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.

After a 32 year career in LE and retired for 6, my oldest son is on the job now as well with my agency. So, I finally jumped on this. It takes a bit of patience to program it as my agency is large with hundreds of trunked channels. However, through the benefit of friends who have this model, it worked out. The instruction manual is hard to read, with especially small print as well. I added a beefier antenna and when at home, use desktop speakers to enhance the sound quality. For the money it is an excellent purchase and does what it should.

This is hard to program unless you are very tech savvy, which is why I gave it 3 stars for ease of use, but after we got this professionally uploaded with surrounding channels my husband hasnt put it down. The sound quality is clear at his workplace but a little broken up at the house with certain channels, sort of like tv channels. Overall, it keeps you informed of surrounding events.

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.

You have to know how to program this type of scanner before you decide to buy. Very complicated if you are a beginner. Although a nice scanner here is what I don’t like *The fact that the batteries will not charge when the scanner is on. * Why do we have to push yes to charge? It should automatically go into charge mode when plugged in. * I use to listen to my old non digital scanner steady so I was able to keep it plugged in and automatically turned on when it received power from the vehicle. This scanner does not do that and you have to physically turn it on and off each time.

Capable of everything I want just very hard to program

Great scanner. Have always had uniden scanners and always had good luck with them. It was time to upgrade and happy with the scanner once I got it programmed. The programming is difficult and the third party software down load is I little confusing to undertstand. The software also caused issues with 2 computers as far as the drivers go. But once the software was working programming was very easy. Defiantly going to get and external speaker.

Its was hard to setup but I went on line to YouTube and found the help I needed.

This scanner is great. Took me several try’s to get the “correct” trunking codes for my state but when I did it was easy to program. I used utube video to help and it did just that. Don’t pay hundreds of dollars for software. You can do it just research it. I did and it paid off big time. Do not sell your self short even you feel deficient in electronics. Research and save money, PLEASE.

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.
