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.

after reading previous reviews I was a little afraid to even start programing my scanner however after signing up at radio reference and downloading the freescan softqare I was up and running in about 15 minutes.... Im learning something new everyday about my scanner... one thing I wish is that the battery life was longer but it shouldnt be too much of an issue since I will primarily using my scanner at home while Im crafting and such.... also wish the batteries would charge while it is plugged in.... with all said Im very happy with my purchase of the bcd325p2.

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.

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.

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...

Either I cant read correctly, or the instructions dont match. Put in numbers for my county and nothing happens. Cant pick up anything, not even planes.

Love the capacity & capability of this scanner. The one big negative is batteries. They only last 4 hours and you can only charge them when the scanner is off.

This scanner is impossible to program without a lot of training. I expected with modern tech that I would just sync it to my computer and it would sync the necessary frequencies for my local trunked system. Not so. It says its programable via PC, but the software is not from Uniden and obsolete. I was trying to replace a nearly 30 year old Radio Shack trunk tracking scanner that was simple to program. I will be returning this. Update: Purchased the SDS 100. While it is twice the cost, it is well worth it.

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

I havent done much testing on this radio but I found out the stock antanna is poor quality ( garbage ) a compatible third party antanna is recommended the radio is easy to program via pc useing FreeScan I also got some DX1500 NiMH 1.2v 2500MAh batterys to replace the included stock rechargeable batterys Im still trying to figure out the P25 feature I did update the firmware to 1.09.12 that added more features this is my first digital scanner so Ill learn
