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.

Overall a great handheld. Durable and lasts. Drains batteries; invest in rechargeables. Only uses 2 AA verses the older models that were heavier with 4. I purchased software to easily upload and manage frequencies. Reception is moderate even with a higher gain antenna. Sound quality is ok.

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.

If you have no experience programming a trunk radio system, this scanner can take some time to set up. Once up and running it proved to be a good sounding unit with great signal sensitivity. I intend to upgrade the antenna for something more robust, but I am otherwise satisfied. I used ARC XT Programming software (paid version) and access to a free Radio Reference Account during the scanner set up.

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

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.

Very happy with my purchase of this scanner

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.

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.

Unable to receive local public service activity. Completely useless. Programming with RR/premium yields a relatively ugly paperweight that simply never makes any noise ... Oh well...

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.
