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.

Its the handheld version of the desktop BCD996P2, which I love. Now that both models have EDACS ProVoice and DMR software loaded, I can monitor over 95% of the public safety systems in my area. The 325P2 is a great size to fit in your hand and its volume is strong. I have two earlier models - BCD396T and BCD396XT - and the BCD325P2 is my new favorite.

First of all I paid for a New unit and received a used like new Amazon substitute, it will cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars to get it programmed to work. Then all you have to do is get a PhD in radio communications engineering to figure out how to use the scanner! Amazon would not let me return it-very disappointed.

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.

Good scanner if you know how to program p25 channels and frequencies, how ever the upgrade to hear DMR, and 2 Other systems will cost you if you can’t download the latest firmware. It can only be downloaded via windows system, will not work with chrome or other systems. But with more and more counties going p25 trunking… this scanner is one that will be useful and helpful. Wish the batteries lasted longer on charge…but all in all… it’s portable and works when the power goes out!! Would buy 2 more!! But would find a source of computer friendly for upgradable systems and firmware upgrades.

Im sure this is a great scanner. This thing is hard to program. Good luck unless you get the software. $39.99 So after buying the scanner. You need to get the software or you will have a very difficult time programming it. When something is this much trouble. It isnt worth the headache to me. I had to return it.

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!

The scanner works great. I am very happy with this purchase. It is definitely not a easy program, but with a little patience can be figured out pretty easily. It also can be programmed with computer software which makes things so much easier. I love how detailed you can get with a programming honestly.

Works perfectly. Controls are what they are, and they are ok, but not great. Unless you have a lot of spare time and patience, you are going to need to also buy software to program this, and likely a subscription to a scanner frequency database.

Its a nice little scanner for the money and very easy to program if you use something like RadioReference and FreeSCAN. That way you dont have to manually enter in 100s of frequencies. The rechargeable batteries that come with it stink! (Made in China) and only last about 4 hours if youre lucky on a full charge. I would highly recommend you invest in a couple of Lithium/Li-ion Batteries AA batteries like the TENAVOLTS First Generation Rechargeable batteries which will give you more than 7 hours of seamless enjoyment. Ive also ordered a Diamond (Original) RH77CA 144/440 MHz. Dual-Band High Gain Handheld Antenna for it to see if I can clearly pick up more channels - (Ill let you know). Overall, it was a good purchase!

One of the most compact portable scanners on the market. Easy to program and easier to use. Great value for the money
