Guide Review - Racing Electronics RE3000 Scanner Review
The RE3000 race scanner features 440 channels and alpha-numeric channel tagging in a lightweight palm-sized scanner. You can also repeat the last 30 seconds of audio in case you missed something.
Above all though, my favorite feature is over-the-air programming. Instead of spending time pouring over frequency lists, manually typing in frequencies, risking typos and carpal tunnel the RE3000 can do it all for you.
How it works is that while at the track you walk over near the Racing Electronics trailer and put the scanner in Over-The-Air programming mode. In just a few seconds all of the frequencies and names are downloaded to your scanner and you are ready to go to the race. This is a very cool feature which will save tons of time and effort worrying about frequency lists and manually typing in numbers.
