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.

Omg programming this scanner is insanely difficult took me 30 days to figure this out finally got the scanner to work and its amazing scanner. Really needs to come with a step by step software would have made programming much easier I give this scanner a 5 star for overall quality and a 1 Star for programming and setting up the scanner

I have had several Uniden scanners, and this scanner is a major step back for Uniden, And I am surprised that Uniden actually markets it. First, contrary to what the manual says, it will not operated without batteries; The USB cable can also be used to power the scanner when the batteries are removed. Plug the USB cable into the scanner with no batteries and No Battery will display. Press and hold the power button to turn on the scanner., that is an out-and-out lie. Second it EATS batteries. With the cheapo rechargeable batteries that comes with it, plan on 30 to 45 minutes of listen time, then a 14 hour charge time. If you buy better rechargeable batteries, then you get up to 3 hours of listen time, then a 14 hour recharge time. And if you decide to use regular batteries to avoid the 14 hour outage to recharge, then buy stock in a battery company because you will make them richer having to continually replace the batteries.

I have owned many scanners over the years, and some since this one. Not impressed with this one. It goes through the battery like crazy! On a full charge, left on one channel maybe 2 hours. If scanning, 30 minutes. Battery life on this, sucks. Hard to program as well. I do like the features it has. So, that part I do like about this. But thats about it. I would pass on this one and go for a BCD436HP instead

I did not like the process to receive the item. I was shammed twice, and on their final attempt it proved to be the real item and worth the wait.

The batteries it comes with need replacing. But the unit is fantastic! I use it daily with no issues at all. Use with chirp to program, makes it so much easier. But replace the batteries.

Been using radio scanners for over 30 years now. Lifelong passion of mine. Licensed Amateur radio operator, computer science degree, etc. Some have said that this radio is impossible to figure out but that wasnt my experience. It was a little difficult but only took about a day for me to master. However, the P25 digital audio quality was pretty terrible so I ultimately returned this scanner. Sad because I really, really want a good P25 scanner. I wonder how much of the audio problem is due to the scanner and how much is due to the general design of P25. I really miss the days of trunked radio systems with convential analog audio. Btw I could probably work with this scanner if it was like $150 or $200 but I just couldnt bring myself to deal with the bad audio for $390 with tax. The audio often sounds like the adults in a Peanuts cartoon...

I payed full price for this scanner which is listed as new but it is clearly not new and on top of that it says batteries included both in description and in the manual, but there are no batteries and the box is smashed a little and there are scratches on the screen. The manuals are dirty like someone has handled them a lot. Also the twist tie that is on the USB cable looks like it came off a bread wrapper it is not what they use in packaging these scanners. I will see if it works after writing this review. The Scratches are hard to see when I took pictures but the slightly damaged box and bread wrapper twist tie are easily seen. There was no plastic protective bag on the scanner and no protective film to peal off of the screen.

Either I cant read correctly, or the instructions dont match. Put in numbers for my county and nothing happens. Cant pick up anything, not even planes.

Good scanner if you know how to program p25 channels and frequencies, how ever the upgrade to hear DMR, and 2 Other systems will cost you if you can’t download the latest firmware. It can only be downloaded via windows system, will not work with chrome or other systems. But with more and more counties going p25 trunking… this scanner is one that will be useful and helpful. Wish the batteries lasted longer on charge…but all in all… it’s portable and works when the power goes out!! Would buy 2 more!! But would find a source of computer friendly for upgradable systems and firmware upgrades.

Combined this with ProScan programming software (worked the best $50) and a Radio Reference subscription (online frequency database that works with ProScan $15/6 months) to program the device. Software also allows you to create multiple backups and/or configurations. Only negative I see is the battery recharging is a little weird. Charges on a timer that is settable and doesnt turn off when battery is charged. Seems to run off battery when plugged into USB port and does not recharge until turned off. If you remove batteries, it runs off USB power. Im a little new to the device...this part seems to have not been thought through.
