ARC XT PRO FORUM SOFTWARE

However, the BCD325P2 can be programmed via 3rd party software such as Proscan, Butel Arc-XT-Basic or Arc-XT Pro, or via FreeScan. PHEW! That could be insane for the first time user. The BCD325P2 doesn’t even come with programming software at all! In order to program it the directions say to do it manually. The SDS100 can be programmed with a zip code input which makes it a piece of cake for a first time scanner user/programmer. It’s kind of difficult to review this scanner because I already own a Uniden SDS100, which has got to be the best handheld scanner on the planet. Now that I have one good, and one bad……Let’s dig in a little deeper.

I’m not done playing with P25 threshold settings or using a lesser antenna to try to cut reception from one of the two towers near me. On the “I Don’t Like” side of the equation, it just doesn’t do well with my local Simulcast system, New Bern Public Safety which is a P25 Phase 1 LSM system. Much more suited to the backpack or belt clip or just carrying it around in your hand. You can also use AA rechargeable batteries in this scanner so you kind of have the best of both worlds.Īlso the scanner is really lightweight compared to my Uniden SDS100 or Whistler TRX-1. Scanners with rechargeable brick batteries are cool but when they drop dead they must immediately be tethered to a power source. There is a lot to like about this scanner and first and foremost my favorite feature may be that it uses AA batteries. What I can do is to use something from the common man standpoint and tell you what I think of it. I can’t give you the specifications better than Uniden can. The scanner is circa 2015 so it isn’t a new offering and I got mine used which is probably the cheapest way to buy one of these. I recently picked up a Uniden BCD325P2 and am currently putting it through its paces.
