But sometimes it does.
I absolutely love this scanner. I truly thought that some of the features were gimmicky, and might not work well. For example, one function allows you to search for nearby frequencies. On older units, this was a guaranteed way to find the nearest drive-through, since the radios they use tend to be highly powered, and stomp other frequencies. This unit has changed the way the function works, and without explaining it in detail, I can say that I'm ecstatic with the functionality.
"Why is this better than an app on your phone?"
I have a scanner app on my phone, and I use it regularly. I also have an old Radio Shack handheld unit, and this new unit. The app is amazing, truly. However, the app is limited to your cellular signal, and it doesn't give you the control to fine-tune your frequencies. You're locked into a bank of nearby channels, pre-selected for you. The Uniden gives you an incredible amount of control, as well as thorough information on the channels.
”OK, but it's going to take weeks to program properly!”
Not at all, actually! The included software has the majority of channels, organized by state and county, and allows you to pick and choose. Learning the software can be a bit tricky at first, but I found a video online that helped me to figure it out in minutes. Once I knew the functions, I was off to the races, and had my scanner working and receiving traffic within 15 minutes. I have since fine-tuned, and even added my own channels. There are some great online resources for frequency lists, and you can find some great and obscure channels.
I carry this scanner everywhere with me, which is not typical. I don't like carrying things with me all the time, and do it with very few items. This has become one of those, because it is a wonderful piece of technology.
I have gone to rechargeable batteries, however, because this unit can eat batteries if you run it constantly.
"Is it worth it?"
Without question, if you have the money to spend, you'll love this unit. It has quirks - I'm not a huge fan of the squelch/volume control, since you have to press a button to change the mode of a single rotary switch, rather than having dedicated switches. That said, I don't change the squelch every 5 minutes, and it isn't enough to make the unit terrible. I'd buy it again without hesitation.
I purchased a Radio Shack 800mhz BNC antenna since my area (Seattle, WA) makes heavy use of 700/800mhz trunked systems - reception is great throughout the city for me, even indoors in every situation I've been in so far.
Update the database when you get it so you have the latest data - my data was a bit outdated when I got it, but the update process is quite easy - just plug the radio in to your computer via the Mini USB port which exposes a USB Mass Storage device with the database and utilities.
Using the zip-code based scanning is very simple. If you're in a very dense metro area (again, I'm in Seattle) I found that you can safely set the "range" to 1.0 mile and it reduces the neighboring city systems fairly decently (the way it calculates range is your specified range, and the stated range on a given system - so with 1 mile specified, you'll still pick up systems that are in other cities if they state their range is 40 miles, for example). Reducing the range setting in the scanner at least narrows the scope a little bit.
If you want to do more manual frequency searching I do find the interface to be a little unintuitive - but that's what a cup of coffee and reading the manual more in-depth is for, I suppose :)
My one negative is that the screen is not recessed, and if you just toss it in a bag it will scuff/scratch. I cut up a cheap cell phone screen protector to fit it for some peace of mind and durability. As others have said, the actual LCD is a bit deep under the plastic screen and the viewing angles can be limited. That doesn't really bother me, but I'll acknowledge that it's true.

間違い無く商品は新品であり、故障時は、3年間の無償修理まで対応してくれるそうです。
国内で飼うより1万円以上やすかったので満足しています。
国内のメーカーですが、アメリカ仕様のため、サーチして聴くと言うのがメインの為、慣れるまでは
大変ですが、サーチが早く、その上で弱い電波でもシッカリ止まってくれます。
また、周波数カウンタトシテノキノウモシッカリシテオリ、DJ-X11より感度がよいです。
