Bearcat BCD160DN Handheld Digital Scanner, Exclusive Features, Band Scope Rapid System/Channel Number Tagging, Narrow-Band Reception, and Search Features to Detect Signals Faster Than Ever

Good unit, easy to program and fits on my belt nicely. Really recommend an earpiece as for the speaker is small, but that is expected in small hand held units.

This scanner is a piece of crap. Batteries only last about 2hrs. Difficult to program. Hard to hear. Cannot block certain banks, if you block a freq. then turn off have to go through and block again. Do not buy

This scanner picks up analog, DMR and NXDN. It does not pick up P25 or do trunking. It is a great scanner if you already have something like a Whistler WS1065 or WS1040 and your area went to dmr or nxdn. You can use it along side your existing scanner to hear all the action.

Yet to determine the operation quality. Programming is a pain even the software they provide for download is of very poor design. Scanner came in a box that seemed to have been open before inside the box the scanner, cable not packaged as it it was new nothing was bag, there was no screen protection peel off film & found what seemed like bread crumbs in the box so still unsure I'll be keeping this. I have another Uniden scanner and love it so that made this one a little disappointing. UPDATE: Poor volume even turned all the way up it's still very low. I did some checking with other people that have this scanner and they agree uniden need's to do some work on this. I'm going to try a Bluetooth transmitter with a wireless lapel speaker.

Came with a coupon to send it in for upgrade to nxdn. I don't know if it needs more done to it, but the ad says it is supposed to be ready out of the box. Unnecessarily, overly complicated to program. Poor reception. Charging/battery state system clunky. No charger included either. Just a cable for an older style USB. Poor to no NDXN implementation and documentation. Could not pick up anything either in search mode or programming with proscan. If it has NDXN capabilities out of the box it did not produce it for me. Reception of standard stations was adequate to inferior to my old radio. I did receive 1... 1 station plus the weather channel. Yet the price was double and did not get me any better capabilities. I am disappointed with the purchase. I don't know how other radio users feel about the price point, but this was a premium price for me for a far less than premium scanner. I'm going back to decades old scanners that simply work better even though they predate ndxn . Not only that, but there will be a huge delay in a refund being issued (nearly a month) because this is secretly a third party seller.

Very nice scanner with plenty of banks and slots to store radio frequencies. Takes a bit of practice to get use to the functions. Scan rate and accuracy have been excellent. Accepted replacement antennas well. Display is dim. Power plug connection is ancient. Plastic screen cracked in a week.

This one is junk. Won't hold charge, won't scan properly.

Great scanner for what it is designed to do. Just be careful and do your research on what you need for your area. This scanner Does both conventional and digital modes however it only does NXDN and DMR for digital modes. It does not have any trunking features so make sure you don't need trunking. This is a great scanner for those wanting to listen to trains/railroads and it receives aircraft really well. very easy to program from the scanner itself however you do have the option of programming via a PC with the free software from Uniden. If you need a simple HH scanner that does simple NXDN and DMR then I can highly recommend this scanner.

brill radio , highly recommended

Very nice looking radio. Small and compact. Audio is quite good in good reception areas. Sensitivity for airband is very good but gets overloaded way too easily. If you are within several miles of transmitters you will be hearing all of them no matter what frequency you are on when your radio is picking up any of the transmissoins.. DMR sensitivity is not that good. Shame uniden made a very bad radio for airband. £250+ is a big con. Poor radio. Better go back to 125XLT model.

Not impressed there are better ones out there but it is very easy to program

The great thing about this transaction was Amazons service. It arrived from American in 7 days and sadly after a few hours it was back in the box and returned, which Amazon fulfilled with no quibble so another plus for them. The product itself though is poor. Now There are a lot of happy folk who have bought this and I guess it’s possible I could’ve bought a dud but… I have two companies nearby who transmit on DMR. Both within a couple of miles. My Whistler TRX1 picks up no problem and incidentally my friends Uniden 3600 also receives them with the same strength. This was deaf…and I mean deaf! Tried with both my external antenna and a Diamond telescopic back to back with the Whistler. It wasn’t just DMR either. Air band reception was weaker as was HAM. That was enough for me to send it packing.

Like the 125/325P2, good little form factor and pretty easy to use. Good sensitivity and audio. However, like the SDS100 I had (and returned), this suffered a fair bit of intermod/bleedover when scanning the VHF Air band in a fairly strong signal area, and connected to an externally mounted antenna. It was noticeably worse than the 125 and 325P2, and has unfortunately been returned. For use out and about using a decent BNC antenna, and with the capability to receive DMR/NXDN out of the box, it could be a nice addition if you have a 125, and not using it predominantly as a base receiver.
