Can you set one to scan the NOAA channels at all times so that you can just keep it in the charger on your kitchen counter campsite table?

These were purchased for my wife's preschool and she believes they can be programmed to a weather channel only. You may be able to find a cheaper alternative though, something that broadcasts weather channels only.

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.

The instructions that come with the radio are inadequate in regard to that subject. The radio has 7 NOAA channels which one tunes to the strongest one; then the ALERT button is pressed to put the radio in the ALERT mode. I am making a presumption that will activate during severe weather alerts; not had any such alerts yet this year. I also have severe weather alerts that come from an area TV station and that should let me know if the ALERT function on the radio work accordingly.

It's in our camper as well. Just at a place w/cable hook ups and tried it. Seemed to only pick up the analog channels but I'm not totally sure I'm doing it right!

Yes this will set off scanners. It has a sharp stainless short knifeVery sharp and can be used as a weapon

Yes, if you can keep the unit working. Mine only worked for a couple months then broke. After numerous promises to send working probes I tacked it up as a worthless piece of junk with NO support.

No, you can't. You can set alarm time on and off, and option to record. You must leave it on the station and then it will record as you set it to.It is a single event (with options) recording. Thanl you for asking!

I have only used it for camping and if I get one or two channels thats OK. It is just for weather reports.This summer we will use it with a camping trailer with built in antenna. Until then I don't know the answer.We do have one of those flat square antenna for a bedroom TV and we get most local channels with it.I would think that it would do the same for this software. Just remember that digital signals are the type that you either have it or you don't.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

I don't believe so. Mine is worthless so I purchased a different scanner. It is a Uniden Home Patrol. It picks up everything.

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.

You can. However their can be some channels that are being used in your area that may not be in the data base. I programed my mothers scanner I just bought her, she didn't have some of the channels in the data base that I put in, others she didn't want. My advise is to install your own channels and you will be happy with what you get. For instance police, fire, railroads, sheriff, school busses, ect, some things programed can be quite boring and just take up space.

No Sentinel does it automatically from unidens servers.. you don't goto radio reference at all for this scanner. . But uniden is still working on getting the wifi dongle and their siren app to work. . They are almost 7 months late on putting out the app

I don't think so. This device is not capable of programming, it starts the measure manually. Besides this one of mine has a physical connection with the iDevice.

As far as I know you can not scan any channels using the manual or key stroke mode. The only way you can is to reprogram the radio using Baofeng's provided software. I have done this many times and it's not that difficultonce you get the hand of it.

I fonot think this will be the right scanner for thus type of application. You might just get a weather radio.

Yes, you can do this, if you are within range of Wifi or someone with internet service that will give you their password to log on too. I live in RV parks, and other places, and without my antenna, I wouldn't have service. At this very moment, I am running off the office secure system, but they gave me the password. This antenna is very simple to use. It does come with a dvd disc that you have to download for the app. It is compatiable with windows 7 or 8.
