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.

Ok scanner, but battery life could be better, charging while in use, and Bluetooth capability would also be a major plus, so I could connect to my car, and other wireless speakers. Programming is not to bad, *if* you use an app. Overall, Im happy with the purchase, but it could be improved a lot in the areas I mentioned.

This was bought for my nephew. He loves it. It was easy for him to program it himself. (He’s 14)

This scanner works well and is easy enough to program with the provide cable.the only downside is that large trucked systems can be difficult

I bought this scanner due to my local sheriff converted over to P25 Phase 2 (simulcast as well). I hadnt realized that it was going to need simulcast functionality when I bought it, and after I read some reviews saying the simulcast reception was not very good, I was nervous. I received the scanner, programmed the system and tested. Even on firmware v1.06.00, it works ok, after I update firmware to v1.08.01, it should work even better, I recommend this scanner, very good device. **Update: scanner leaves room for improvement, but it does decode digital transmissions ok. Will not handle simulcast systems though, no matter how I configured it. Excellent seller, extremely helpful!

I am pleased with the BCD325P2 scanner.This is my first digital scanner. I have two analog scanners, only one is still working. I found this rather easy to program manually from the keypad, despite what other reviews have indicated. I was able to program an analog system in about 45 min out of the box. I spent a good deal of time studying the manual online a month before I purchased it, so I was familiar with the radio. I wanted a scanner I can program the systems I want to scan, and not worry about national databases, sd cards, and all the clutter I will not use, so i chose this unit. The only issue I have with it is the receiver. It works very well in a quiet RF environment, but gets wiped out near cellular base stations. This happens on both digital and analog. I live less than a block away from a cell tower, and had to hunt for a spot that it will receive the control channel. I have not had any issues with lsm distortion, as i live 2 miles away from the main site. I am happy with the unit, and would recommend it to anyone.

Quality

dont even try to program it, get on radio reference and pay them. that said, this is better than my whistler trx2 in some ways

Its a great scanner. Does the job. But plan to read the manual or go on radioreference.com for advice. Not like they used to be. The freescan software is very easy to use with a 6 min video on YouTube. The 20 min video, Im sure unlocks even more. This thing can do a LOT and there are a lot of features. NEED TO READ THE MANUAL. The battery life is crap in my opinion. Get at least 8 rechargeable and a 4 battery recharger with it. (I got the Energizer pro) If you need this on the move for long hours or days at a time.... IM CHANGING BATERIES IN HOURS. Otherwise, after going through the features and a little learning curve, its a great scanner. Just doesnt work like us older scanner users are used to but it can, less the battery life and some learning.

Great radio but NOT for the un-tech savvy! Youll need to download FreeSCAN software and subscribe to Radioreference.com! Theres youtube videos that show you how to do this! This is not your daddys scanner or your grandpas!

A great radio receiver for the money. Had local professional radio company program all channels with their software program. Really receives calls from a long distance.
