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.

Very happy with my purchase of this scanner

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.

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.

I have had several Uniden scanners, and this scanner is a major step back for Uniden, And I am surprised that Uniden actually markets it. First, contrary to what the manual says, it will not operated without batteries; The USB cable can also be used to power the scanner when the batteries are removed. Plug the USB cable into the scanner with no batteries and No Battery will display. Press and hold the power button to turn on the scanner., that is an out-and-out lie. Second it EATS batteries. With the cheapo rechargeable batteries that comes with it, plan on 30 to 45 minutes of listen time, then a 14 hour charge time. If you buy better rechargeable batteries, then you get up to 3 hours of listen time, then a 14 hour recharge time. And if you decide to use regular batteries to avoid the 14 hour outage to recharge, then buy stock in a battery company because you will make them richer having to continually replace the batteries.

Eating batteries for living

kind of a pain to program had mine about 5yrs better recieve then whistler ws-1040 which i also have the two systems i monitor are p25 & star comm in which bearcat receives both well but whistler seems to struggle no matter the settings - threshold- as long as scanners been made you would think BEARCAT would make their units with keypad back light not just the display my personal opinion if you only going to monitor conventional frequencies or starcom the whistler would be fine & slightly cheaper but also little bigger more user friendly to program & the whole radio has bright backlight display & you can also turn off both independently hope this helps in decision making.....happy programming

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.

Not the easiest to program. Manual is very confusing.

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.

Great scanner. Have always had uniden scanners and always had good luck with them. It was time to upgrade and happy with the scanner once I got it programmed. The programming is difficult and the third party software down load is I little confusing to undertstand. The software also caused issues with 2 computers as far as the drivers go. But once the software was working programming was very easy. Defiantly going to get and external speaker.
