Uniden BCD325P2 Handheld TrunkTracker V Scanner. 25,000 Dynamically Allocated Channels. Close Call RF Capture Technology. Location-Based Scanning and S.A.M.E. Weather Alert. Compact Size.

The scanner works great. I am very happy with this purchase. It is definitely not a easy program, but with a little patience can be figured out pretty easily. It also can be programmed with computer software which makes things so much easier. I love how detailed you can get with a programming honestly.

I havent done much testing on this radio but I found out the stock antanna is poor quality ( garbage ) a compatible third party antanna is recommended the radio is easy to program via pc useing FreeScan I also got some DX1500 NiMH 1.2v 2500MAh batterys to replace the included stock rechargeable batterys Im still trying to figure out the P25 feature I did update the firmware to 1.09.12 that added more features this is my first digital scanner so Ill learn

The learning curve was a little steep for programming. You have no choice but to join and use Radio Reference if you want to program trunks. After a couple days of reading and several attempts, I finally got most of the Police, Fire and Rescue, the State Police and the Public Utilities. I added the GPS and it automatically locks out stuff thats out of range. I only use that in the car because it needs to be plugged into a USB power source or it kills the battery.

Capable of everything I want just very hard to program

Its a nice little scanner for the money and very easy to program if you use something like RadioReference and FreeSCAN. That way you dont have to manually enter in 100s of frequencies. The rechargeable batteries that come with it stink! (Made in China) and only last about 4 hours if youre lucky on a full charge. I would highly recommend you invest in a couple of Lithium/Li-ion Batteries AA batteries like the TENAVOLTS First Generation Rechargeable batteries which will give you more than 7 hours of seamless enjoyment. Ive also ordered a Diamond (Original) RH77CA 144/440 MHz. Dual-Band High Gain Handheld Antenna for it to see if I can clearly pick up more channels - (Ill let you know). Overall, it was a good purchase!

Only thing I dislike is it doesnt charge the battery while in use. Otherwise its great for p25 systems and normal analog systems.

This scanner seems to do well with reception for higher-powered agencies. The only problem I have, and its a pretty big problem, is that the battery life is POOR to say the least! It sat on my desk for 2 days in the off position after being fully charged. Came back to work and it was dead. Had to go back on the charger. While on, Im lucky to get a shift out of it. Has to stay plugged in whenever possible. Perhaps the batteries are bad? Not too sure but the battery life is awful. Not a bad little scanner, though.

Not the easiest to program. Manual is very confusing.

This is a damn good radio, no question, but the battery life SUCKS, and the usb charging, lord is just as bad. The radio is all around good for use. But keep extra rechargable battiers on hand in case. Decoding digital p25 and dmr is fantastic. If you can receive on the 400 mhz then you are very lucky, it lacks the reciving on that band (where most dmr is) But the 700 and 800 mhz is really good. And the 150 mhz band as well. Ease of use: Well its not easy to program if you are new to this so its not cut and dry. But it had a 3.5 out of 5 for me. Wish they would resolve the battery issue and the mute 450 band.

Bought this scanner to monitor a neighboring countys phase II system. Scanner works well and sounds awesome, also use it for monitor a few DMR systems with no issues. Battery life leaves a little to be desired for, but I have plenty of rechargeable AA batteries, and I usually leave the scanner plugged in when Im at work or home. Really happy with this scanner.
