Best of all, you don’t even have to program the scanner to begin using it! The BC350C comes with six Service banks for monitoring police, fire/emergency medical services, marine, air, weather, and CB frequencies. Not only that, there’s even a fully pro- grammable bank for storing your own private collection of favorite frequencies. With the BC350C, you can scan over 3,600 channels.
