hold a lot of music however and that's good!

Batteries can be fickle even with expensive recorders. I bought a recorder that was $200+ and this little recorder kicks tail over it and can throw it away and buy another one when the battery dies. So far mine has lasted weeks on 1charge, and far exceeds expectations. My sister saw it and bought 2 for herself. I'm not sure, but I always charge my new device before using it. By the way, I have found this recorder to be best operated with the factory defaults. I was messing around with all the settings, and got terrible things happening like screaching high squeals, and almost threw it away. Luckily my sis had one and I reset back to factory. Very happy with it now. (Just a friendly suggest ion)

What's the frequency range are you talking about? Can you manually set the desired freq?

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

Yes it has a scan mode. This radio will not pick-up any freqs that are not in the description of the radio freqs. The radio will not pick up the digital modes of comms like their other products from Anytone Tech who also the distrubutor for the Baofeng UV-82. The radio can pick up the digital modes which is an add-on device that requires a computer to use the enhanced features on 2-meter and 440-mhz. If you want those modes with those features, it will cost you more than what you want to spend.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

It does record sound, but usually doesn't pick up anything more than fifteen feet away. The batteries are backup power in case power fails. They don't operate the lights, just the camera and keep the date/time correct. It has to be wired in for the lights to operate. I suggest not putting it on switched power because the batteries drain pretty fast (a few days to a week). For the money, honestly I reccommend a stealth game camera (like hunters use). There is no visible flash, and the nighttime pictures are a lot better quality. I switched after a year (because my video of some kids breaking into cars was not good enough quality to identify)

Yes, you can program the camera for certain hours. There is a program called "field scan" that allows you to select up to two time periods for the camera to operate. I can't believe that the other users are unaware of this. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The answer to this question depends on the type of batteries you use. I use standard batteries, nothing fancy and if you record and play on this recorder for several hours a day for a week, (14 hours) it soon loses the charge.
