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.

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.

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...

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.

this scanner is not for beginners. I have used the older scanners, and this one has a steep learning curve. The GPS unit BR-355S4 should be ordered with it along with the Uniden BC-UTGC cable.

Uniden used to be a good name in radios. Based on this and the previous scanner I got, there is no quality in the products. Had another scanner sitting next to this and it would not pick up transmissions the other scanner would get loud and clear. What was worse is when I went to return it, they did not offer the UPS pickup service like all my other returns have. Would not recommend purchase of *ANY* Uniden products.

Uniden makes good quality stuff, I can’t give less than 5 ⭐️‘s for something I’m sending back only because I can’t program it to do squat, but play fm radio tunes.. Graat* I bought a $300+ radio... Brush up on your nuclear algebraic physicist equations first if you plan on mentally torturing yourself by buying this. Maybe study time travel too perhaps, it might help. If you know how to operate this radio, tell the peeps at NASA I said hello.. *”GOVERNMENT” WARNING* *Wear an aluminum hat when in use*

I payed full price for this scanner which is listed as new but it is clearly not new and on top of that it says batteries included both in description and in the manual, but there are no batteries and the box is smashed a little and there are scratches on the screen. The manuals are dirty like someone has handled them a lot. Also the twist tie that is on the USB cable looks like it came off a bread wrapper it is not what they use in packaging these scanners. I will see if it works after writing this review. The Scratches are hard to see when I took pictures but the slightly damaged box and bread wrapper twist tie are easily seen. There was no plastic protective bag on the scanner and no protective film to peal off of the screen.

Lots of fun to listen to the surrounding Dispatches! I probably shouldve listened to the reviews, and not purchased this as a first time scanner. It came unprogrammed, so I couldnt listen to anything until I searched the manual on doing a basic scan of the entire frequency spectrum. So I tried the freescan software. And that was even difficult to understand. Then I found the ARC XT Pro software. Downside, freescan is free but time consuming to use and ARC is either $40 or $70 (depending on what you want), but its FASTER!! So within 15 minutes of loading up the ARC software and playing around a little (in the trial version), I was able to program my scanner, and listen to the city police, fire and ambulatory dispatches, as well as a few surrounding areas! The only other thing thats not very cool, is the battery life (again noted in the reviews). About 2 or 3 hours of continuous use and it starts beeping at you to replace the batteries. At least its only 2 double As. But you can always just leave it plugged into a power source with the USB Plug. Overall, I am very pleased with this scanner. It is very fun!

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!
