    Nice Trunk portable. Light weight and works great with local conventional & trunked systems. Programming manually is tedious to say the least but thats to be expected with so many options, settings, etc. FreeSCAN software (third party) is a MUST if you want to make data entry minutes instead of hours! As the name suggests, its free (http://www.sixspotsoftware.com/products/freescan) and works great with the BCD996P2 and BCD325P2. You can clone the 325 to your 996 in a minute with the software. Also comes with USB programming cable and rechargeable batteries. No power supply but any USB charger (or computer) will do. Note: will only CHARGE batteries when OFF but will also work on USB power alone or 2 standard AAs. I suggest playing with it first before getting serious about programming it all out. The Uniden Trunktracker V System-Site-Group-Channel configuration is different and requires a little learning curve. I have mine set up to look like a conventional scanner with banks although it is much different with System-Site-Group-Channel structure, The manual (on the 325 and the 996) leaves a lot to be desired in many respects. The layout is easier to see with the third party software but I would recommend the manual method to learn it and then RUN with the software. Itll make more sense.

    Only thing I dislike is it doesnt charge the battery while in use. Otherwise its great for p25 systems and normal analog systems.

    The battery life is not good, I wouldn’t know it didn’t come with any. Also we had to pay someone to program the channels. It’s sometimes really hard to clearly hear what is being said compared to our base scanner.

    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.

    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.

    Where do I start? This thing is an absolute nightmare to program. If you dont use software forget it. Manual is totally useless. Now on to the hardware. Using a USB cable to provide power to run a portable radio is a very poor choice. Taking the cable in and out a thousand times will only result in failure at some point. I dont believe an engineer would choose this over the ultimate in reliability - the traditional round power plug. Next, in order to change the volume you have to press the button down while simultaneously turning the knob. The volume knob uses a détente which clicks. Bad design. Lastly, and most importantly, the device cannot charge batteries unless it is off. This is a FABULOUS design. I dont know anyone that buys a scanner to have it off. You also have to manually program it to tell the device how long you want to charge the batteries as the device doesnt stop charging when the batteries are fully charged. You have to constantly switch batteries or constantly turn the device off for up to 14 hours. I understand the dumb California law. Uniden should have done things like most other companies. Design a great product and then mark it as Not for sale in California. I cant believe an electronics engineer would actually design a worthless device like this one. They had to be driven by high level managers driven by profit, managers who never used a scanner in their life. Uniden blew it. Products like this are what makes companies end up going out of business...................

    Omg programming this scanner is insanely difficult took me 30 days to figure this out finally got the scanner to work and its amazing scanner. Really needs to come with a step by step software would have made programming much easier I give this scanner a 5 star for overall quality and a 1 Star for programming and setting up the scanner

    Some advice based on my experience, my opinion only . I am amateur radio operator, so I am familiar with frequency databases, and programming radios to hear what I want. 1. The only way to go is to use the free scanner programming software. 2. sign up up for an account on Radio Reference. 3. Use the software to pull the freqs you want form the RR web-site. Once programmed, the BCD325P2 is great to use. Has good sensitivity. This is the best scanner Ive owned. 4. Invest in extra NiMH batteries and a charger. The BCD325 only charges when it is turned off and uses a timer to prevent overcharging which may result in the built-in charger shutting off before the batteries are fully charged resulting in short battery life. Pay attention ! Its a very good scanner.

    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.

The BCD325P2 comes equipped with Uniden exclusive features like Advanced Dynamic Memory System, Close Call RF Capture Technology, and GPS compatibility. It also includes support for the latest APCO Project 25 Phase II systems.
