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.

Uniden BCD325P2 Handheld TrunkTracker V Scanner Audio is crisp and clear, as digital should be. But the dispatchers volume is rather weak. There must be a setting to set Automatic Gain Control other than the one I checked. The real problem is the fact that it quit working on rechargeable batteries. Arrived on time and price was good.

Love the capacity & capability of this scanner. The one big negative is batteries. They only last 4 hours and you can only charge them when the scanner is off.

just got this a couple of days ago. love it !! its an aweome little scanner. with a subscription to radioreference.com and freescan application loaded I had my local area programmed in no time at all. our area has an old Motorola trunked system that will be replaced soon with a new P25 II system so dont know how itll work on the new system. I havent tried VHF yet, going to borrow the antennna on my BCT15x (best scanner ever !!) and give it a whirl. it likes AA batteries so if you dont have a charger and more batteries Id purchase some also. you know uniden comes so close to making great stuff but they need to take it up a notch....the USB connector is a mini USB....a mini? not micro like every thing esle has been for the last ten years !! and you cant charge it while listening, you have to turn off the radio to charge the batteries?!?! is it 1998?? and the manual they provide is for serious scan buffs, I am not a scan nerd so the manual gave me a headache ! great portable scanner that Id recommed.

Feature wise, this scanner does what it says on the tin and has a good feature set. Audio is heard clearly. You better have plenty of batteries. I put in fresh Duracell AA batts and they were dead only after 6 hours!!! If not for the fact this scanner eats batteries so quickly, I would have rated it 5 stars. I knock off two stars because of this.

Scanner works well, can be a bit of a challenge to program, but on the whole, easy to operate.

Grade scanner because it gets lots of channels. You have to pay for the upgrade to get DMR. Its also difficult. To turn systems on and off you have to go through a series of menus.

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

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.

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.

All I can say is Im impressed! This little scanner really pulls in the distant signals. I have been a scanner enthusiast over 40 years and have owned several BearCat scanners along with Radio Shack radios. I also own a SDS200 and the BCD325P2 gives it a run for the money when it comes to reception. The SDS has many more features but the BCD325P2 being a 335 buck radio is well worth the investment. I highly recommend a radiorefference.co subscription and also purchasing a license for the ProScan software. After doing so, I had the scanner receiving all of the local area channels in no time. Note that depending where you live, you may need to upgrade to the DMR, ProVoice or NXDN license to listen in your area. I often listen to my 325P on the carport under an aluminum canopy with the included rubber duck antenna and pickup channels 30 mile away as the bird flies. I highly recommend the BCD325P2 scanner.
