A Uniden NASCAR scanner is a radio that can automatically scan frequencies for NASCAR and other automobile races. The device can also scan police and fire department frequencies, NOAA weather transmissions, utility companies, amateur radio, railroads, and business and industrial radio transmissions. When you hear a signal that is interesting, you can save it in the device's memory, so you can return to it whenever you want. If the scanner is experiencing a problem, or if you want to delete all the programmed frequencies from memory in preparation to sell it to someone, you can easily reset the device.
