Uniden BCD325P2: Who is it for?
If spending Saturday with a frequency chart sounds like a good time, you've found your radio. If you'd rather press one button and hear the sheriff, the BCD436HP is easier to live with.
The Uniden BCD325P2 is a compact digital handheld that gives experienced listeners detailed control over systems, sites and talkgroups. This is the old-school keypad approach to modern P25 scanning.
Why choose it?
- P25 Phase I and II. Tracks compatible digital public-safety trunked systems.
- Traditional dynamic memory. Organize systems, sites and channels without depending on an SD-card database.
- Close Call RF Capture. Find strong nearby transmissions you have not programmed.
- Quick Keys and alpha tags. Reach favorite systems quickly and label channels in plain English.
- Weather and fire alert features. NOAA/S.A.M.E. alerts and supported fire-tone-out monitoring.
- Optional GPS. Connect required compatible GPS accessories for location-controlled scanning.
- Optional digital format upgrades. DMR, NXDN and ProVoice require separate paid keys where supported.
Buying warning: This model does not come with Uniden Sentinel or a ready-to-use national frequency database. You must enter channels manually or use compatible third-party PC software. It also lacks True I/Q for difficult simulcast.
Before you buy
The right scanner depends on the radio network where you actually live, not on a bigger specifications table.
