The Uniden BR330T is one of those scanners that has a special place in my collection.  For many years it was my "go to" scanner.

What You Need To Know

  • At that time, they were $250USD for this radio making it about $322 radio in 2021 dollars.
  • This radio was ahead of it’s time and a unicorn in the scanner radio hobby
  • I have not seen another scanner since that can do what the BR330T was capable of achieving
