Uniden BC125AT: Who is it for?
For airshow regulars, railroad fans and NASCAR weekends, this is the kind of radio that earns a spot next to the binoculars. But if you're chasing a modern encrypted or digital police network, it's the wrong tool.
The Uniden BC125AT is a compact analog scanner with direct keypad control, useful service searches and clear channel labels. It is meant for listening to conventional analog channels, not the digital systems many police departments have adopted.
What makes this scanner useful?
- 500 alpha-tagged channels. Organize favorite frequencies in 10 channel banks.
- Civil and military aviation. Monitor compatible air traffic and military air bands.
- Close Call RF Capture. Find strong nearby transmissions without already knowing the frequency.
- Railroad, racing and marine. Great for compatible conventional analog listening interests.
- Backlit display. Readable channel names and controls without a smartphone app.
- Free Uniden Windows programming software. Manage stored frequencies and supported updates from a PC.
- Portable AA power. Compact handheld design with rechargeable NiMH battery capability.
Watch it in action
Analog only: The BC125AT cannot decode P25, DMR or NXDN digital signals, and it does not track trunked systems. Don't buy it for police or fire listening until you've confirmed the exact local channels.
Check your radio systems before ordering
Different agencies use very different networks. The correct model depends on what you want to hear and where you plan to listen.
