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.

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.

kind of a pain to program had mine about 5yrs better recieve then whistler ws-1040 which i also have the two systems i monitor are p25 & star comm in which bearcat receives both well but whistler seems to struggle no matter the settings - threshold- as long as scanners been made you would think BEARCAT would make their units with keypad back light not just the display my personal opinion if you only going to monitor conventional frequencies or starcom the whistler would be fine & slightly cheaper but also little bigger more user friendly to program & the whole radio has bright backlight display & you can also turn off both independently hope this helps in decision making.....happy programming

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

The scanner works ok. The keypad on the one I bought was loosing its paint off the keys. Was hard to read with little use. I told Uniden. I read others have the same problem on RR. You need to get good rechargeable batteries. Two dont last long. I have many scanners, this is the only one that I have ever had where keypads were junk as far as holding the print. They wear off with little use.

Nice small size and covers all the new freq without an issue. Easy to use.

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.

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

The setup is familiar with Uniden scanners. This about where the similarities to previous Uniden scanners end. Historically you could just plug in a scanner and it would charge. For some reason, Uniden decided that it would ask whether you want to charge or not. Seems silly and is a pain. The most important CON to this scanner, it fails when it comes to working a simulcast system. On my system, its performance is about a 3/10. I emailed Uniden to see if they had any planned firmware updates to address the inadequacy of decoding simulcast systems...it was met with no response. For what its worth, they do have a scanner that is supposed to be better at simulcast systems, but this scanner is not the answer. If you are in an area where simulcast is not the system in use, go for it, if not, skip this one...it will only disappoint.

Returned over two weeks ago. No refund or confirmation. After spending the time to learn to use it and to program the channels, radio wont stay locked in to channel. Sound quality poor. Waiting for refund so I can purchase better product. Terrible customer service.

It’s a good product but had to take and get programmed to scan. Haven’t figured out how to make it auto scan channels other than police. Not like others where u take out of box and it automatically starts scan. Instructions a little unclear on use of unit, refers to a lot of other units that doesn’t apply to this unit. Haven’t had it long enough to decide about battery life. Over all it is a good quality product that has down falls of functionality and ease of use.
