A three-dimensional model of police radio scanner. Typically installed into the dashboard of patrol cars, this police scanner has a wood or faux-wood exterior covering the internal components on all sides, save for some parts of the back where ports for external plugs can be found, and the front panel. The scanner's front panel appears to be black plastic and has many square-shaped, black buttons that control different functions. On the right of the front panel are numbered buttons with corresponding red lights used to change the channel or frequency of the radio and indicate what channel was currently in use. On the left are buttons for the power, manual scan mode, channel selector, sound setting and quality, and two sliding tabs for the device's volume and another function called "Squelch." This particular radio scanner has a small piece of paper with typewritten text that indicates what purpose each of the numbered channels serve for this police department. The model can be moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out, allowing the viewer to examine the object's details from multiple angles.
