RACEceiver Truscan Review
The RACEceiver Truscan NASCAR scanner is a great scanner for a NASCAR fan if you do not mind doing some work during the race. Even though it has 1,600 channels, the RACEceiver Truscan can only automatically scan up to 12 channels that are set up to driver frequencies. You have to manually select the other channels.
The biggest appeal of the RACEceiver Truscan is its extremely compact design. It also comes in different colors.
Key Benefits of the RACEceiver Truscan NASCAR Scanner
- Very small and easy to carry around with you. It comes with a belt clip.
- It automatically scans 12 channels so that you can listen to your favorite drivers. You can set the first channel to a broadcast such as MRN/PRN. If you do that you can auto scan only 11 driver channels.
- It has 1,600 channels, which means you can listen to all the communications going on around the race track, even though you have to manually switch channels except for the 12 auto scan channels.
- You can hook up two RACEceiver Truscan headsets to the unit so that your partner can listen as well and you don’t have to relay the information. Remember to take extra batteries when you do that.

RACEceiver has a new updated model the TruScan Pro which has 3 memory banks and each memory bank holds 1 broadcast channel and 47 driver channel. I also hear that they are getting a new model in a couple of months that allows you to save 59 driver channels in each of the 3 memory banks, has a numeric keyboard on the back so you can input the car# and jump right to that channel. It also has the capability for loading the memory bank wirelessly when RACEceiver is at the track.
